Mockingjay, pgs 178-245

In this section of Mockingjay, it is revealed that Peeta had been changed by the Capitol to have different memories from his past. That explains the reason that Peeta started to choke Katniss. This really hurt Katniss and as a way to get away from it she went to District 2 to fight. District 2 was the only district that had not been won by the rebels and the Capitol still had control over. District 2 is very important for the Capitol because they provide military supplies and soldiers for them. The main reason that they are unable to take this district over is because most of the people and equipment are kept in a practically impenetrable mountain that had been carved out.

Gale, a close friend of Katniss, came up with the idea to cause an avalanche that would close all of the entrances to the mountain. They went with this plan but decided to leave the train tunnel that leads into the mountain open so that people could escape and could be eventually captured. The plan works as it was suppose to and sometime later people are able to escape the mountain via the train. They come armed with weapons and in the fighting Katniss gets shot on her side. She eventually wakes up in a hospital in District 13 where she is in pain from a ruptured spleen but luckily her protective gear stopped the bullet.

Now that the rebels have control of all of the districts, the rebels begin to plan to take over the Capitol. Katniss finds out that she will not be allowed to go to the Capitol to fight considering she has not had enough training and is still recovering from her injury. She is furious about this considering she wants to fight and be there when the Capitol falls. She is given the opportunity to fight in the Capitol if she goes through the training and is able to pass a field exam. The next couple weeks she dedicates herself to training and in the end is able to pass the test and will be allowed to go into the Captiol.

I think that Katniss is very brave the way that she always puts herself into fighting and she seems to have unlimited courage. I do not believe that I would be able to put myself in those situations. I think that the rest of this book will be extremely entertaining with lots of fighting. Katniss will be able to take her revenge on the Captiol for all the horrible things that they put Katniss through. I think that it is sad that Peeta has been changed. He is not the same person anymore and it would be horrible for his friends, like Katniss, to see your friend who acts almost completely different.
