In the final book of the Hunger Games, “Mockingjay” brings to us characters who have ambition, bravery, desire, and loyalty to help fight their battles. In the Mockingjay Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Gale Hawthorne, Haymitch Abernathy, President Coin, and President Snow are mainly the characters who make up the book and take it to a higher level every
