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.
Suzanne Collins made this book deeply emotional by choosing Katniss to tell the story. This was an excellent decision because readers get into the book more if they are able to feel the same emotions as the character. Also, if she choose Peeta to tell the story, it would be told from and insane point of view that would not make any sense. Although, Katniss is slightly insane herself.
