    3. Summarize Plot/Climax

    What happened in the book?

    The novel follows the journey of 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow and is set in the Hunger Games universe
    64 years before the events of the original Hunger Games trilogy. The book opens on Harvest Morning of
    the 10th Hunger Games. This predates the life of original trilogy protagonist Katniss Everdeen.
    Historically, the book examines Panem's reconstruction period, ten years after the district's first
    rebellion, commonly referred to as the Dark Ages. With the aftermath of a war-torn country struggling
    to get back on its feet and the game holding up to win power, there's plenty of fertile ground for
    characters to grapple with moral issues on what it takes to ignore them. Coriolanus Snow is one of the
    24 Academy students selected to direct the 10th annual Hunger Games tribute. His family is going
    through a difficult time and he has been assigned as a mentor for a female tribute by District 12.
    Coriolanus Snow was a tyrannical president of Panem. In his youth, he was known by the nickname
    Coryo, originally given to him by Tigris. The once wealthy and powerful Snow family but not anymore
    after the deaths of Coriolanus' mother and military father, who were killed during a failed district
    rebellion. Coriolanus and his cousin Tigris live with his grandmother, whom he calls “Grandma’am.”
    While the novel can be read as a coming-of-age story, it is also an origin story that tells the transition
    from a seemingly ordinary person to a villain. Before becoming president, he attended the Academy in
    the Capitol, where he mentored the winning tribute of the 10th Hunger Games. He later moved on to
    advanced military studies at the University. He also served a brief stint in the Peacekeepers,
    demonstrating such aptitude that he tested successfully for an elite program to become an officer with
    the Peacekeepers, though ultimately he did not pursue this path. While attending the University and
    studying advanced military strategy, he also served as an apprentice Gamemaker, quickly instituting
    several new reforms to the Games, including the creation of the Victors' Village. This is a girl named Lucy
    Gray Beard from a singing and playing group called Covey. Lucy Gray Baird was the female tribute from
    District 12 in the 10th Hunger Games. Her mentor was Coriolanus Snow, a top-performing student at the
    Academy. She was the victor of the Games, and was a Capitol favorite. A member of the Covey, she and
    her kin were trapped in District 12 following the First Rebellion, but originally traveled throughout
    Panem. She was formerly in a relationship with Billy Taupe and Coriolanus Snow. He quickly bonds with
    the girl, but things go haywire before the game even begins: Arachne Crane, one of her chosen mentors,
    Crane is killed by her own tribute, leaving Capitol in her arena. Several tributes and mentors died from
    injuries in the bombing.

    C. Conclusion

    As the game progresses, many tributes failed to escape the game. The District 1 Tributes was shot while
    trying to escape, and the female District 2 Tribute fell to her death. Sejanus, Marcus' tribute is
    completely gone. Coriolanus is happy to see Lucy her Gray is safe, but wonders how she can repay her
    for saving her own life. I'm here. At the end of the Games, Lucy Gray is announced the victor, but
    Coriolanus's own triumphs are short-lived. He's accused of manipulating the Games and stealing from
    the Academy, and he's sent to District 12 to be a Peacekeeper as punishment. The Ballad of Songbirds
    and Snakes. Since the book surrounds into Coriolanus’s point of view, Lucy’s story by the end of novel
    remains a mystery. There are theories surrounding Lucy; maybe she got shot, commits suicide,
    somehow survives Snow, or simply disappears, she is free, and there is nothing Snow can do to cage her.

    D. Evaluation

    I enjoyed the book itself, it is wonderfully written since it is a prequel for the Hunger Games trilogy. I am
    already familiarized what the story is about or who are the characters in this new story. The novel
    surrounds to the main villain of the trilogy. The book uncovers the background of the antagonist’s back
    story and a whole new past is revealed. However, the book sympathizes Snow even though he is the
    main antagonist of the said sequel trilogy, still he is the main character of the prequel. Furthermore, a
    new character from the novel was introduced; Lucy Gray Baird. She is a well-written character and her
    story remains a mystery in the end. Left with solving theories about what happened in the end I think
    people would love reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the book is very good and would like to
    recommend it some people who loves these kind of genres.
