does something that rarely ever happens in district twelve - she volunteers as tribute. By volunteering, she is sacrificing her life for Prim, her sister, who was supposed to fight to the death in the arena. To add, on page 32 Katniss has a memory moment back to when she was younger and her father had just died about a month earlier. The quote on page 32, “To this day, I can never shake the connection between this boy, Peeta Mellark, and the bread that gave me hope,” shows that before the games there
Hello! This was the second time for me at Cinco Ranch as part of the Staff Exchange. During the visit I had the opportunity of meeting Annapoorna Rao and share our views of University Branch Library and Cinco Ranch (since she was in the exchange last December). It was good to see that we both appreciated similar things about the services we provide in the library. I observed that since my last visit, Cinco Ranch has eliminated the reservation process of study rooms and that they now have

The article titled “How to help kids overcome fear of failure” by Vicki Zakrzewski made me think about failure in a new light. I chose this article because it is something I still need to learn myself. It is easy to think, “ I will be able to help coach my students about failure and help them see that it is okay to mess up and not be perfect”! When I have to take my own advice that is a different story. I do not take failure well. I have always put a lot of pressure on myself to succeed and hate
thought away. “I’m ready! We can go now,” Hiccup announced, coming from nowhere. Surprised by his sudden arrival, Astrid jumped. She almost fell, but bounced back just in time, ashamed. “Astrid! You sure you’re okay?” the brown-haired boy asked. “Aha yeah, I’m fine! Let’s go try this leg!” “Okay...” It was his turn to consider his girlfriend as strange. She was truly acting odd, but anyway, he was too enthusiastic to take care of it right now. So, they left and went to said nearby island. As to
most of all, grateful. Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”, adapted by Israel Horovitz Scrooge teaches readers that you should not determine your prosperity in money, but by what you are blessed enough to fill your life with. From multiple memory moments, we see that Scrooge comes to learn that riches should not be determined in cash, but in the things and people you spend your time with.

The author uses a Tough Question to illustrate this theme when Simon first speaks up about the beast, saying that the beast might not be physical one, but rather a beast within the boys. Later, Golding uses an Aha Moment to confirm Simon's belief when The Lord of the Flies is met. The Lord of the Flies tells Simon that the boys had brought out the beast within them and we can see the truth in this since Jack and his group had become more blood thirsty and savage
overwhelmed, yet intrigued me. My desire of developing the ability to discover deeper meanings in texts made me determined to work hard and improve in English. As the year progressed, I noticed my dedication paying off. I was starting to experience the “aha!” moments that I had been striving for, more and more while examining literature. Being able
Since my early years, I was pushed into engineering because I excelled in math and science. I took an interest in bioengineering but my heart was not there. It was just a placeholder but I was not truly passionate about it and to me that was unsatisfactory. I wanted to change my major, but to what I had not known. Going into my junior year, I was afraid my time was running out. My whole life changed when my counselor asked me,” Spanish 3 or AP Psychology?”. Having already taken two years of spanish
