Ali So first here is my rant on the ending. Finnick and Prim just dies for the sake of death. I loved those characters and I think they should of had happy endings. Peeta and Katniss should not have ended up together. Gale would have never left Katniss and go to District 2. Katniss didn't even end up choosing anyone, she was just left with Peeta so that's who she married. Peeta was always just the guy she came to love, but as a really good friend. Katniss and Gale were always supposed to end up together, she even said it in one of the other books. Katniss would have not voted for another Hunger Games because she knew how terrible those were and the Capital kids never did anything. The ending was way too rushed and it made no sense!!!


Christa Farris I think Gale should've stayed in district 12. I was really mad when he left

WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE


message 11: by itsmenokey (new) - added it

itsmenokey Have you guys watched the movie? The mockingjay part 2

P.S. I haven't, so I am clueless here. Is the movie has the same ending as in book? Anyone


Christie I haven't seen the latest movie yet, but with regards to the book, I was confused about the ending. As Ali said, the thigns that happened kind of go against everything Katniss stands for and everything we had come to expect based on how the rest of the series was written.

Of course, that could be the point. There was so much of the ending that went totally against what I expected or wanted to happen that I wonder if the decision to end it like that was part of the story's themes. It's almost as if to say war doesn't have a happy ending, even if you win. Even the closest people change and are scarred forever. People who deserve to live, die. Decisions that people would have abhorred before the war and death and horrible experiences are now considered acceptable. When I look at this from an analytical perspective, this message sticks out really clearly. It's meant to be jarring and shocking and leave the reader with a bad after-taste, so to speak.

That's my idea anyway. It's the only way I can think of to explain why the ending chapters are so different and unexpected than the rest of the story.

I've seen other threads that analyze certain words and gestures on Katniss' part, and take that to mean something else, but I'm not inclined to believe that because you have to think really deeply to get there--deeper than your regular casual reader does, and that's who the main audience is. Feel free to disagree with me; I'd like to know other thoughts on this or if people feel the same way.

itsmenokey woah, thank you Christie.
I finished mockingjay months ago and yeah the ending seem like it was following the movie 's flow. Let's just wait movie's released.


message 14: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali Btw this discussion is only on the ending of the book. The movie part 2 isn't in the theaters yet.


message 15: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali I totally agree with you Christie. The ending of the book was rushed and changed the book for me. Also, don't come to this discussion if you haven't read the ending yet. Sorry about the spoilers but this chat was about the ending...

WHY ARE YOU HERE IF YOU HAVE"NT FINISHED YET??
IT'S LITERALLY ABOUT THE ENDING OF THE BOOK!!


Christa Farris I think that some of the deaths in the book happen for a reason and that it helped deepen the meaning of the story and the message that no matter what life moves on.
Does anyone else agree or disagree?


Aaron Chu-Carroll Well it is true...
Almost all the major/important characters died, Peeta, Gale, and Katniss were obviously the main characters and you don't kill your main character, but everybody else died, she just wanted a dramatic ending and everybody was waiting for the last book to come out, so she decided to rush and let everybody die, except a few characters who have "happy" endings and literally live on with their lives happily every after with no post-traumatic stress disorder and not even upset that everybody else they care about died.

I have not watched mockingjay part 1 or part 2 part 2 vomes out 20th of november


message 20: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali I think that Peeta or Gale should have died (preferably Peeta) and Katniss should've ended up with either Gale or neither of them.


Aaron Chu-Carroll The book was the worst of the series, it was awful, catching fire was the best


Christa Farris WHAT NO GALE SHOULD'VE DIED


Aaron Chu-Carroll No, neither of them die, and everybody lives happily ever after with a statue of president snow with an arrow in his heart.

THE END


message 24: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali It was definitely the worst in the series. I actually might say that the Hunger Games was the best since it started everything else. Catching Fire had a slow start but the Quarter Quell is extremely exciting.


message 25: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali I wouldn't have wanted Gale to die but I think one of them needed to make the ending more realistic.


message 26: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali Peeta ruined the whole book


Aaron Chu-Carroll NO SNOW RUINED THE BOOK,




HE KILLED EVERYBODY


message 28: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali Gale should have ended up with Katniss. Peeta completely ruined that. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD!


Christa Farris Gale ruined it because he blows up Prim, then leaves Katniss alone in district twelve with no one except for Peeta


message 30: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali And why was Gale acting so mean in Mockingjay? His character completely changed!


Christa Farris GALE SHOULD HAVE DIED


Christa Farris HE WAS HORRIBLE


message 33: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali Yes but that was so not Gale. He would never do that.


message 34: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


Christa Farris He became a mean person because he was jealous of Katniss and Peeta's relationship and he was so obsessed with winning the war that he only thought about himself


Christa Farris He did it though


message 37: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali No that was so not Gale


Christa Farris It was him because he changed and that became who he was


message 39: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali Maybe this new Gale should have died but old Gale should have been with Katniss.


Christa Farris I agree but even if old Gale stayed I think Peeta should have still ended up with Katniss


Aaron Chu-Carroll How about this:
Katniss and Gale get together, Peeta and still-alive Prim get together. Katniss' still-alive family live together, Finnick lives happily ever after alone the way he wants to, still-alive nuts and bolts live together, and President Snow dead.


message 42: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali But Peeta wasn't meant for Katniss!!!!!


message 43: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali Finnick was married to Annie!!!


message 44: by Ali (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ali And Peeta and Prim would have been so good together!


Aaron Chu-Carroll Oh right, Finnick and Annie.


Aaron Chu-Carroll I know I'm a freakin genius
