Mockingjay question

note: it's the first time i join a discussion for the hunger games since i've read the hunger games so i don't know who said anything anywhere :)

personally i thought the ending was superb, the main reason why i gave Mockingjay it's 5 stars was bec of that ending. It's a dystopian novel, there is nothing in that future that can end more happily than it did, she got married to someone who appreciates her, she got kids that she could finally not be scared to lose for something as brutal as the hunger games, she was sort of, relative to the sense of all the series, safe. They seemed, as a community, to have gone a long way from oppression, hunger games and ignorance to being free people...
i loved the message of the book, it shows humanity in one of its ugliest forms, that the ones who wanted a revolution aren't as innocent as the oppressed civilians thought they were, Coin only wanted power, and plutarch's words "We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self destruction." , gale's transformation into this brutal person as a result of all the suffering, katniss's words 'Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children's lives to settle its differences. You can spin it any way you like... But in the end, who does it benefit? No one. The truth is, it benefits no one to live in a world where these things happen'

i just think the book is more complex than to deserve a 10 years or older rating, and that's why i love it.

I honestly dont see any other way for her to finish the series. I thought it ended perfectly.

I really don't think the end of it was *supposed* to be "fun." It was realistic and fit with the story, which meant it was going to be depressing. I don't think it was supposed to be all "and they all lived happily ever after!" It was supposed to be raw and real, just like the rest of the series.

I guess hard reality is all it is. It was a war, and people die in those so..

Well I'm not sure what message was trying to be sent...But I think that Everyone is disappointed in how Suzanne Collins ended the series. Bad ending to a great beginning

I think the 'depresing world' is just like that because the messages she wanted to transmite. I loved how she went throw the hunger games for Prim. I think with that she wanted to show the importance of family. It shows how we are, every aspect of the book does. What does killing people mean. Why live, or why not. Katniss thinks that a lot. Giving life for others.
What can we do for revenge. I thought so went they wanted to make another hunger games for the capitol's children, after all they suffered in there.

Something that really surprised me was the reality show topic. People watched from the other side of the tv and they saw it as entertainment, they chose they favourites and all that stuff but, the tributes were dying and they enjoyed that? Realites (some of them)can be rude and we see them just as 'games'

And also what are we doing to our world.
