Why does the mockingjay remind Katniss of her dad?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

In the woods behind district twelve, Katniss and her father would go hunting together. Because mockingjays can repeat songs and music, her father would sing while they were walking and all of the mockingjays in the area would sing back. It made him seem at one with the animals.

Answer 3

It made her the head of her family, so she had to start providing for them at only age 11.

Answer 4

When her father would sing, the mockingjay would always mimick his music back.

Answer 5

her bow
