Final Blogging Assessment in English 1B


   The book I am reading is, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins the third book in the epic series The Hunger Games. The best line in Chapter 15 of Mockingjay is when Katniss says, "But then...I'm also a girl from District 12. Not President Snow"(Collins 262).
   I think this is the best line because the whole book is about how she is rebelling and cant be stopped and then the author puts this line in the book about the complete opposite thing.This line helps develop the plot by kind of changing Katnisses mood from being invincible to being just a poor girl from District 12 that cant do anything. Also this develops the plot by another character stepping up to be more of a leader and that is Gale. Gale is probably one of my favorite characters in the series so this move by him to be more of a leader I think will make me be more interested in the book. This line also shows how much power that President Snow has and how much control he has over the Districts. I dont really like President Snow because he has the most power and I usually dont like characters like that. To wrap this blog post up I would like to just summarize what this line meant for the book, it shows a shift in power from Katniss to Gale. Also this sentence shows how Katniss is getting weaker and President Snow is getting stronger.
