Catching Fire Symbolism

A symbol in my book Catching Fire is a Mocking Jay. A Mocking Jay symbolism how Peeta and Katniss mocked the Capitol in the first hunger games. It symbolizes the revolts in Catching Fire. Some of the distracts have started to try to revolt against the Capitol. The distracts that are revolting feel like the Capitol is taking unfair advantage of them with the Hunger Gams every year and how they are treated so poorly. I feel like a Mocking Jay is a symbol in Catching Fire because not only did Katniss and Peeta mock the capitol but the capitol also mocks the distracts. When Katniss and Peeta both won the hunger games the Capitol put more peace keepers in the distracts and made the laws harsher. I feel like this is the reason many distracts have decided to revolt against the capitol.

Catching Fire

I picked to read Catching Fire this trimester because I read the first one right before i went to see the movie. I haven't seen the movie Catching Fire yet so I want to read the book before. I loved the first movie of rthe Hunger Games triliogy. But I thought the book was better then the movie. I like Peeta the most because he is a really smart guy when it comes to survival. Like in the first book when he made himself blend in with those rocks after getting injured. I am hoping that this book is as good as everyone says the movie is because I have heard many good things about the movie. I will try to avoid spoilers when posting about Catching Fire!

Fahrenheit 451 Connections

I have a text to text connection with the Giver. In the giver it is a "perfect society" where the government controls the amount of knowledge you have. Like in Fahrenheit 451 where nobody is allowed to have or read books. The government doesn't want people to have more knowledge then anyone else. This is similar to the Giver because the government controlled a lot of things like the weather and what people can see, like specific colors. But certain people didn't follow the government's rules. Like the woman in Fahrenheit 451 who had books and Montag was suppose to burn them but the women wouldn't let them, so she was burned with the books. In the Giver the main character, Jonah was his name i think, ran away from the society because he knew things that many people in the society didn't know and it made him sad but also mad. Both books, the Giver and Fahrenheit 451, both had "perfect societies" where characters knew more stuff then they should and suffered consequences.
