 MOCKINGJAY
      In the book, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins is about girl named Katniss Everdeen. She is seventeen years old. Her home is District 12. She was in the Hunger Games. She escaped. The Capitol hates her. Peeta was taken prisoner. He is thought to be dead. Most likely he is dead. It is probably best if he is dead (Let that sink in for who ever read it...). There are tons upon tons of strong power in people in this book. Katniss and Peeta are the strongest people in this. And there are multiple reasons.
      Katniss, the main character, is the most awesome character I've ever read about. One of the examples why I think this way is, "President Snow says he's sending a message? Well, I have one for him. You can torture us, and bomb us and burn our districts to the ground, but do you see that? Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!" This shows power because in a life-death situation she is sending a message directly to the Capitol. Also she's wanted the revenge on the Capitol for so long now, it's been building up on inside her, and one day it's just going to burst out in rage. Peeta, the secondary character, is one of the bravest in this book. Firstly, in the book it has him saying, "Friend. Victor. Enemy. Fiancee. Target. Mutt. Neighbor. Hunter. Tribute. Ally. I'll add it to the list of words I use to figure you out." He's putting words together to find out who Katniss is to him. He's trying to fight the brainwash.
