Mocking Jay 12/1/14

Pages 54-154
Prompt: Describe what was either believable or unbelievable about your reading.
Defend your opinion



       Something that is believable in the Mocking Jay book is that people want a revolution to happen because it has happened before in the past like when the 13 colonies fought the revolutionary war. Another thing that is believable is that a area would be bombed this has happened before an example of this is many years ago when a city in Russia was nuked and now no can lived their for many years. While something that is not believable is that someone would put in an arena to kill other with futurist weapons so the government does not fall apart because the government relays more on document the death. Another thing that is believable that they people that are in the war will do what they need to get allies.




       I believe that the revolution in the book is the same as the American Revolution. I piece of evidence is that there are 13 district and in the American Revolution there were 13 colonies which is one similarities. Another similarity is that there is one government that separates itself that is much richer than the rest.  Also this government does something that pushes the colonist/district over the edge to wanting to be free. This smaller group of people want a revolution to happen but at first they don't all get along but eventually they start to join together.  Both government want to start a republic so that decision are equal and fair.



     The major conflict is that President Snow is being oppressive to the district and district 13 is trying to start a revolution so that they can be free. I am on district 13 sides because they are fighting for a good cause so that they can be free. Another reason that I am on district 13's side is because they helped district 12 when they were bombed so that they could have a home. A reason that also persuades me to district 13 side because President Snow captured victors from the games and tortured them.  The final reason that I am on district 13' sides is because the capital send kids to kill each other.
