SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!
Last time I left off saying something like this, Katniss will have to keep going to ensure the human race doesn't die out and will have to kill the tyrants of the Capitol. (SPOILER ALERT STARTING NOW) now imagine the tyrants of the Capitol weren't so bad. The side that's actually fighting for freedom against the Capitol is bad, well just the leader anyway. That is what happens when Katniss' team gets almost eliminated and only Gale and Peeta (who is now very dangerous to the team because the Capitol hijacks his brain and gives him false thoughts of Katniss which makes him want to kill Katniss) are left. They rest of the team got killed by pods or eaten by mutts. Katniss and Gale lose Peeta when the rebels successfully penetrate the Capitol lamost to Snow's mansion. Then halfway through Gale gets captured by Peacekeepers and Katniss has to go by herself to assasinate Snow. When she reaches the mansion it's surrounded by kids and planes with the Capitol emblem on them drop silver parachutes. When the kids get them they explode and then the rebel medic team comes and there's a second explosion which kills Katniss' sister, Prim. Snow then gets captured and when Katniss finally meets him Snow says it wasn't him who dropped those bombs. Then when the time for the execution comes Katniss kills Coin instead of Snow because she was really the one who dropped the bombs on the kids.
First of all I was REALLY SHOCKED to read this. The rebels were the good guys so why the hell would they drop bombs on the Capitol kids. It says in the book Coin wanted to bring a quick end to the war but that is not the way to do it!!! This just kind of shows that no matter how good a person you think is they're still EVIL when it comes to war time. Coin thought Katniss was a threat and she was so right! Basically because of that incident the rebels make the Capitol look like the good guys. Katniss has almost lost everything that meant so much to her in her life. But even then she put away her problems and killed the REAL TYRANT. If I would of lost so much like her, I would just be a deep black hole full of despair and sorrowness. Katniss is really strong and she proves it again and again.

Everything Is On Fire and You Have To Fight To The Death Again
In the book the Hunger Games Katniss had to take place in the Hunger Games instead of her sister Prim. She survived and returned. Then in Catching Fire she had to go back and fight to the death again. Instead of it ending the way it did in the Hunger Games she broke free and escaped the arena. She had help from the rebels of District 13 and was brought their to safety. Katniss was shocked because she never really thought District 13 existed and to see how far District 13 was even more surprising. Her home District 12 was destroyed but Gale, her friend that she can trust with anything, managed to keep some of the population of 12 alive and brought safely to 13.
Now Katniss agreed to becoming the Mockingjay, a symbol of hope to the rebels. Shortly after that she was sent to District 8 to come up with a powerful line. District 8 was recently bombed by the Capitol and there were many wounded and killed. They were being kept in a worn-out warehouse as a hospital. As soon as Katniss entered she brought everyone hope. But soon another bombing happened by the Capitol and everybody in the hospital died but Katniss and her bodyguards were outside and were taking down the planes. That was when she said "And if we burn you burn with us!"
If I were to fight to my death over and over again I would seroiusly lose hope. If I were to feel the pain that Katniss feels over and over again I would be ready to die, I should be dead. But Katniss isn't like that, she's a strong person who has been piled up with responsibilities ever since her dad died, to keep her family going. Now she has to keep going to ensure the human existence will go on and the tyrants of the Capitol will fall down.

Demonata: BEC
Something that I notice in my independent reading book is that there is a lot of sacrifice. This idea happens throughout all the Demonata series. The main character always has to sacrifice somthing to gain something. Even though in a way it's kind of cruel I think it's an element that this type of book needs, since it's a horror type of genre book. If it didn't have that element the book woudn't be as good. Another thing is that it makes me wonder how would the book be if it didn't have sacrifice in it. It might have been a better book.
