William Chantril Paul 5/24/2013 English 5th period ALL BOOKED UP REPORT-MockingJay Title/Author: The Title of the book

is MockingJay and it is written by Suzanne Collins Type of Book: This type of book can be considered as a fiction sci-fi fantasy. Plot of the Book: After her rescue by rebels, Katniss reluctantly agrees to become "the Mockingjay", a symbol of the rebellion against the Capitol. As part of a deal, she demands that the leader of District 13, President Coin, grant immunity to all of the victors of the Hunger Games. She also demands the right to kill President Snow herself. In a daring rescue, Peeta and other victors are rescued from the Capitol. However, Peeta has been brainwashed into hating Katniss, and tries to kill her upon their reunion in District 13. The rebels take control of the districts and finally begin an assault on the Capitol itself, which Katniss is a part of. However, an assault on a "safe" Capitol neighborhood goes wrong, and Katniss and her team flee further into the Capitol with the intent of finding and killing President Snow. Eventually Katniss finds herself pressing on alone towards Snow's mansion, which has supposedly been opened to shelter Capitol children (but is actually intended to provide human shields for Snow). Afterwards, bombs placed in supply packages kill many of these children and a rebel medical team, including Katniss' sister Prim. President Snow is tried and found guilty, but he tells Katniss that the final assault that killed Prim was ordered by President Coin, not the Capitol. Katniss realizes that if this is true, the bombing may have been the result of a plan originally developed by her friend Gale. Katniss realizes that she will never be able to look at Gale the same way, regardless of whether he was directly involved in Prim's death. Katniss remembers a conversation with Snow in which they promised not to lie to each other. When she is supposed to execute Snow, she realizes that he was telling the truth and kills Coin instead. A riot ensues and Snow is found dead, having possibly choked on his own blood or been trampled in the crowd. Katniss is acquitted due to her apparent insanity and returns to her home in District 12. Peeta returns soon after as well, having largely recovered from his brainwashing. Theme of the Book: The main theme in the book is how things in the dark can control you without you knowing that it is happening. Two Main Characters from the Book: 1. Katniss-A 16 year old girl with a few scars. She is of average height with very strong muscles and high flexibility. She has some emotional issues arising from kills she was forced to make to save her life. 2. Gale-A 17 year old boy that is Katniss first boyfriend. He is tall and muscular. He is known to be an anti-hero for he plans for the benefit of someone in trouble but innocents may be in trouble. Two Important Scenes /Quote in the Book: 1. I stare down at my shoes, watching as a fine layer of ash settles on the worn leather. This is where the bed I shared with my sister, Prim, stood. By Katniss Everdeen, p. 3. This quote explains the emotions that Katniss is having when she sees her house completely destroyed showing how far her life as changed since she went to her first Hunger Game. 2. You love me, Real or not Real?Peeta Mellark Real.Katniss Everdeen, p. 388

This exchange reveals that Katniss always like Peeta and that he was the effort that she put in to save his life. My recommendation of the Book: I would recommend this book to people that like tense situations and romance. This book does contain sad and graphic scene so I would consider that the reader is strong enough to stomach the emotions and deaths.
