She is very caring and gentle with her husband. A demonstration of this is that she refuses to abandon him when he goes blind, despite the risk of infection. This not only shows her love for her husband but also demonstrates her lack of fear or her courage at the prospect of turning blind. This is foreshadowing, as later in the novel the inmates discuss what made them go blind. An anonymous voice states “fear struck us blind, fear will keep us blind.” This links back to the fearlessness the wife displayed.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins An allusion is a reference, bored and indirect to a person, place, thin or idea of historical or political significance. The Hunger Games contain many examples of allusion. Example 1: •The 12 districts on Panem must each send one male and one female tribute to the capital every year to die in a battle to the death, a tradition started after a failed civil war. This is an allusion to the story of Theseus and the Minotaur in which Athenians sacrificed seven ale and seven female youths to the Minotaur on Crete after being federated in war. Theseus volunteered to be a “tribute” as did Katniss in the barbaric practice.

Nora loved her children, it was clearly shown when she played hide and seek with them merrily, and that is why she left them. She did not want to poison them as she said in the play, because she is a liar and hypocrite. She did not want the children to be mistakenly led by her. Moreover she wanted the children to be as free as she was when she left the house, and she knew that the nanny, Anne-Marie, would take care of them. Nora is the most admirable character in the whole play.

Overall, my mother has molded me into a better student and young man. Although I look up to my whole family my mom is who I admire the most. Her love for others is amazing. Despite the little she had, we would always be the one to help the needy in our family and around the neighborhood. She is the strongest and most hard working woman I know.
I hope once I figure out what I want to do in life, my mother will be proud of me. My mother’s humbleness is probably the best characteristic about her and I hope to carry that in life. She also has a good heart, she treats everyone in the best way possible and that just shows that they are some good in people. My mother’s accomplishments have meant a lot to me because it shows such dedication and I know that’s a spectacular trait to have while growing up. I’m positive my mother was put in my life to guide me and put on the path that will determine the rest of my life.
The first thing I admire the most of my mom is her ability to love. My mom is the most caring person I know. She is always there for someone who is need of any type of help. Also she can never stay mad for so long at my sisters and I even when we deserve it. She has always been there for me in the most difficult situations I have overcome in my life.
