The provided text consists of excerpts from the novel Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, which detail the protagonist Katniss Everdeen's experiences following the destruction of District 12 and her emergence as a symbol of the rebellion against the Capitol. These passages focus on the refugees' relocation to the underground District 13, the psychological toll of the war and her actions on Katniss, Gale, and the other victors, and her tumultuous relationship with the rebel leadership, particularly President Coin and Plutarch Heavensbee, as they strategize to create propaganda. The latter parts of the excerpts describe Katniss's dangerous mission into the Capitol, the horrific death of her sister Prim, and the final, morally complex decision to hold a final Hunger Games using Capitol children, ultimately leading to the book's epilogue where she finds a future with Peeta.
