The Mockingjay

" Finally, he can see me for who I reallly am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly.
And I hate him for it." (Mockingjay, 232)

Katniss Everdeen is a free willed and strong and underestimates what she is capable of. In this section of the story where she seems to loose grasp of who she is and all the ones she cared for. She becomes exactly who she needs to be when she needs to be, and all the things she's been through made her the person she is today. The one thing she can never manage to see is the good hearted person she was from the very begining.

My prediction is that she realises how much good she has done to her people and the ones she loves. That shes plays a bigger part in the war then she once realized and contines to fight for their freedom with determination and courage. In the end things will work out, but in a way no one expected because I think there will be a twist in the end to finish off this adrenaline pumping and unforgetable series.

 The book that I just finshed reading is called The Help by Kathryn Stockett. This book is takes place in the 1960's, Mississippi, when coloured women worked in high end white homes cooking, cleaning and watching after the children. Skeeter, a popluar and respected twenty two year old, decides to take a stand against racism by interviewing black maids and turning they're jobs and life struggles into a published book. The book soons becomes famous and helps open not only Mississippi eyes, but also many other places affected by racism.

The Help is a heartwarming book that you never want to put down. It has a powerful effect on its readers without getting to far into the racism issue that you can't relate with the characters. It let's you take a look at the horror's and blessing that that come from these complicated relationships in an entertaining way that keeps you readin until the very end.
