In the Australia film RABBIT PROOF FENCE 3 Aboriginal girls are forcibly removed from their families. The year is 1931 and they were taken from Jigalona WA 1500 miles to Moore riues to be trained as domestic servants. The Australian prime minister, Kevin Rudd, yesterday issued the text of the long-awaited apology to the country's Aboriginal population citing the "profound suffering, grief and loss" inflicted on them by decades of abuse and mistreatment. His words, contained in an Australian parliamentary motion, were directed to the "stolen generations" - the tens of thousands of mixed-race children taken from their families in a strategy of white assimilation only abandoned in 1970. But he also said sorry to all of Australia's indigenous people who still live on the margins of society, saying that in the future he wanted them to have the same opportunities as other Australians.
Mukherjee pursues her ways of living are the same as Mira’s. In the essay Mukherjee indicates how she was neglected in Canada after living there for more than 20 years. Mukerjee states “I felt then the same sense of betrayal that Mira feels now, I will never forget the pain of that sudden turning, and the casual racist outburst the Green Paper elicited” (310). It seems that one has to go through a certain state in order to understand a person’s different point of view. Mira’s negligence was clear to Mukherjee after she had been driven away from Canada.
After facing apocalyptic war destruction, a new nation arose from the remains of what was once North America: Panem. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, not only exposes the struggles due to the overpowering Capitol of Panem, but also looks into humanity itself. How could something so cruel go unopposed and even enjoyed? Surrounded by 12 districts, the Capitol started an annual event, known as the Hunger Games, to remind everyone of their defeat in the war. Each district offers a tribute, one boy and one girl, anywhere from age twelve to the age of eighteen.
From my own knowledge I know that these acts, passed by the Imperial Legislative Council in London on the 10th march 1919, gave authorization to imprison people for up to two years without trial, anybody living within the Raj suspected of terrorism. This act was passed as a result of the Amritsar Massacre, when what started out to be a peaceful protest called by Gandhi soon escalated into violence after the arrests of Kitchlew and Pal. This showed clearly that British intentions were to repress rather than reform, and after all of the efforts Indians had made to support the British in the war and there economic suffering, they felt betrayed and provoked widespread fury in India. Source 15 also agrees with this statement, it states that the reforms were a response to the nationalist demand for greater involvement, so it shows us that they did respond, however the source further states that ‘these reforms eased the tension’ implying that they were more symbolic and in actual fact the reforms did nothing to help India gain any more power and control with in the British rule. In source 13 it sates that ‘many Indians were satisfied with the concessions’, this shows us that tension was eased from the reforms as many Indians were satisfied but there was still unrest within India.

Katniss Fears Often characters have a lot of fears. In the novel Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, we meet Katniss Everdeen who lives in District 13 in the country of Panem. Katniss wants to overthrow the capitol, but first she has to become the Mockingjay and put her feelings of anger and distrust aside in order to overthrow the Capitol. I was fascinated by Katniss because she had to grow up faster to provide for her mom and sister Prim after her father died and how she volunteered to take her sister’s place for the 74th Hunger Games. When we first meet Katniss she had become the head of the house.
