For the Hunger Games, the start of violence is when two people, a boy and a girl, gets selected, from each of the 12 districts, out of a box at the reaping to see who would join the Hunger Games that year. The Hunger Games is when 12 girls and 12 boys from all of the districts go into an arena to fight to their death. The two contestants train and try to gain sponsors. After training, they are sent into the Hunger Games to fight the battle between life and death. In this society, we never would have actual reality show where people would really die, but its basically what’s going on, people are acting as if it‘s a game.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins An allusion is a reference, bored and indirect to a person, place, thin or idea of historical or political significance. The Hunger Games contain many examples of allusion. Example 1: •The 12 districts on Panem must each send one male and one female tribute to the capital every year to die in a battle to the death, a tradition started after a failed civil war. This is an allusion to the story of Theseus and the Minotaur in which Athenians sacrificed seven ale and seven female youths to the Minotaur on Crete after being federated in war. Theseus volunteered to be a “tribute” as did Katniss in the barbaric practice.
Competitors are forced to kill each other in order to survive and there may only be one winner. Katniss Everdeen is the tribute competing from District 12 after stepping in for her younger sister who was chosen to compete. She is then forced into the arena and forced to fight for her survival while everyone at home watches on their televisions. My favorite character is Haymitch , Haymitch is Katniss and Peeta's trainer. He competed in The Hunger Games before and barely won.
Everyone knows that war, catastrophes, epidemic diseases, terrorist attacks take many human lives every year. But did you ever thought about how many lives takes hunger? Here's one fact to consider: Hunger kills thirteen thousand children every day. And today, this problem is just as severe as it was in the last century or the one before that. That is why, one unknown author decided to create vintage advertisement for Red Cross organization in 1917.
In the book the “Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins which had been made into a great movie in Hollywood. The plot of the hunger games can be describes as an event that every year the Capitol of Panem hosts an event called the Hunger Games where two "tributes" (a boy and a girl) are drafted from each of the twelve districts to be brought to an arena and fight to the death. Only one person can win. This is to remind the country not to rebel and also this is for entertainment too. This year, unfortunately, Katniss's little sister is selected for the Hunger Games, so Katniss volunteers to take her place.
Typically, when one thinks of Great War, they think of extensive fighting in Europe but in reality the Great War had numerous battles in the colonized states where there were clashes between Triple Alliance and the Allies. Particularly, in Africa and in Ottoman empire where the clashes would lead to hundreds and thousands of fatal deaths and injuries. The Great War brought devastation and thousands of losses to both Ottomans and the Africans and caused a severe decline in economies but the Great War brought an end to Ottoman empire however Africa would still remain colonized. Furthermore, Since thousands of lives were constantly being lost so their was shortage of men so Great Britain and France brought soldiers from their colonies in Africa to fight for them in Europe. In addition, the war caused severe damage to economy since their were less men to work for in the fields and more Raw material was needed for the War.
stretching from the leaders of countries all the way down to local security guards. The most common of type of abusive power holders is the police. Cases of police brutality can be traced back to centuries ago. A very well known case would be the beating of Rodney King in witch the 31 year old African-American was killed, due to unnecessary acts of several police officers. Police violence is an unnecessary act carried out all over the world.
The Persian army that vastly outnumbered the Spartans was beat back for two days and during those defeats they suffered heavy losses. All was lost on the third day after a traitor revealed to the Persian King Xexres that there was a hidden path that would lead his army behind the Spartan lines. We will never know if King Leonidas would have been able to defeat the Persian forces because he and all his men were slaughtered that third day. The setting of the movie 300 expresses political, religious, and social customs that ruled over the entire place. However, the most recognizable aspect of the culture of Spartans seen in the movie is their incorporation to warfare and military culture.
Attica Prison Riot Assignment After reading about the riot at Attica Prison I knew that it was a terrible riot where many inmates and guards were injured and over 40 were killed. I pictured the riot as one from a movie or television show where there was an uprising, a short stand still, then the police force ending it in a massacre. What the movie showed me was that this was not a movie or TV show and all the people involved, both inmate and guard, were a part of a civil war. These casualties I read about in the book weren’t just numbers but real people that if treated better could have avoided the riot all together. The Attica Prison is an old maximum security prison located in New York and housed mainly African American (54%) and Hispanic (9%) inmates that grew up in the inner cities and poorer parts of the state.
The Battle of Mogadishu The Battle of Mogadishu went from a normal military kidnapping to a seventeen hour firefight for soldiers lives. Most Americans have the image of American soldiers being dragged lifeless through the streets of Mogadishu, half-naked, but the event itself was much more than that. It was an event filled with miscommunication, bad choices and American heroes fighting for their lives (Alex 1). The Battle of Mogadishu led to the deaths of thousands of Somali militia, which caused the United States to intervene leading to one of the United States Military’s largest aggravating military defeats. There were many events that took place that led up to the battle.
