Mockingjay: Do you trust? ( Spoiler Alert )

I am currently reading Mockingjay the final book of
the Hunger Games series. It is about how Katniss and 
the rebels are trying to overthrow the Capitol which is 
basically the powerful government in the city. Her home 
has been burned to the ground and that was when she 
knew she had to be the " Mockingjay " a symbol of 
rebellion to unite all of the 13 districts to fight. Everything
was going to plan until Peeta her lover was kidnapped 
by the Capitol and brainwashed to think that Katniss was 
the enemy and destroyed everything.

I think that the book's theme is loyalty. In the book Katniss
must deal with betrayal and violence against enemies, 
friends, and people who you would never think of 
doing betrayal. Even though violence, war, and surviving
is the main theme of Mockingjay, the real focus is on the
effects war has on the characters and their relationships
with one another. That could be cause of betrayal because
they know that they won't get it easy if the rebels lost.

I can connected to both sides but more to Katniss since I
have felt how it is to be betrayed by someone you care 
about. In some cases I have betrayed someone and it does
not feel good especially when you regret it.
