My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am seventeen years old. Twice I have been in the Hunger Games, I have obviously won both times, for there is only supposed to be one victor. The first time it was my fiancé, Peeta Mellark, and I. This time it was us and several others, some of them, along with Peeta, are in the Capitol being tortured for information on the rebel plans. Only one of them could know anything, but they're keeping them for more than that, they want to break us by keeping our friends captive. It's working, but not for long, a group of rebels are going in to get Peeta and the others and bring them back. They might all die, it would be better than being held captive. Maybe . . . maybe not. I don't know anymore, this is too confusing.

Starting in elementary school I would pick up a book that intrigued me and read it through without ever setting it down. My reading habits got worse(or better depending on how you look at it) once my parents bought me a Kindle and gave me the means to purchase a book whenever I wanted to. Ultimately, my kindle led to some problems at school because I stopped paying attention in class in order to read.

This is the raw, intense story of The Hunger Games and my conclusion on it. This story is written by Susanne Collins, this story is about 12 districts who are all ruled by the Capitol, the capitol has many different ways of punishing these districts. One of the many ways the capitol punishes these districts is by having them select two tributes from each district male and female to fight to the death until there is one winner in an event named The Hunger Games. My thesis statement is that people are being desensitized to violence some examples include: How the capitol’s remorse level is extremely low for the pain and suffering they have inflicted on the people within these 12 districts another example is how the capitol is always in full control

Standardized education is a practice that has been present in our current system of education for approximately one to two centuries. As such, many elements of the education system do not “play nicely” with many of the values held outside of “school life” today, such as the values presented in our schools that belong in an age of industrial factory workers, where following directives exactly as provided was critical to success. Additionally, as there are unique variations between two different students, standardized education may jeopardize the learning potential for particular students that need specialized learning environments in order to best take advantage of their time. A major shift in standardized education practices needs to occur,
