Mockingjay, pgs 347-372

So i was wrong when it came to my prediction. The second round of bombs that went off and killed the children burnt Katniss extremely bad and she had to be taken to the hospital. While she was in the hospital getting treated for her burns, the rebels were able to take over the Capitol and President Snow surrendered. For days after this Katniss kept to herself and the explored the presidents mansion where she was staying. While walking around one day she ran into some guards guarding a door.

At first they would not let her in but eventually somebody else told the guards to let her in. She entered into a greenhouse where roses were being grown and also where President Snow was being help prisoner. When they were talking to each other he revealed that he did not order the killing of the Capitol children and that it was actually the rebel leaders who ordered this. They did it to quickly end the war and this made Katniss furious since those bombs killed her sister. She complicated with what Snow had told her and she was not sure to believe him. Eventually Snow was to be put to death and Katniss was going to kill him in front a crowd of people in the Capitol. At the very end of this section a surprise occured when instead of Katniss killing Snow, she shot and killed Coin who was the leader of the rebels and the new president of the Capitol.

I was shocked that Katniss killed Coin. She never really like Coin but I was not expecting her to do that. Maybe a good reason for it is that Katniss believed in Snow and that Coin was actually responsible for the death of her sister. I do not think that Katniss will be put to her death for her actions but she will most likely be punished.
