Summer Reading Assignment Post 1

     The book I am reading is Mockingjay, the third book in The Hunger Games series. In the book so far we have seen Katniss, the main character of the book, struggle with her new life in district 13, after the bombings in her home, district 12. She has slowly begun to accept her role as the leader of the rebellion, the Mockingjay, against the capital, the tyrannical leaders of all of the districts. 
     
     The major characters of the book are Katniss, Gale, Finnick, and Peeta. Even though Peeta is a major character and does have a lot to do with the books story he does not appear much in the first part of the book because he is held prisoner in The Capitol and is rescued and taken to District 13 later in the book. There are also other characters like President Coin who is the leader of district 13, Haymitch, Prim, Katniss’ mother, Beetee, Cressida, and others who help Katniss lead the rebellion. There is also President Snow, who is the tyrannical leader of the districts. President Snow is the main antagonist of this book along with other capital officials and their army. The main conflict of this novel is with them and trying to take them down. There have been many battles already in districts 8 and 2 but none directly yet with the capitol which I’m sure will come soon.
