Reading response: Mocking Jay Symbolism

As I completed Mocking jay, the last book in the Hunger Games Trilogy, I saw Foreshadowing, Flashbacks, and a whole lot of suspense. Although nothing made "Mocking Jay" set its self apart from the other two books in this series more than Symbolism between Katniss, and the Mocking jay. I knew the Mocking jay is relevant to Katniss prior to this book because of the refrenses to it, and obviously the title, "Mocking Jay" I feel like in completing the whole series i can confidently say that Katniss is portrayed as a Mocking jay-like Character.

With that being said there always needs to be evidence, right? So for those of you that don;'t know, a Mocking jay is a Hybrid bird that comes from the Jabberjay, a bird that over hears news and conversation and reports it to the Capital, and a Mockingbird (Hence the name Mocking jay). Katniss and the Mocking Jay are symbolically one because the Mocking Jay over time lost its ability to repeat words, but it has never had a voice of its own. With that being said, Katniss throughout her road to winning the hunger games in the first book, to her fame in "Mocking Jay" Katniss always had someone telling her what to say and what to wear meaning she never had her own voice. Like how people tell the Mocking Jay what to say.
