What is the significance of the title of the Hunger Games?

Answer 1

The Hunger Games: games where tributes fight to the death and only one is triumphant. This is the cruel punishment that the capitol created to the districts for rebelling against it. They consider this entertainment.

Catching Fire: Katniss has sparked a rebellion in the districts towards the capitol and it is qickly catching fire in many districts. this is also associated with hernickname "the girl who was on fire".

Mockingjay: Katniss is acting as the mockingjay(mix of a bluejay and mockingbird) for the rebels by transporting messages and making decisions. The mockingjay symbolizesthe bird that seems to fly everywhere and has special meaning to Katniss, once Rue shows her the mockingjay call and she recieves a mockingjay pin from Madge.

If you look closely at the pictures on the cover of the books, they also symbolize the mockingjay. In the first book, it is just a meaningful pin, in the second it sparks a rebellion and catches fire, and in the third it becomes a full-fledged fire birb. In the simplest sense, Katniss was always considered the Mockingjay.

Answer 2

It is the mocking jay pin. The mocking jay pin plays a big part in the Hunger Games. At the start Katniss buys her little sister a mocking jay pin to keep her safe (her sister was just old enough to be in the games). Katniss then meets up with a girl called Rue which they then use mocking jays to signal messages.
