The Party system in the UK has existed in some form since the 18th century. Political parties are an extremely powerful force in the legislative process, and government in general. Without an efficient party structure, a government would find it incredibly hard to carry out their work and to pass bills through parliament. Around 100 government MPs have some kind of ministerial role whilst being aligned to a political party. The government need to be able to rely on the MPs support for bills in parliament and regardless of the majority, there could more than 200 backbench MPs that need to be organised by a political party.
Dr. Seuss is famous for writing children books that contain rhyming, imaginative characters, and off the wall story lines. Dr. Seuss’s “Oh The Places You’ll Go” is a prime example. When reading, “Oh The Places You’ll Go” from a child to an adolescent, your view of the book changes dramatically.

But as an adolescent, the book is trying to tell you that nothing comes easy in life and to choose your paths wisely.
In Why Nations Go to War, Dr.John G Stoessinger talks about the role of individuals in starting wars. He is of the view that factors like economics, nationalism, alliance networks and even fate are often put forward as the primary reasons for the outbreak of a war, but the human element, the personalities, the hopes and fears and the particular worldview of the individual leaders of the country are not given nearly as much importance. The writer points out that wars are after all, started by people and to a large extent, the book deals with the lead up to the moment when people finally decide to go to war. The author holds a Ph.D. from Harvard and has taught at Harvard, M.I.T, Columbia and Princeton. He won the Bancroft Prize for his book, The Might of Nations and he has served as acting director for the political affairs division at the United Nations.
“The Awakening” and double consciousness Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening” is one of the most influential yet controversial literary pieces of its time. It is a staple of American Literature and its breaking down of gender roles along with its unprecedented modernist views make it an essential piece to teach in this class. The journey of self-discovery Edna goes through is one that many college students and young adults can relate to; the search for balance between what society asks of us and our personal desires and dreams.

As you can see, there are also many differences between Rash and The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games and Rash are both very interesting books that show us what may happen to our world/ country as we progress at the rate that we are. We may become too controlling and could kill our own people. Or we could become too controlling and question really how safe too safe is. Both Rash and The Hunger Games give us a reality check and make us wonder about our futures as well as our children's' futures.
Chapter 21 discussed how abnormalities of characters are a big sign to show how important they are.
