Personal Narrative: The Hunger Games

In chapter 5 of the novel Night, it seems to have been the scariest part of the book so far. It has great detail and the author wrote it well. He described everything and made us seem like we were there living it with him.

Secondly, all contestants in the Hunger Games and reality shows are forced to play a part in order to come out the victor. The most prominent example of this is when she pretends to love Peeta to win favour with the audience and get sponsors – and worked spectacularly. It ultimately saved her life in the Games. This is similar to when a person on reality television is nice to someone so the latter will vouch for or protect the former. Another way to play the cameras, found both in the Hunger Games and reality shows, is to pretend you are weak, so people think you are no threat at all. Katniss recounts a Hunger Games in which the victor did just that: “This worked very well for a girl, Johanna Mason, from District 7 a few years back. She seemed like such a sniveling coward that no one bothered about her until there were only a handful of competitors left. It turned out that she could kill viciously. Pretty clever, the way she played it.” People on reality TV do that all the time. A player on Survivor

I was born in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. Although you may assume that I possess a lot of traits of a stereotypical “Latina” I do not. I wasn't raised in a big family. It was just my parents, my younger brother, and me. I was raised by an engineer and an economist both of whom have always encouraged the idea of creativity, curiosity, and innovation. Traveling is big part of my life, and helped shape me at a very early age. Along with traveling came moving to the United States, which made it hard not to reflect on identity and heritage.

I didn’t learn how to read until 2ed grade.Beacuse parents divorced my dad would take me to school some days and my mom would take me others. Little did I know my mom would drink and get high after I went to bed at night. In the morning she would sleep in with a hangover so I got dressed and ready on my own. She would not wake till 11:00 so I would play dolls and watch cartoons all morning. Because of this, I missed about 30% of grades K-3. In 3ed grade me and my dad and stepmom learned of my moms addiction. I stopped seeing my mom for a long time. During that time I discovered the joy of reading. I started later than the others so I ended up at a low reading level but once I learned to read, well, I never stopped.Stories are

“Starry Night” is one of the most popular canvasesin modern-day philosophy along with being one of the most simulated and pursued after images. This painting was done by Vincent van Gogh when he was at an asylum in Saint-Remy in 1889.It is said that this painting is a view out of Van Gogh’s asylum window. The painting shows swirling clouds in a starry night and a bright crescent moon, overlooking perhaps a village. This shows a contrast between the bright night sky and the silence of the village which is supposed to be Van Gogh’s hometown Netherland. The painting also consists of a cypress tree which is typically found in graveyards . This might have something to do with the artist’s perception of the inevitability of death and how close

The cheer of the crowd and the laughter of the kids in the air were the only things reminding me that it was just a game. Eight and a half innings, seven pitching changes by both teams, twenty-seven runs scored in all, and we were still losing. The sweat came dripping off my nose and forehead like melting ice. My eyes stung, and I could barely keep them open due to the bright rays of the sun beating down on the dirt and grass, the baseball diamond seemingly larger than it had been eight and a half innings ago. My coach’s whisper rang through my ears. “Only if you think you can,” he said so softly that I had to almost lean in to hear what he said. I was on third base, with the winner of the game was being decided by one out. We had made

The trailer door fell in front of me and made a thud as it hit the grass, suddenly the dark trailer was lit and my horse was illuminated, as he began calling out. I undid the “butt bar” and walked into the trailer. When I got to my horse, I took the coarse leadrope into my hands and untied it from the old rusted eyehook wedged into the board in the corner. Each step backwards off the trailer brought us one step closer, quit possibly into the beginning of the rest of our show lives together. I looked at Bailey, he threw his head up like a sports team throws up their fists at victory, and I gave him a solid nod.

One example why you should sponsor me is i'm ruthless. In the past game’s the champion has always been the ruthless one who wins all of his fights. I am the most ruthless person in my whole district. A couple months ago I qualified for a karate fighting tournament versing third cue to second dan. I was knocking down

Finally, all my reasons tell you why you should sponsor me. Being athletic, fast, and well skilled in combat are indispensable in the Hunger Games. I will never be wince in the games with all the skills I have and mastered. Since, half of these tributes are way too petrified of the thought of killing, gives me a bigger advantage than you think. So sponsoring me in the best option you have for this years Hunger

You could hear the crowd cheering, the coach screaming for a play to be made. Each player on the court running low on breath as the games clock was coming to an end. The score was 37 to 35 the home team was going to lose but they had the ball in their hands with only one shot left. The ball went hard into Sean’s hand as he realised that he was open on the 3 point line, this was his chance to win his team the game, to bring home the win. Sean took the shot and as the shot went up the horn blew as the timer finished. It was over, the home team had lost and with it Sean’s dream of basketball.

If you don’t sponsor me you are going to waste your money because I have the best chance of winning the hunger games. That means if you don’t vote for me it will be the most boring hunger games you have ever watched and I will win. Some people might say don’t sponsor me because i’m tall, but i am good at Boxing, Throwing knives, and Camouflaging myself so sponsor me I am a definite win.

My stomach churned like a whirlpool as I stepped onto the field. Today we were going to play our first game in the flag football tournament that Mr. Bentley, the elementary school PE teacher organized. LSU, our team, versus UCLA, our opponents. Mr. Bentley even had us choose college football team names to make it more fun. I quickly strapped the flags along my waist, following my teammates example.

It was a sunday morning. My dad came into my room to wake me up. So i got up and got dressed. My mom said to me, “there is a horse show today.” I replied back, “ok are we going to pick up Stu on the way there”. My mom said yes. So i went outside and helped my dad hook up the trailer.

My primal interests are about humans’ cognition, and its uniqueness. In the other words, I am interested in cognitions of both similarities and differences between human and other animals, especially social animals. Compared with animal brains, humans have larger neocortex than animals, and this allows human to have more complex cognitive ability than other animals. However, there are many similarities between human and animal brains, and this allows animals to be more sensitive with certain sensory such as smell and sounds. In addition, some animal species have their own community, but they do not have the language like humans do, and so I am interested in how their communications proceed.

The term Sufism is a very broad, paradoxical term because it has many connotations placing it within the wider sphere of polemics is a somewhat difficult activity. From the view of Islamic theologians, tradionalists and Non-Islamic scholars have much debated the areas of Islam, Sufism and mysticism. In this essay, the meaning of Sufism and the meaning of Mysticism, and whether the two complement each other or whether they are in fact, complete opposite. It will also be discussed whether Sufism has a Mystical element if it fits into Islamic religion. An analysis of what Sufism means to a Non Muslim reader will also be examined and how a Non Muslim reader views Sufism in the modern world of today. So what is meant by the term mystical? The word itself is derived from the Greek
