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.

Girl Rising Person Response The Documentary “Girl Rising” is directed by Richard E. Robbins, it is a film which tells the true stories of 9 inspiring young girls, each in different countries who are paired with a writer from their own country to help tell their story. These are the stories of just 9 girls, there are 77 million other girls in the world that don’t go to school, with the same dream, to get and education and go to school, but all with different reasons holding them back such as; early marriage, slavery, trafficking, gender-based violence, and by simply being a girl in a place where education for boys is very common, and un-common for girls.

Wadley’s story begins with her running through fields of flowers, jumping around peacefully, but then the scene changes to her being woken by her mother, and it was all just a dream.

The veil expresses a negative change calling for action. The veil is a symbol brought throughout the whole novel, meaning it’s extremely important, because they didn’t want new cultures brought in by western people. It reveals how freedom was not a priority and that their main priority was to be loyal to Iran, its culture, and its people.
Unfortunately, these very young girls do not have a choice in this ritual that is performed on them. The problem of female circumcision is the extremely serious health risks and the psychological problems that will follow these girls for the rest of their lives.
