So the goal of this is to get the government started and keep it going and stable so it can solve future problems of governance. With the key word being “future” it is understandable that people who support the living constitution view believe that the Constitution was specifically written to be flexible for future changes and amendments. As stated before, the term originalism was originally defined by the former dean of Stanford Law School, Paul Brest, in a 1981 article. Some important followers of orginalism are Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Robert Bork who are all serving on the United States Supreme Court. The term living constitution comes from the title of a book that was written by Professor Howard McBain in 1927.
The Hunger Games is a story of a post-apocalyptic America divided into 12 districts. As punishment for a past revolution, two teenagers are chosen from each district to participate in a fight to the death. The main character, Katniss Everdeen, chooses to take her sister’s place in the games and embarks on an experience she could have never prepared for. However, under all the fighting and bloodshed, The Hunger Games has a deeper meaning of a people’s struggle living under an oppressor. By comparing scene portrayal, and the demise of characters, it is clear to see that the book, The Hunger Games, surpasses the movie.

After investing her money into the publication of her book through a print on demand-company she was short changed to say the least. The book sold well in the community, but not so well through the print on demand- company. Frustrated
This book was not very good. I think someone older might like it better than a middle schooler. The characters were pretty well throughout the book. They were like a real family, fighting with each other. I do not, however, think that’s a normal family in that time period.

For extra consideration, take on this challenge: Compare and contrast the American Dream as held by Willy, Biff, and Happy Loman, and George and Lennie from Of Mice and Men. How do each of these characters view the American Dream, how do they fail to achieve it, and what effect does their failure to achieve their dreams do to each of them? Consider the theme of being trapped or ‘boxed in’ (for Willy, and also think of where Biff and Happy really want to go and what they really want to do) and consider the ways they all feel about money (and

For this book report, I read the book, The Hunger Games. It is a Future Fiction novel written by Suzanne Collins. This is book one of a three part series The book is set in the future where there are 12 districts that are ruled and governed by one central power city called The Capitol. Every year a male and a female are chosen from each district to compete in The Hunger Games. Competitors are forced to kill each other in order to survive and there may only be one winner.
The people who live in Capitol are the wealthy and government employees; whereas the people of the districts are mostly impoverished or middle working class. As punishment for a nearly century old uprising revolt each district must allow two children between the ages of twelve and eighteen years old, one girl and one boy, to be chosen in a drawing to go to Capitol to participate in the “hunger games”. This is a sure fire death sentence for 23 of those children, as there can only be one victor, and it is a battle to the death. Ross (2012) movie adaptation, The Hunger Games brings this book to the theaters. This movie was a successful close adaptation which brought the book to life on the big screen with some minor changes.
Even when I got into the story, I struggled with how unsympathetic all of the characters were. They were foolish, naive, whiny, and self-absorbed. They were very human, however in some cases it was hard to see that they could ever redeem themselves. For example, Catherine- the beloved whose rejection of Heathcliff spurs the book’s events. She had a very high sense of self-worth: “But I begin to fancy you don’t like me.
