Social Issues in Mockingjay

     I am reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. In my book, the main social issue is war. There is a war against the government and a rebellion force. This war is having a negative affect everyone. The war in this book is a major problem for everyone.
     This war was caused by the action of Katniss, the main character. Katniss threatened to commit suicide during the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is an event when teenagers are chosen to fight to the death. Katniss didn’t want to kill her friend Petta. By doing this, she disobeyed the government. People saw this as an act of rebellion. This was a chance to rebel against the government, and the rebellion started.
     This war is ruining the lives of the people of Districts. In the Districts, the people are suffering. The government is making rules to make the Districts suffer. They are making theses rules to punish the citizens of the Districts because they rebelled against the government. The government replaced the Peace Keepers, or the police, with more strict and brutal people. The Peace Keepers make new rules that have to do with make the people of the district suffer. The Peace Keepers make the punishment for breaking the rules more severe. For example, in District 12, Peace Keepers built new whipping posts and gallows for punishment.
     There is only one possible way for the war to possibly end. Either side has to win the war to stop the situation. If the rebels win, the government would be overthrown and will liberate the people of the Districts. If the Capitol wins, the Districts would still be in their condition, but the suffering would stop.
