The Widow’s Broom – Riley Finn How has your picture book helped you to understand an aspect of society? Society as we know it is full of moral codes and dignities that, whether we are aware of them or not, influence our every action and decision. Although unwritten, these rules dictate what we view as acceptable in our everyday lives. However, these guidelines can often be misconstrued or, more commonly, exaggerated to the point of ill founded prejudices. The Widow’s Broom, by Chris Van Allsburg looks at the way in which society can be misled by these prejudices, and this can lead to disharmony between individuals or groups.

Many of Bradbury's works have been adapted into television shows or films. Ray Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois.

The book is a cautionary tale about what happens when books are Forgotten or actively suppressed, and it forms one of its own best arguments in favour of the book as a keystone to intellectual freedom.
The inherent complexities prevalent in an institution are seen in its ability to consume an individual’s persona and filter it in order to meet societal expectations. Susan Collins uses Katniss, the titular character of the film, as an instrument to represent the identity-altering aspects of the institution. And more deeply, how an individual can sometimes be forced upon the institution in order to alleviate the suffering they experience at the hands of society. Similar to Chief Bromden in his reliance upon the fog to free himself from Nurse Ratched’s regime, the young Katniss reluctantly embraces the institution as a means to detach herself from the overbearing facets of her society.
