MY FAVORITE REBELLION QUOTES FROM MOCKINGJAY

At first, I thought Hunger Games was about people fighting and killing for food. After reading the book, it became clear to me that the story was about hunger, not exactly for food, but for Justice. After years of oppression, the people from the districts of Panem are inspired to join the revolution for change against the Capitol with Katniss Everdeen as the symbol and face of the rebellion or as described by the book as the “rebels’ mockingjay”.

Below are my favorite quotes on rebellion from Mockingjay, the Final Book of the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, which are actually tactics in staging a successful rebellion:

1.     “People of Panem, we fight, we dare, we end our hunger for Justice.”

2.    “Give us a martyr to fight for.”

3.    “Boggs is right. It’s the sight of me, alive, that is the inspiration.”

4.     “Our goal is to take over the districts one by one, ending with District Two, thus cutting off the Capitol’s supply chain. Then once it’s weakened, we invade the Capitol itself.”

5.    “The idea being that we could target each district with a personal piece.”

6.    “Crazy Cat becomes a metaphor for my situation. I am Buttercup. Peeta, the thing I want so badly to secure, is the light. As long as Buttercup feels he has the chance of catching the elusive light under his paws, he’s bristling with aggression.”

7.    “Poison. The perfect weapon for a snake.”

8.    “You don’t destroy what you want to acquire in the future.”

9.    “Eyes on the forest, not on the trees”

10.   “They’ll either want to kill you, kiss you, or be you.”

11.   “You’re playing on their natural instincts to flee danger. Thinking like your prey...that’s where you find their vulnerabilities.”

12.  “Fire is catching! If we burn, you burn with us!”
