Mockingjay Analysis


In Mockingjay, a teenage girl is overcome with emotions of love, pain, and spite while trying to adapt to a completely different environment.  Mockingjay is written in Katniss, the teenage girl’s, point of view.  With Katniss telling the story, everything seems to be a do or die situation.
After being in the hunger games twice, Katniss sees everything as life and death.  In district 8, it was sit there and hide while people die, or try to shoot down the Capital’s hoverplanes against orders.  Again, in the Capitol, it was be a good girl and head back to camp, or try to get to President Snow’ s mansion so she can finally get her revenge.
If the story was told from one of the other characters point of view, everything would be different.  I believe Katniss was the one that was chosen to tell the story, because she had the most emotional point of view and it is easiest to get into the story when there are lots of emotions.  Just imagine what it would be like if Peeta told the story.
