To Kill a Mockingbird is an amazing book filled with life lessons. It gives the chance to realize how horrible people can be and how injustice can fit into the world. Though most people will leave the book with a different conclusion. It is probably safe to say everyone will have a positive conclusion and a new frame of mind. To Kill a Mockingbird is truly a

Life is tough. We all have decisions to make and consequences to consider. Will we survive? Or will it all come crashing down?

Aside from the fact that being a responsible person is a potent trait to have, being responsible has many benefits such as being triumphant in life and having an adequate reputation.

Katniss Everdeen, otherwise known as the mockingjay or a symbol of rebellion, has started a revolution. She disobeyed and degraded her country's government, the Capitol, on national television by defying its legislations.When Katniss was chosen for the third Quarter Quell, a battle to the death held for the Capitol’s entertainment, she decided that she was through with the Capitol’s ridiculous regulations and so were the citizens of the thirteen districts of Panem. It was common knowledge that the Capitol does not rule their country fairly and they treat the citizens of the districts inequally to the citizens of the capitol. It was clear that the people wanted a change. The Quarter Quell is held in an arena where the contestants are held captive

In a 2006 poll, To Kill a Mockingbird was at the top of the list of books that a person should read before they die. It even topped the Bible. with those statistics, you would think that this is one of the best books that has ever been written. However, I don't completely agree. To Kill a Mockingbird is an average book in my opinion, because the beginning is very slow and there were many irrelevant characters, but it has some very good messages and lessons to learn for kids and young adults.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2 is the least enjoyable out of the four series; it's dull, dreadful, and slow moving. The plot for those who don't know, involves the final assault on the oppressive Capitol by Katniss Everdeen who is played by Jennifer Lawrence and a group of her rebellious victors. Katniss and her team are sent by the rebel leader Alma Coin who is played by Julianne Moore to what seemed to be a typical propaganda mission in areas of the capital already appeased by rebel troops.

The plot follows Katniss Everdeen, a girl who is selected to participate in Panem’s annual Hunger Games alongside Peeta Mellark, after

Katniss and Gale went to a meeting. They had to watch Peeta’s interview with Caesar. Caesar had asked Peeta about the Quarter-Quell game and whose side he is on, rebels or the capital? Then Peeta got mad and said he should have saved Katniss and couldn't. He screams at Caesar about Katniss's innocence. Katniss had tried to leave the meeting ,but Coin told her that she was not excused. Then she ran and hid in a closet. Then Gale came in the closet and sat next to her. Katniss was glad they were friends again. She begins to think more highly of the people in 13 and what they've gone through. Katniss went back to her quarters and could not sleep, even though her mother, sister, and Buttercup are there with her.

I didn’t think ‘Mockingjay – Part 1’ was terrible, but I know a lot of people who did. I can see how that film might lose some people. The third installment in this action-oriented franchise attempted to delve deeper into the dramatic side of the pool, and some audience members just couldn’t swim. I enjoyed the third film, but I do agree that it suffered some growing pains. You definitely noticed the absence of the Games, and that’s why I’m actually more excited to see this film, than I was for ‘Part 1’.
