Mockingjay movie review.

Calling all tributes and mockingjays!.
This week in honour of Mockingjay coming out last week on friday I will be sharing  my review of MockingJay part one with you!.

Last week on opening night I went with a group of friends to see Mockingjay part one, before it even came out I would see trailers on the TV and each time i would get chills and I have to say part one defiently gave me chills throughout the movie!. Jennifer Lawrense who plays our heroine Katniss Everdeen was amazing, she was able convay Katniss's PTSD perfectly as well as her current state of mind. In the movie we were able to see how the games affected Katniess as well as loosing Peeta to the captial. We were able to see her deep love for her sister Prim, her love for her best friend Gale as well as Finnick and her mother. As the movie progressed we were able to see the other distacts uprising againest the captial and the captials reaction. Thoughout the movie I was always on the edge of my seat and I even shed a few tears.The movie stayed true to the book and even allowed us to see things that weren't in the book like Peeta, Joanna and Annie's rescue which was amazing!. I was really impressed with the animations as well as the use of the green screen. What impressed me the most was Jennifer's acting as well as Cinna's mockingjay suit for Katniss. The mockingjay suit was just like I had imagined it when I first read MockingJay.
In the end Mockingjay was amazing and I wish I could see it over and over because I just loved it so much!. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes Divergent, The Maze Runner, Delirum, City Of Bones.

The Girl on fire grew her wings.






In 




honour of mockingjay part one coming out this Friday I will be doing a review of the book. This book belongs to the hunger games fandom. This fandom revolves around Katniss Everdeen a 16 year old girl who volunteeres to take her sister Prim's place in the 74th Hunger Games. In the last two books Katniss along with Peeta are forced to go to the arena and compete  with the other tributes from the twelve districts that make up Panam. People who are fans of this fandom refer to themsevles as tributes or rebels. I am a part of this Fandom even though I am not a active member. Honestly when i first read this series I had no idea what i was getting myself into i would talk about the book to my friends and even strangers because i loved it so much and i still do.

 In the book Mockingjay Katniss along with Finnick and Beetee are recused from the arena in the book Catching Fire and are adjusting to their new lives in the newly but secretly found distract 13. Katniss is getting use to her new but unwanted role as their mockingjay and also dealing with PTSD from the past two games,Peeta becoming hijacked by the capital and rising feelings for her best friend Gale.

I can't lie i have read this book more than once and each time I have read this book i have fallen more in love with some of the charcters like Finnick, Peeta , Katniss, Annie and Haymitch. When I first read this book i have to say I whipped through it because i just had to find out what would happen to our beloved Mockingjay. While reading it for the first time it kept me on my toes and it made me feel 3 emotions that would include anger,sadness and happiness it also made me want to throw the book at one point because it made me angry and that was the best part, I find that i enjoy books better if they make me either want to dance from happiness or throw it on the floor and this book did both.

When reading it for the second time i started to realize that the theme of the books was related to the holocast because people are killed every year because of a rebellion that happend many years ago and during the holocast jews were sentacted to death or to work where they eventually died and this happend in the books even though it wasn't to the same degree as the holocast was. Presidant Snow was basically created to repersent Hitler and the things he had done. So in conclusion i really enjoyed reading mockingjay even though i found the ending just fizzeld out.
