Diary of Katniss Everdeen
Entry #1 My name is Katniss Everdeen and I am the mockingjay. I was chosen for the 74th and 75th Annual Hunger Games and I ended it all. Prim is dead, mom and gale went to the help people. I killed snow and ended the corrupt government with a new generation of freedom and hope. I see a therapist twice a week and she told me it would help to write this diary but I don’t understand how remembering the gruesome past will help me. Everyone is adapting and trying to get past the social pyramid we once had and come together as one. I am with Peeta now with no cameras and just genuine feelings for him in our new home.
Entry #2 I can’t believe i'm actually still writing in this diary. I have decided to start hunting again after I had another nightmare of the Hunger Games of the gorey details when Prim died, when Rue died, of the bloody war and mutants the capital created. Hunting gave that escape that it used to it calmed me down and it was peaceful I hope I can do it again.
Entry #3 When I woke up today there was sounds of many news reporters and cameras. I knew I couldn’t live a normal life after what had happened anymore so I got ready and me and Peeta walked out the door. They swarmed us with questions like “Hows the star crossed lovers doing after the end of snow?” We just did what we always do and say how we’re doing good and how we hope everyone else is doing good. When they finally left I went hunting and killed some birds and ate them for dinner.
Entry #4 I saw my therapist today and talked about how the diary is actually helping me release my feelings and get over the past. The past still haunts me and i’m still living in fear every night but Peeta comforts me and we are getting over it slowly. I am living day and day but hunting is helping me become normal but I don’t think I will ever be normal.
Entry #5 Today in the news District 1 had come out and started coming together with

    “Today is hunting day. After breakfast we shall go hunting for rabbits.” The hunter stared down at the rifle with such love and compassion that he had forgotten all about everything that happened half a decade ago and rather reminisced about the memories held within the general idea of hunting. Those memories where he and his father would travel to a local forest where they’d hunt and bond. There would be those rare occasions where he would actually shoot the animal down and he and his family would sit down at the table and have dinner like a normal…

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

    Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” explains the ways in which individuals are limited and trapped by the assumptions of others. In the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” Tom Robison, Scout, Jem, Boo Raddley are all individuals that are limited or confined, due to the difference in their looks others assume they are different. Individuals are labelled by others in their society by how they are different from the “in” crowd. They are not considered equal to everyone else due to who they are and what they look like. These differences make others assume that they are inferior to them, so that they don’t quite fit in with society.…

    Here, Atticus educates his children as to the true meaning of heroism. Mrs. Dubose was a rather cranky and offensive old woman who lived nearby. She spoke out harshly against Atticus, and in a fit of rage, Jem attacked her flower bed. As punishment, he had to read to her every day after school. Unknowingly, Jem was helping the woman overcome her morphine addiction. Atticus reveals this to his children after the woman has passed, and lets them evaluate the situation for themselves. Atticus treats his children as adults and shows them the meaning of true courage. The last two lines in the passage serve as an analogy to the Tom Robinson case and show that Atticus knows he will not win, but must try his best in his search for justice.…

    In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, numerous symbols and themes are present throughout the novel. Through the good and evil in a town such as Maycomb, nobility and courageous were not the easiest attributes to fulfill; however, for Atticus, Jem and Scout, these traits came quite easily with time. As Ambrose Redmoon had said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.” That quote directly relates to To Kill a Mockingbird and the Finch family in that the fear of standing up against Maycomb’s abundant racism and unfortunate prejudice is nothing compared to the rewarding courage one feels when standing up to it.…

    Mockingbirds are birds that does one thing; Making music for us to enjoy and nothing else to harm us. In the remarkable novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the mockingbird is used as symbolism for real people. Including the human mockingbirds, the novel represents other pieces of the prejudice such as racism and hypocrisy. In the little town of Maycomb in its 1930¡¯s, the prejudice was an accepted concept for every individual and Atticus even called it a ¡®disease¡¯ of the town. This time-honored perception, prejudice, was very distinctly shown in the novel from its characters and the society. Prejudice does not seem like a such a big deal in the novel as it actually is now…

    To Kill a Mockingbird

    The title of To Kill a Mockingbird has very little literal connection to the plot, but it carries a great deal of symbolic weight in the book. In this story of innocents destroyed by evil, the “mockingbird” comes to represent the idea of innocence. Thus, to kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence. Throughout the book, a number of characters including Jem, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley can be identified as mockingbirds – innocents that have been injured or destroyed through contact with evil. This connection between the novel’s title and its main theme is made explicit several times in the novel .After Tom Robinson is shot, Mr. Underwood compares his death to “the senseless slaughter of songbirds”( Lee 3897), and at the end of the book Scout thinks that hurting Boo Radley would be like “shootin’ a mockingbird” ( 4483). This shows the vulnerability of innocents in the racist and judging world of Maycomb which often treats the fragile innocence of ‘mockingbirds’ harshly. As the book progresses it becomes clear that innocence is a nature held by those who have not been exposed to immorality. Tom Robinson, Jem and Boo Radley represent “mocking” whose innocence is eventually damaged by witnessing Maycomb’s evil ways.…

    I wrote as soon as I heard. Please Billy, don't fret about my past, that is the reason I write to you. I hear of all these stories but I only wish to hear from you. You speak of the birds, Billy, describe their color and size. Tell me how it feels to have them perform a concert just for you. Tell me of the feeling of the wind on your skin. Tell me of the secrets that the wind carries as it brushes along you neck. Tell me of the wonder of the ocean and how its allure compels you to selfishly bring home some of the sand in your shoes in the hope that one day the whole ocean will be in your backyard. Billy, all of the questions which I have neglected to asks these men I simply must ask you. And most importantly, I must ask you about what lies…
