Few books gain popularity like The Hunger Games has and even if they do most do not do so as quick. This is one book that has been made into a movie since it was so popular and millions of copies were sold. The information that surrounds the Hunger Games pin is one of the most discussed parts from the movie and the book.
This is one of the most symbolic pieces from both sources. There are many different symbols that are found in this item that is also known as the mockingjay pin. A mockingjay is something that used to be a listening device but is no longer used.
So the fact that the mockingjay is present on the pin is actually one of the pieces of symbolism. This also shows that there were a vareiyt of different districts and how they were all fighting against one another. At the time that this is worn by Katniss in the story the meaning is changed so that it is symbolic of rebellion.
There are some things that you will have to gather about the story before you are going to be able to understand the symbolism that is present. The first of these is the setting which is in the future after the world as we now know it has ended. It is a land of mass destruction and pandemonium.
What has happened is that the different districts are separated and they all have their own nations or separate governments of their own. Each of these nations has to send someone to specialized games in which they have to fight to their death. When this happens each of the characters true selves is revealed.
This is because there are some who actually do not want to kill and are more humane. There are others that are happy to fight so long as they can be the last man standing. This symbolic piece will come into play with the storyline as it is.
In some circles it is suspected that this has been added to the story to make you think. It is supposed to help you to think about your future. Plus it is supposed to make you feel something about your own government.
Of course on top of the above symbols mentioned above the Hunger Games pin is also known for its symbolic portrayal of rebellion. During this part of the plot line it is more used for mocking or making fun of the government. It is suspected that this is another reason for which it is also labeled as the mockingjay.
