Mockingjay, pgs 158-78

Many things happened in this short section of Mockingjay. After the Captiol finished with the bombings of District 13, Katniss and many other people leave the bunker deep under the ground to assess the damages that occurred. They also went to the surface to tape propaganda to show the repels the effects of the Captiol. As they begin to tape footage Katniss becomes very emotional and unable to speak. During this Katniss was put under sedation to calm herself down. When Katniss wakes up from the sedation she finds out that her dear friend, Gale, and many other people left on a rescue mission.

The goal of the rescue mission was to save someone that Katniss loves, Peeta. They also went to save a couple more people that the Capitol was holding captive. To help with the rescue mission Katniss and another man named Finnick create a commercial to intend to distract the people in the Capitol while the rescue mission takes place. Katniss and Finnick wait in anxiousness to find out if the rescue mission was a success. All of a sudden Haymitch runs in and lets the two of them know that they had returned and the mission was accomplished. In excitement Katniss runs to find Peeta but something unexpected happens when they see each other. Peeta begins to choke Katniss.

I was very surprised that this happened because it came out of now where that Peeta started to choke Katniss. He must be mad at the torture he was put through by the Capitol and thinks that part of this was because of Katniss. It could also be that the Captiol had changed Peeta somehow and now he is not the same person. Peeta during the Hunger Games had an affection for Katniss and would nothing to hurt her. I am very interested to see what will happen next in the book and what is wrong with Peeta.
