Book report:

1. The title of the book is The hunger games: Mockingjay. The author
is Suzanne Collins.

2. After her rescue by the rebels of District 13, Katniss is convinced to

become "the Mockingjay": a symbol of the rebellion against the
ruling Capitol. As part of the agreement, she demands that the
leader of District 13, President Coin, grant immunity to all of the
Quarter Quell participants, including Peeta, and that Katniss reserves
the right to kill President Snow, the unquestioned dictator of Panem.
Much to her displeasure, Katniss is kept away from the battles and
works to create propaganda for the rebels. Katniss is unable to cope
with the guilt as she watches a mentally ill Peeta on television,
where he is forced to provide propaganda against her and the rebels
for the Capitol. Finally, District 13 leaders decide to rescue Peeta,
realizing that Katniss's guilt is impeding her role as "the Mockingjay."
After the rescue, it is discovered that Peeta has been brainwashed
into believing Katniss is the enemy, and he attempts to strangle her
during their reunion. Peeta's brainwashing deeply affects and
disturbs Katniss, but he gradually improves after much treatment
and therapy, including cake decorating. His childhood friend, Delly
Cartwright, helps with his recovery by recounting happy events from
their past. Soon, Peeta recovers fully enough to train. Katniss and
her propaganda unit are sent off on a mission to the Capitol, and
President Coin later sends Peeta with them in replacement of
another soldier, although his many scarred memories fuel his rage.
The rebels, including Katniss, gain control of the districts and begin
an assault on the Capitol. A propaganda filming in a "safe" Capitol
neighborhood goes wrong, and Katniss and her team flee further into
the city with the intent of finding and killing President Snow. Many
members of Katniss's team are killed through intense urban warfare,
including Hunger Games victor Finnick Odair. Eventually, Katniss
presses on alone towards Snow's mansion, which has supposedly
been opened to shelter Capitol children, but is actually intended to
trap the kids and use them as human shields for President Snow. As
she reaches the mansion, a hover plane with Capitol markings drops
supply parachutes to the children which then explode, killing many
of the children. A rebel medical team, including Katniss's sister Prim,
attempt to provide care to the wounded children as the rest of the
parachutes explode killing Prim and many others. Watching her
sister die traumatizes the already mentally exhausted Katniss, and
she falls into a deep depression, although she is even more
determined to get her revenge on President Snow. After the rebels'
 victory, it is decided to punish the Capitol in a similar way the
Capitol punished the Districts, by continuing to hold the Hunger
Games, but with children from the Capitol. While recovering from the
same explosion that killed her sister, Katniss accidentally encounters
President Snow who is under house arrest. Snow tells her that he did
not order the assault that killed Prim, saying he would have escaped
if he had access to a hover plane and instead accuses Coin of having
killed those children. When Katniss expresses her doubts about his
innocence, Snow reminds her that they had agreed not to lie to each
other following the 74th Annual Hunger Games. He also explains
that the bombing of the children would have served no purpose for
him, as it turned the remaining Capitol citizens against him. Katniss
recalls that the bombing resembles a trap originally developed by
Gale Hawthorne; Gale denies his involvement but Katniss cannot
help holding him responsible. At Snow's execution, Katniss thinks
back to her conversation with him, and realizes someone high up
would have to give permission for Prim to be on the front lines
despite her young age. Making it look like the Capitol killed Prim
would push Katniss's loyalty to Coin and would also drive a wedge
between the Capitol and President Snow. When she is given the
opportunity to assassinate Snow, Katniss raises her bow and shoots
Coin instead, killing her. A riot ensues and Snow is found dead.
Katniss then tries to commit suicide, but Peeta stops her. Katniss is
acquitted due to her apparent insanity and sent home to District 12,
along with others who are attempting to rebuild. Peeta returns
months later, having largely recovered from his brainwashing.
Katniss falls back in love with Peeta, recognizing she needs his hope,
and strength, in contrast to Gale who has the same fire she already
finds in herself. Together with Haymitch they write a book filled with
the stories of previous tributes of the Hunger Games and those who
died in the war to preserve their memory. In the epilogue, twenty
years later Katniss and Peeta are married and have two children. The
Hunger Games are over, but Katniss dreads the day her children
learn about their parents' involvement in both the Games and the
war. When she feels distressed, Katniss plays a comforting but
repetitive "game," reminding herself of every good thing that she
has ever seen someone do. The series ends with Katniss claiming
that "there are much worse games to play." Source:

3. The main characters of the story are: Katniss Everdeen, Peeta

Mellark, Gale Hawthorne, Haymitch Abernathy, Primrose Everdeen.
 Katniss Everdeen: She took the place in the 74 th Hunger games for
her younger sister Primrose. She and Peeta Mellark survived the Hunger
games. Katniss is very motivated to kill President Snow because of all
the suffer Katniss had to go through. During the story, Katniss became
more and more motivated of her killing the president. Katniss is a very
brave girl who doesnt turn her hand around for saving the districts. She
also never gives up. How do you feel?A little beat-up but all right I
say. Page 120 lines 16-17. Peeta Mellark: Peeta was
th
captured by the capitol after the 75 Hunger games. He was
brainwashed by the capitol, they made him believe that Katniss was the
enemy. When he was saved he tried to strangle Katniss, still believing
that she was the enemy. With the help of a childhood friend they
manage to get Peeta to believe that shes not the enemy. He recovers.
Peeta also wants his revenge on the capitol, the same as Katniss wants
it to.
Gale Hawthorne: Gale is a good friend of Katniss. The two of them
met during hunting in the woods. Gale managed to save the lives of
many people of district 12 during the bombing. He also wants his
revenge, he designs traps and weapons against the capitol. I know he
is telling the truth. That gale would sacrifice his life in this way for the
cause- no one doubts it. Page 240 lines 3- 4.
Haymitch Abernathy: Haymitch trained Peeta and Katniss during the
74th Hunger games and the 75th. Haymitch is often drunk but has a
good heart. Haymitch plans an assault on an mountain nicknamed the
nut. He also wants revenge. Primrose
Everdeen: Primrose is the younger sister from Katniss. She was to fight
in the Hunger games but Katniss took her place. Primrose is very
scared. She was killed during an attack on the capitol by a bomb
designed by Gale.

4. The story takes place in Panem which was the former North America.
Panem was first divided in 13 districts, but after an act of rebellion,
the district was destroyed. the story is based on the future but their
way of life is just like the Middles ages. the districts have to life from
minerals and supplies that are in their districts. Hunting is illegal but
people do it anyways. The author does tell the story chronologically.

5. The story is told by Katniss. This is very important for the story
because you can experience everything very close. You share the
feeling with Katniss because you see the story through her eyes. I
stare down at my shoes, watching as a fine layer of ash settles on
the worn leather. Page 3 line 1.
6. The theme is of the story is warfare, because the districts become a group
of rebellion and want to change the gouvernement. They built bombs plans
and weepons to achive their goal. The theme is a bit romantisized
because of her relationship with Peeta.
7. I really liked the book but it wasnt my intention to read this book. I wanted
to read the First part of the book but I accidentially took the wrong book.
Dispite of that I didnt understand the book very well, but with the help of
the internet was I able to understand it.
