MockingjayBy: Suzanne Collins Project by: Nathan Filewicz
Character • Beginning- “My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am seventeen years old. My home is district 12. I was in the Hunger Games. I escaped. The Capitol hates me”(4). • Middle- “A piece of white paper, coated in clear plastic, reads Bunker Protocol”(141). • End-”Just a few days before the troops are to move out, York unexpectedly tells Johanna and me she’s recommended us for the exam, and we’re to report immediately. There are four parts: an obstacle course that assesses your physical condition, a written tactics exam, a test of weapons proficiency, and a simulated combat situation in the Block”(248).
Setting • Beginning-”The arrows that Beetee designed are no less remarkable than the bow. Between the two, I can shoot with accuracy over one hundred yards. The variety of arrows-razor sharp, incendiary, explosive- turn the bow into a multipurpose weapon”(70). • Middle-”That’s when the first bomb hits. There’s an initial sense of impact followed by an explosion that resonates in my inner most parts, the lining of my intestines the marrow of my bones, the roots of my teeth. We’re all going to die, I think”(146). • End-”Coverage continues from the courtyard behind the apartment where we took shelter. Peacekeepers line the room across from our former hideout. Shells are launched into a row of apartments, setting off the chain of explosions we heard, and the building collapses into rubble and dust”(288).
Genre • Beginning-”’Oh’, I let out involuntarily at the sight of the fleet. Row after row of different kinds of hovercraft”(80). • Middle-”Our hoverplanes are initially ignored by the commanders in the Nut, because in the past they’ve been little more trouble than flies buzzing around a honeypot. But after two rounds of bombings in the higher elevations of the mountain, the planes have their attention”(207). • End-”They are white, four-limbed, about the size of a full grown human, but that’s where the comparisons stop. Naked, with long reptilian tails, arched backs, and heads that jut forward”(309).
