Mockingjay=freedom! and a smack in the face to the capitol...

That their are things even the Capitol can't cont..."I think the watch was also to show Katniss that Plutarch was on her side...kinda like the gold bangle Finnick showed her to prove to her he was a good ally.
Mod
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Mod
Yes, I like when authors do that. I also liked how she was like, "Befriend Finnick, get food."
To the Districts, it means several things, such as rebellion, hope, freedom, beauty, and unity. To the Capitol, it means revenge from the Districts. I think Plutarch used his watch o tell Katniss how the arena is set up and that he is trying to stop the Hunger Games and Snow.

i think the significance of the mockingjay is that the bird kind of mocked the capitol. they didnt expect for the species to be created. the capitol believed that the jabberjays would die off, but they didnt. which kind of relates to katniss.

that is very cool. i wonder if collins did that on purpose
Mod
ha. yeah
Mockingjay sounds better than crowjay or cardijay, too. That might've been a factor.

Yeah, Mockingjay has a good ring to it.
Mod
We all do :) Over Crowjay, anyway.
I'd say its simple enough really.The History of it is that the rebels fed lies to the Jabberjays so the Capitol abandoned them. The Mockinjay is just a more subtle way of hinting. Where as using a Jabberjay would've been a real explosion in the face and they would've killed her for wearing that symbol in the first one.

Angel says thanks for the hello. I do too.
