Mockingjay has gotten a lot more intense and anticipating as I get further near the end, and it's making me want to read a lot faster. Also, the prequel The Hunger Games, is premiering in theaters on Friday, so now I'm really motivated to finish the series (although I don't know why, because Mockingjay doesn't really tell you much about The Hunger Games)! Anyway, I think from where I left off, I said that Katniss was just getting into the rebellion. At this point, her main goal is to kill Snow among her friends or troops, and I don't want to spoil a lot more because it'll give away too much... I think that once I finish it altogether, all of my main questions will be answered, like "what will Panem's fate be if Snow dies and everyone is free?" But I guess I'll have to keep reading to find out.
We also see a lot here about Katniss and Peeta's relationship, because if none of you know, Peeta's brain has been programmed to think that "Katniss is the enemy" and she is the cause for all that's happened with his home, family, and his own fate. Now, I want to say that they've put the bad things behind them and moved on, but it still isn't true because I can see that Peeta is really disturbed. The big intensity happens with actually getting to the Capitol, and I find it interesting that everyone keeps a "keep moving forward" mentality because if someone gets left behind, there's no turning back. And to be honest, it makes be kind of frustrated that the Capitol is responsible for all of these fates and people dying uncontrollably. I'm just hoping that Katniss' recurring conflict can be resolved because she has all of these depressing emotions, and it makes me think that she's kind of an antagonist (with herself and the Capitol, of course). Hopefully next week I'll be able to finish the book and see how it all ends!
