Describe how the Different cahracters deal with the main conflict in the novel. Mokingjay


 

A main conflict in Mockingjay is person vs. person. Katniss, who is the protagonist in this story, wants to get revenge on President Snow, who is the antagonist, for all he has done. He invented the Hunger Games as an annual reminder that tells the Districts of Panem never to rebel and to remember that the Capitol has total control over all of the Districts. Katniss thinks that the Hunger Games are unjust because it involves picking innocent 12-to-18-year-olds to fight to the death in an arena. He also threatens to kill Katniss's friends and family if she ever took action to rebel again, or didn't marry Peeta in the Capitol (but she never even tried to rebel the first time!). also he set up a wall of children in front of his house so Katniss would have to kill them to get inside, which she would never do. Prim, Katniss's sister, was helping the sick and wounded kids in that wall. In attempt to get access to Snow, Coin bombed his house so they could get in. Sadly, the bombs killed the wall of innocent Capitol children and Prim. This motivates Katniss even more to kill Snow.

  1. I really enjoyed the use of adjectives in this piece. The way you described the conflict really made me interested in re-reading the book!
