The Hunger Games (Narritive Piece Test Prep #6)

     In the book The Hunger Games by Suzzaine Collins the main character Katniss changes in many different ways throughout the story. Katniss Everdeen is a 17 year old girl from district 12 this story takes place in the future and a movie is based on the book of this story. Every year in the book one boy and one girl are both selected to participate in the annual hunger games to fight and battle to death against the other districts and each other along this process Katniss sister prim is selected to participate in the hunger games but katniss volenters as a tribute for prim in this process Katniss meets a boy named Peeta he is from there same district 12.
     One of the many ways that katniss changes is at first in the book Katniss is very woried and nervous and scared because she does not want to be  selected to be in the Hunger Games but then she volunters and towards the end she is confident about winning the Hunger Games and she does win it. Katniss changes from having negative thoughts to having positive thoughts and being confident about wining.Katniss then changes again because at first katniss does not know who Peeta is and towards the middle she starts to fall in love with peeta but it turns out it was really just all part of a plan.
     I believe that this story about Katniss and about the way she changes could be related to life because alot of time in life people could be nervous or even worried about many thing and sometimes people may have positive thoughts and negative thoughts which can change when most of this is happening or going on. This is why thoughts may or could change when things are happening.

Please Dont Take My Air Jordans (Test Prep #5 poetry)

     In the poem Please  Dont Take My Air Jordans by Reggie Gaines the main character steals a fresh pair of Jordan sneakers from some one else he then shoots that person and runs with the pair of sneakers. I believe that this poem is mostly abput peer presure because in the begining of the poem this takes place in school and he is saying that he has no money and taht he has to get some new gear soon and he says that his crew is laughing at him and he is wearing old gear and this is how he is being pressured.
     This is another way in which the poem uses peer presure when he shoots and runs and escapes with the pair of jordans. The guy that was shot says "Please Dont Take My Air Jordans" but he takes them any ways and escapes with them anyways. Another way that peer presure is discovered is when he is in school and says my crews laughing at me because im wering old gear. He also says he has no money but its easy to steal fresh gear from the mall. This is some of the ways that peer presure takes place because of what is being done.
     This could related to life because peer presure happens everyday at some point around the world peer presure can also happen in many ways and that is one of the ways that this could be found peer presure also could take place anywhere from school to at home or outside. Many crazy things happen and it could take place in small ways or very big ways in life.

Test Prep # 4 poetry/song lyrics

    I read the poem Hope by Sri Chinmoy and this poem is about hope the main topic on this peom is how hope can keep a person alive and strong the poem also says how hope could keep anyone alive. The poem says how darkness and negative thoughts would disapear as soon as the hope is believed and discovered. The poem also states how much hope could help someone.The poem also gives many examples of why hope is a good thing and not a bad thing. The poem gives more positive feedback instead of negative feedback.

    What I mean and am trying to say because of this is that the peom is trying to say that hope is a good thing when it is stated when it says I am still alive vibrant with life, the black cloud will disapear the morning sun will apear once again. All this is being said with positive thoughts and not negative thoughts and it is also being proved by this.

    My personal responce to this poem is that I agree and this thought of hope in life should be followed and not ignored because everyone in life should agree with the thought of hope and no negative thoughts should be followed by this in any way in life and know one in life should ignore this rule because it is very imporant to follow.
