Answers Quote by Suzanne Collins
“The question is, what are you going to do?" It turns out the question that's been eating away at me has only ever had one possible answer. But it took Peeta's ploy for me to recognize it. What am I going to do? I take a deep breath. My arms rise slightly - as if recalling the black-and-white wings Cinna gave me - then come to rest at my sides. "I'm going to be the Mockingjay.”

![“Now he's [Cinna] arranging things around my living room: Clothing, fabrics, and sketchbooks with designs he's drawn. I pick one up and examine one of the dresses I supposedly created. You know, I think I show a lot of promise," I say. Get dressed, you worthless thing.” quote by Suzanne Collins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/38f/suzanne-collins-60_arranging-things_now-he-s-cinna-arranging-things-around-m_473799.jpg)
