Mockingjay
In the book Catching Fire, a major symbol was the Mockingjay pin that Katniss wore during the hunger games. A Mockingjay is a bird made from the Jabberjay and Mockingbird. The Capitol saw this bird as a species that would die off which is just like Katniss. The pin showed a sign of rebellion and how the people of the districts wanted to fight back against the Capitol. Katniss was the leader of the rebellion because of what she did in the first hunger games where her and Peta were going to eat the poisonous berries because they couldn’t stand to live without each other. President Snow hated this loophole they found in the game and wasn’t about to let it happen again. Whether Katniss liked it or not, she had already started the uprising and it would only get worse. People who represented the Mockingjay knew that it was their way of expressing that they were with her and loved what she did. The Mockingjay started as just a good luck charm she brought with her into the games but now was a representation of the rebellion and uprising that had began. It was also a symbol that they were on Katniss’s side and supported her. It was a sign of what they were fighting for. The people did not like that they were making the victors of each district compete in the games again because they knew that Katniss would be in it. They knew that the capitol did this on purpose and they needed to fight back with Katniss. Katniss knew that what the capitol was doing was wrong and her and the districts were going to put a stop to it.
