Blog Post 6: Mockingjay- Haymitch

        In Mockingjay the "mentor" is Haymitch.
   Haymitch trains and encourages Peeta and Katniss as they go through the Hunger Games. Now they've met some new obstacles and Haymitch has new roles but he still keeps his mentor personality. He teachs, gives his (sometimes unwanted) opinions, and overall compainion and person to talk to.
   He also has some attributes of the shapeshifter. At the beginning you don't know whether to trust him or hate him, because he asks very rude and mysterious. katniss doesn't know how to feel about him either which makes the reader even less assured.
He is more a mentor but has parts of a shapeshifter in his personality.

I believe Mockingjay will become a classic because it is so popular. Future generations should read this book because it's intriuging and you litraly can not put it down. It's so captivating and you either fall inlove with the characters or you hate them with all your mind. It is honestly one of the best series I've ever read, and thats why I believe it will become a classic!
