Catching Fire
I recently read Catching Fire by Suzanne collins. Most people have read this so i won't spent much time on the plot. in the Hunger games series, just like TKM, a bird is a very prominent symbol. in TKM it's a mockingbird representing Boo and Tom, in this series it's the fictional Mockingjay that is a symbol for an entire society. the story of the mockingjay is that it starts as as the Jabberjay, trained by the Capitol to record and replay the conversations of rebels, but the jabber jays were turned against the Capitol and the Capitol disposed of them, sent them into the wild and tried to kill them, they thought that they would die because they had never adapted to living alone. the Jabberjays though survived and thrived, they bred with Mockingbirds and became mockingjays. In catching fire the mockingjay becomes a fashion symbol in the Capitol, but, because of katniss, they are a symbol of rebellion for the districts. in the end of the book the Capitol's Hunger games turn on them and a rebellion is started.

This sounds like a really cool, interesting book that I might like too. I have heard a lot about the series, especially recently, and was thinking that this series would be a good change of genre for me. Maybe I will check this book out and see what it has to offer!
ReplyDeleteI loved and really enjoyed this book! It is such a fun read that I recommend to all. I like how you plunged into specific detail about what happens in the story. I hope you enjoyed the book along with the series as much as I did. Overall, good analysis of the novel!
