In the dystopian world of Panem, a nation in the that is located where Canada and the United States once were, there is a Mockingjay. A Mockingjay that means your work is done, a Mockingjay that means someone is safe, a Mockingjay that means war. Not war like when you fight with another country, this war is one where more than half the country rebels against the government, and they end up fighting harshly among themselves. This is the time of Katniss Everdeen. She was a contestant in The Hunger Games, she is a victor of the Games, she is a soldier, she is a rebel, she is The Girl on Fire. But there is one more thing. Katniss Everdeen is the Mockingjay.
After escaping her second Hunger Games, which is known as the 75th annual Hunger Games, or the Third Quarter Quell, Katniss is transported from District 12 to District 13. Everyone thought that District 13 didn't have any human life in it for 75 years, because before that time, District 13 rebelled, and Panem's Capitol launched toxic grenades and other sorts highly dangerous bombs to destroy all life there. And they did. When Katniss arrives, she is treated with great respect, but hates it there. She still has her mom, her little sister, Prim, her best friend, Gale, and her intoxicated mentor, Haymitch, but she is missing someone. Peeta Mellark. Katniss is missing Peeta Mellark, her ally in all two Hunger Games, her partner, and her admirer. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol when the Quarter Quell Arena was exploding. The Capitol brainwashed him. They used poisonous venom to turn all his memories of Katniss into a very scary and scarring one. They made Peeta think Katniss was an evil mutt created by the Capitol, out to destroy everyone. The Capitol destroyed his love into hate. I wouldn't want to live in a world like that. Children, teens, adults, and the elderly are mistreated and tortured. The Capitol is cruel and does not believe in anything that has to do with humanity. I am so glad that I live in 2012.
As Peeta broadcasts his hate on the Capitol television, Katniss broadcasts her strength, her ability to fight, and her hate for the Capitol. Katniss also broadcasts a response to Peeta's want for a cease-fire. Which Beetee, another victor of a previous Hunger Games, and a contestant in the Quarter Quell (who escaped with Katniss), uses to show the Capitol, cutting from a talkshow that includes Peeta. When President Snow, and Peeta sees this, they get angry. Suddenly, Peeta says, "Katniss... you... dead by morning." The camera goes to the floor, Peeta screams, and blood splatters the floor. Once again, the Capitol does not believe in humanity. Children and teens abused all the time. President Snow is someone who holds a black heart. As long as he gets his resources, money, and a good show, he has no worry about anything he does. Even if he destroys the life of millions.
The rebels break Peeta out of the Capitol, and brings him to District 13. When he first sees Katniss there, he chokes her. As Peeta and Katniss both heal, they are sent to fight in the Capitol. When they are hiding in the underground Capitol, they hear scary, hissing voices, that says Katniss. Then, they see those mutts. They look like half lizards, and half human. They eat anything. They ate many members were sent out with Katniss and Peeta. I feel horrible for everyone. How did President Snow even get elected? He's nothing but evil.
As the book ends, the Capitol surrenders, and President Snow dies. Peeta is 99% healed. Although Katniss does say that sometimes he clings on to chairs with the Capitol-manipulated memories. But everything turns out well. I think it is a beautiful thing to end the book with the lullaby Katniss sang to an ally in her first Hunger Games, as she died. The ending is beautiful, but as Katniss says, "But there are more games to play."
