When Rue dies, the mockingjays continue to sing her song. What meaning do you think this holds?
The mockingjays represent hope, and to show Katniss that she's not alone. I think they kind of foreshadow her alliance with Peeta. Also, they bring a sad tone along with the hope because it's like the song for the Rue's funeral. The mockingjays usually stay quiet after danger, so Katniss knows she's safe now since the birds are singing.
the other questions follow, since we split up the questions within our group
The mockingjays sing her song because they think it's pretty. And, Rue had just sung the song only a few minutes before. It's ironic though, that Rue is dead but her song lives on. It lives on in her friends and family, too. She will not be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI think it also means that Rue will be with Katniss to "guide" her through and beat this torturous game. I also thought the Mockingjays was kind of like a type of mockery against the Capitol. The Mockingjays tell the Capitol indirectly that they can not kill the hope that Rue gave to Katniss.
