Today, instead of continuing to reread The Hunger Games, i began the Mocking Jay which i have also already read. I did this to test my memory and as a little refresher of the book. I had the same experience with Mocking Jay that i had with The Hunger Games in terms of how good the writing is. It was also really cool when i was reading the Mocking Jay it tied back to both the first and second book and it tied back to some small things that i had forgotten about and when i read the Mocking Jay it all kind of flooded back. It is very interesting to read and see in my mind the change in how Katniss views her world, the people around her, and life in general. At first i believe that she put all her will power in surviving but in the third book we see how much she has been through and how much she has lost. This has a huge effect on her and she states in the Mocking Jay one thing that really made me think about what she has become. She said something along the lines of, I hate everyone but i hate myself more than i hate all of them. Her change in mood has most likely effected the people around her and the people who look up to her. All in all the writing and content in these books is absolutely amazing and intriguing. I hope you read them soon and get a chance to see the new movie based off the first book.
