Some quotes I liked from finishing Mockingjay a while ago:
“The damage, the fatigue, the imperfections. That’s how they recognize me, why I belong to them.” -pg. 90
“Such a young man when he rose to power. Such a clever one to keep it.” -Finnick Odair pg. 171
“For someone to make Peeta forget he loves me… no one could do that.” -pg. 181
“A thousand moments surge through me. All the times these arms were my only refuge from the world.” -pg. 338
“If the [law] were written into law by men, certainly it can be unwritten.” - Beetee, Catching Fire film
He should tell US Congress.
Johanna, covered head to toe in blood not a discernible feature in sight: *screaming curse words at the top of her lungs*
Finnick, just by hearing the screaming: omg yall it’s my bestie🥺😌🫶🏻🏃💨
"You could live a hundred lifetimes and never deserve that boy." ~Me, to Suren, about Oak
"Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping. The arrogance of those bold words. You can take several things from me- my ma, my brother, my love- that are the only things worth keeping."
"I know one thing, though: The Capitol can never take Lenore Dove from me again. They never really did in the first place. Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping, and she is the most precious thing I've ever known."
Cinna in HG
I was surprised by how much I adored Cinna while re-reading HG. I want to know his story. Why did he request to work with the District 12 tribute for his first year as a stylist?
I loved how much he cared about Katniss. How much effort he put into comforting her and how aware he was of the horror of the hunger games system, unlike the rest of the prep team.
In his first conversation with her, he sees the way she looks at the food - mentally calculating how replicating it (poorly) would cost at least a week's worth of work if not more.
"How despicable we must seem to you," he says.
He's the reason Katniss (and Peeta) made such a splash during the opening ceremony. He made them memorable before the country knew anything about them but their names and Katniss taking her sister's place.
Katniss, the girl who was on fire.
Cinna is also the one who suggested they hold hands when they ride in the chariots - it's the most obvious difference between them and the other tributes and sets them apart, besides their costumes - they're a team, not enemies.
"Whose idea was the hand holding?" asks Haymitch.
"Cinna's," says Portia.
"Just the perfect touch of rebellion," says Haymitch. "Very nice."
At the end of the book, Cinna (like Haymitch) is very aware of the danger Katniss and Peeta are in, and does his best to help them. Through out the book, you can see how appearances are deceiving but they can also be used to benefit the oppressed. After the games, it's for survival. Cinna dressed Katniss so she looks innocent, harmless, and younger than she is. It doesn't matter that the country watched her kill others and fight fiercely for survival. Though Cinna brushes off the clothing choice as accommodating Peeta's preferences, Katniss hears the warning underneath and Haymitch clarifies it for her - the Capitol is furious she circumvented the rules.
It's like she says when she's about to reunite with Peeta for the victory ceremony - the most dangerous part of the Hunger Games is about to begin.
YALL!!!
“ on the second day, while we we’re taking a shot at spear throwing, he whispers to me. 'I think we have a shadow.’ I throw my spear, which I’m not too bad I actually, if I don’t have to throw too far, and see the little girl from district 11, standing back a bit, watching us.”
You guys got to be fucking with me rn. You mean to tell me that the first time that Katniss really acknowledges Rue in person, as in like her presence, they are throwing SPEARS?!!
S P E A R S!!!
Suzanne Collins, the writer that you are, I’m going to need a 50 page apology letter, please, I am in pain.
