Madge, Katniss's friend, gives the mockingjay pin to Katniss as a token for her to carry in the Arena. It also appeared as her token in the Quarter Quell that Katniss is in, her second Hunger Games. It becomes the national symbol, in the Capitol a fashion symbol, in the Districts a symbol of rebellion.
mocking jays are the bird on her pin
Mockingjays remind her of her father, who used to take her hunting out in the woods. He would sing and the mockingjays would repeat his tune.
The mockingjay pin represents a figure with a spirit all it's own. Mockingjays are a symbol of resistance and rebellion to the Capitol.
When her father taught her to hunt in the woods, he would sing and the birds would fall silent. The mockingjays liked his voice and they would pick up his melody and repeat it. Katniss learns that the mockingjays, too, like her voice and the mockingjays remind her of her father. She treasures the mockingjay pin as she believes as long as she has it with her, a part of her deceased father will be with her, too.
It is the gift from her district given to her from Madge. Mockingjays were produced from Jabberjays and Mockingbords. The capitol never intended for them to exist. Since the pin is like her signature, she becomes the Mockingjay of the rebellion. Just the same....the capitol never intended for mockinjays to exist...Hope this helped (:
Mockingjays were not a symbol of hope, they were a symbol of the rebellion. Mockingjays are hybrid birds, the results of wild mockingbirds mating with the Capitol's Jabberjay muttations. Nobody ever intended on their existence, especially the Capitol. Because the Capitol controls everything, Mockingjays are their own kind of rebel.
Because Katniss's father used to sing with the mockingjays and it reminds her of him. It also lets Katniss know that she still has family at home and it gives her faith in the games. nobody else in the games is wearing that same pin so she is special.
the government used to make birds called jabberjays that picked up peoples' conversations and sent them back to the capitol. they were used to find traitors and people conspiring against the government. people found out about these, though, and began to feed jabberjays useless or false information, so the government abandoned the project. they left the jabberjays where they were to die out, but instead they bred with mockingbirds, creating mockingjays. mockingjays can't mimic words, like jabberjays, but they can repeat a tune if they like it enough. katniss' dad had such a beautiful voice that the mockingjays would take up a song whenever he sang it. (that's why mockingjays remind her of her dad) THE mockingjay, however, in later books, is katniss. she has a pin she got in the first book with a mockingjay on it, a symbol of defiance, and she wore it continuously in the first book. people call her the mockingjay in later books, because of her pin.
Its a black book with a mockingjay pin on it.
tree climbing and she can harvest plants and whistle to the mockingjays
Annie's full name (Annie Cresta) was mentioned by Peeta after the incident with the mockingjays in Catching Fire, where the mockingjays imitated the screams of Prim, Gale and Annie to break Katniss and Finnick.
In the book it represents defiance against the capitol.
