    Is Rebellion Good?

    In “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay”, a Science Fiction and Adventure novel by


    Suzanne Collins, Katniss Everdeen, a 17-year-old girl, has survived The Hunger Games
    twice, which is an event done once a year, where boys and girls from twelve districts
    fight to death leaving one winner. Ever since Katniss won the Hunger Games, there
    have been whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol; the place where all the wealthy
    families live, including President Snow, the manager of the Games. All twelve districts
    are rebelling against the Capitol. The districts’ rebellion against the Capitol is a good
    cause.
    The first reason the districts’ rebellion is good is because the Capitol used
    extreme violence against the districts, killing many innocent people. The Capitol started
    bombing many places where innocent people were, including Katniss’ district. They
    even bombed a hospital full of injured people. The text says, “I’m here in District Eight,
    where the Capitol has just bombed a hospital full of unarmed men, women and children”
    (Collins 117). Katniss is saying this when she is in front of the camera that is filming her
    to show other districts what is going on. She is encouraging them to rebel against the
    Capitol, who, as we can see, has no piety toward the injured.
    The last reason the districts’ rebellion is justifiable is that another thing the
    Capitol did is manipulate Peeta Mellark, the boy who survived the Games along with
    Katniss, also twice, and won over Katniss’s heart. During the second games, Peeta
    wasn’t rescued and was taken as a prisoner. He was forced into saying things he didn’t
    want to say and had to persuade the country into stopping the rebellion so that he could
    stay alive. The book says, “The ceasefire’s clearly President Snow’s idea. But it seems
    so reasonable coming out of Peeta…He might have been tortured. Or persuaded”
    (Collins 35). These sentences are made by Gale, Katniss’s best friend. Here we can
    see what the Capitol is doing to Peeta, making him say these things.
    Due to the circumstances that the districts live in, their rebellion is well caused.
    The Capitol is a cruel, oppressive government that made severe punishments to people
    and had no piety against anyone. This book shows us both the cruelty of the Capitol
    against people and the rebellion that was made after so many years. The Capitol’s
    evilness is revealed, how they bombed a hospital full of innocent people and how they
    manipulated and tortured a boy to be a part of what they were doing. Rebellion has a
    cause; in this case, the cause is wickedness.
