The Capitol wants to have the feeling that they are in control, but Katniss keeps doing things harmlessly (most), and throwing off the Capitol. First off, you aren’t allowed to travel beyond the fences, but Katniss goes in the woods mostly every day, to hunt, and support her family. Her mother isn’t able to support her sister and her, because all the time she looks depressed, because of the passing of her husband. Another act of rebellion would be how Katniss wore the mockingjay pin, signifying a respect for Rue’s death. The Capitol sees this as very deadly, because usually, no tribute has respect for another when they are deceased.
Taking the Blame for Obesity Parents are the ones who knowingly open the door between childhood obesity and a long and healthy life. In David's Weintrub's article, "The Battle Against Fast Food Begins in the Home" blames the parents. Eating unhealthy can cause serious health problems. Parents are their children's first teachers. Showing them how to obtain a healthy lifestyle will benefit them for the future.
Even though Ismene didn’t help out with the crime she still wanted to risk her life for Antigone, but she wouldn’t let her because she didn’t do the work. Antigone wants to die for the right reason, that she did something right for someone else. But since Ismene didn’t do any of the crime she didn’t want her to die because she did something wrong. Antigone wanted Ismene to live and she descried to live she didn’t do anything wrong. I think Ismene changed her mid because Antigone is her sister and you always stand up for family.
Labeling and stereotyping. They don’t seem like a big deal until it causes chaos in the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. In Maycomb, this is a big issue in the community. Scout is watching and understanding this world differently, being young and very influential racisms changes her, in maturing and her personality. Scout is the main character, she is the reason the Finches get in all these dilemmas.
In a crisis, people tend to show their emotions and run away from the situations that they are facing. In The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck , the Joad family, was forced from their home in Oklahoma because of a Dust Bowl. They head to California in search of work and accomplishment but they end up only finding misery. As a result of the crisis and the obstacles they had to overcome, Ma Joad, the wife, mother, and leader of the family, comes off as powerful and unselfish authority figure. She isn’t the traditional American house wife that watches the children, cook meals, and wash and make clothes for the family.
She will do what has to be done in order to preserve the endangered species that are unique to the Channel Islands. But through all that dedication Alma has a lot of self-doubt because she has so much power over these animals but even with all that power she doesn’t know what to do with it. We see her dedication when Alicia, Alma’s assistant questions her ways, “I don’t know why we have to kill everything” Alma loses hope that she hasn’t explained herself, “But that’s exactly wrong, don’t you see? Because we’re the ones who put the animals there, the sheep and cattle and pigs on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa, the rats on Anacapa and cats and rabbits on Santa Barbara, and it’s our obligation, our duty [to return these places to their original state by killing off the interlopers]”(103-104). But even with all the power she holds she still questions her motives and that is very ironic.
As Katniss states, “Anyway, Gale and I agree that if we have to choose between dying of hunger and a bullet in the head, the bullet would be much quicker (Collins 17).” Although this is subtle, this is just one instance of Katniss doing what she feels is right and going against the capitol and their rules. Another instance of rebelling is when the hunger games lottery was going on and Prim, Katniss’s sister was chosen. She decided to take her place in the games since she was older and always took care of Prim. She loved and didn’t want anything to happen to her younger sister. Although this was permitted by the rules of the capitol this was still another way of showing them that they cant just simply force upon everyone anything that they want and that the people can step forward and have a say in how
She had adopted the name to distance herself emotionally from her bloody work of killing. Arrow was a courageous character, as she put her life in jeopardy to protect the civilians. Arrow became the “defender of hope” when she was told her new task to protect the cellist. At first Arrow became skeptical because she had become tired of the constant killing, but decided the cellist was an important asset to the town and agreed to take the task. Therefore even though Arrow was being hard on herself for the killings, she did what was best for the people around her.
By Edna neglecting her Tuesday’s at home she not only puts a bad name on herself, but that bad name is reflected on her family too. Edna decides “to do as she liked and to feel as she liked” (Chopin 95) demonstrating a selfish nature according to the expectations of a Creole woman (95). As Edna continues to go against her husbands’ wishes she “[resolves] never to take another step backward” (Chopin 95), deciding that in order for her to continue down this path of independence and succeed she needs to put her entire being in to this decision (95). The further Edna continues down this path, and the more she pushes against her husband testing his boundaries, she decides that she would be better off living on her own. The decision to move in to her own house is beyond unacceptable to her husband during this time but Edna does not care about this, rather speaking of how she “[knows she] shall like it, the feeling of freedom and independence” (Chopin
Weintraub proves a lot of why parents are blame for America’s obesity but I also blame the fast food companies. With so much advertising more children are easy to fall upon it. For example, “’The programs have become advertising for the food, and the food has become advertising for the programs,’” says Professor Linn of Harvard. (39). More and more vulnerable kids are intrigued by the media.
