Mockingjay (dinosaurs eat man... women inherit the Earth)

Mockingjay. It is something never meant to exist. A symbol of how nature always finds a way. Katniss is now in the district that has been thought to be forgotten. Peeta has been taken to the Capitol. District 12 has been bombed into nonexistence. The Rebels are fighting. And Katniss has been made into being the Mockingjay, the symbol of the Rebellion. She fights as she is directed, a puppet no longer belonging to the Hunger Games, but now belonging to the Rebels. She is still expendable. And Peeta… will he be the same after one side wins?

So as this was the second time I read the series, I had an idea how it would all turn out. So I paid more attention to the background details, like where the districts were located and what they were responsible for.  Then, as I like listening to music when reading or writing, I also looked for songs that I felt reflected the districts or some person from them:

District 1: Luxury Items
Song: “Rich Kids” by New Medicine

District 2: Masonry
Song: “Army of Me” by Bjork

District 3: Technology
Song: End of Line (David guetta remix)

District 4: Fishing
Song: “Sleep Alone” by Bat for Lashes

District 5: Power
Song: “Bones” by Young Guns

District 6: Transportation
Song: “Midnight City” by M83

District 7: Lumber
Song: “The Pit” by Silversun Pickups

District 8: Textiles
Song: “Stand Up” by All That Remains

District 9: Grain
Song: “Sober” by Tool

District 10: Livestock
Song: “Vilify” by Device

District 11: Agriculture
Song: “Fell on Black Days” by Soundgarden

District 12: Coal
Song:  “My Songs know what you did in the dark” by Fall Out Boy

District 13: Nuclear
Song: “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons
