How would you feel if your entire was turned upside down and one of the two people you could trust couldn't be trusted anymore? Well, this is what happened to Katniss. Living in 13 is difficult. Everyone looks to her as the "mockingjay" a symbol of the rebellion. The president of 13 has a secret agenda, trying to use Katniss as little as possible, but that's not how Katniss wants it. They want to air promos of the rebellion just like the Capitol did. I personally don't like this because it shows the numerous similarities of the Capitol to the resistance. The only noticable difference is the treatment of the Districts, but even that is iffy. Katniss also has the issue of chosing a man, and when Peeta is captured by the Capitol after the Games, it seems that the decision is simple, but hold the phones. Peeta is recaptured, only this time by the rebels, but is severly unstable. The Capitol had performed various experiments and tortures to his mind and body, including injecting tracker jacker venom, causing him to turn on Katniss. He even tries to kill her when they first see each other again. What I don't understand is what comes next, though. They allow him to train with the army, with weapons! I personally think that President Coin, the leader of 13 intended or hoped that Peeta would surely kill Katniss, still using her though as the symbol of the resistance from the grave. Kinda twisted.
