Before her first Games, Katniss received a pin that had a mutt on it, a mockingjay. When she unknowingly started the rebellion by out-smarting the Capitol, the mockingjay turned into her persona. When she went into the *Spoilers* Quarter Quell Games in Catching Fire, she was rescued by the Rebellion, and they called her the Mockingjay and she was the face of the rebellion of the Districts against the Capitol and President Snow, in the book Mockingjay. :)

Mockingjays are the symbol of rebellion, because Katniss's pin had a mockingjay on it, and she defied the Capitol. Also, it had a special meaning before because the Capitol never meant for it to exist, yet it still thrived.

She tries to give Rue her pin, but Rue says no, saying that that was how she came to trust Katniss in the first place, seeing the mockingjay on it.

What does Katniss say to primm when she gives her the mockingjay pin?

In the book, Katniss doesn't give Prim the mockingjay pin. Madge, the Mayor's daughter gives the pin to Katniss after the reaping. In the movie, Katniss says "I got this for you today" and hands her the pin, then proceeds to say "as long as you wear it nothing bad will happen" as prim is scared for the reaping.


What are adjectives that describe Katniss Everdeen?

Katniss Everdeen is rebellious, strong, passionate, caring, hard working, clever, brave, smart, and independent. There are many other adjectives that describe her, but these are just a few :)


When katniss gave primm the Mockingjay pin what page was that on?

Actually, that was only in the film. In the book, when the Reaping was over and people were coming to say goodbye to her, right after her mother and Prim left, her friend Madge, the daughter of the Mayor, gave it to her. The reason behind that is in the second book Catching Fire


When is Peeta's birthday?

no one really knows as it doesn't say


What is the names of Katniss and Peeta's kids?

It's most likely that Katniss named her baby girl; Rue. Because she talks about her through the entire series. And most likely the boy Gale. In my opinion, I don't think they would name the boy Gale, since of what happened with Prim and all that sad stuff. It just doesn't sound like somehting Katniss would wants, especially since she seems so upset about the whole thing. But it's possible. I've heard that the Little girl will be named Rue and the boy Haymitch
