Sidekick to Mockingjay

The book includes the following:

Exploring the author's fiction world.

Panem.

Roman Culture. (This ties in the movie to the relationship between Panem and ancient Roman Culture in such ways as the names of many of the people are really Roman-era names. You also have the arena where people kill each other just like in ancient Rome.)

The idea of bread and circuses and how this relations to ancient Roman culture and to the Capitol of Panem.

A list of district and products. (This type of thing is always useful.)

Chapter analysis and discussion.

Katniss as Coin's pawn. (A summary of what happens.)

Questions for the reader to consider.

One of the good things about studying history is that it helps explain just what certain things are the way they are as in Panem and its relation to Roman culture and how that actually influences how the government of Panem acts.

A very interesting and useful book.
