Mocking Jay (The Best Thing About The Book)

In the book Mocking Jay I can make a text to world connection because district 12 is kind of like Africa because both are poor and in need of something. Also the United States is like district 1 or 2 because they are on the top with the most money.  In the book I am reading there is a character Katniss who is hated because of being the spark of revolution. A text to text connection is that in the Harry Potter series Harry is disliked by many people because he is the chosen one in the book just like Katniss in Mocking Jay. A text to self-connection is that Katniss has to face her own fears along her way in the books. This can be connected to myself in the book because I also have to face my own fears in life like trying new things or say doing a flip that I have never attempted before. These both connect in very similar ways and are demonstrated long term throughout each of their different scenarios

Mocking Jay (setting)

In the book the time the setting taking place at is in the future because of the hover crafts and high advanced technology they have in the book. I have read the first and second book and they both illustrate this same time. In the book I have found out that katniss is in the middle of the hunger games which are taking place in an arena designed to be a dangerous jungle that is operated and controlled by the game maker’s in the capitol. Katniss also finds out that most of tributes in the hunger Games were all working together to help keep her alive. The book takes place in a place where there are twelve districts that are in poverty and there is a capitol that has all the power that forces people form the districts to fight in the death. This is the same for both the other two books. Currently in the book Katniss has been taken out of the games by a hover craft with her and Haymitch and others that tell her when she wakes up about a plan they set up in the last book. Katniss is told the districts are on the edge of rebelling and that the districts are out of hand ad there is many forces being used to control the riots. The districts are filled with hope and the smell of fear from the capitol.

Farenheit 451

In the book I found out that the society is different from the one in the past which would be considered agrees. I found out that the fire fighters in this book instead of putting out fires catch book on fire and make them. This ties into how the society is controlled in the book. I don’t know much about who is running the people but I know that they don’t want them to read books for a reason. In the book protagonist guy Montag starts to figure out that he is not happy with himself and starts to question why he has to burn books. He begins to question the burning of books when Clarisse ask him if he is happy. Clarisse in the story I found out is a strange girl compared to everyone else. She has different thoughts on the earth and feels that the way people live now is not right. Later in the reading Clarisse is told to be dead from being hit by a car.  Mildred Guy Montage wife is found almost dead overdosing on her sleep medicine when Montag gets home from meeting Clarisse. I think that this book connects a little bit with the hunger games because there society is also run in a deranged way where people are forced to compete in killing games and that everyone is in poverty because of a war that was in the pass from a rebellion. The people in the hunger games can connect to how the people in Fahrenheit feel because they really don’t have a says much in the society and do whatever the rulers want them to just like the capitol is in the Hunger Games. Really both books have both not the right society and there are protagonist in the books that are trying to fix it and make it right.
