Collin County

Liberation of Ireland The 1916 Easter Rising The Easter Rebellion, was an armed uprising of Irish nationalists against the rule of Great Britain in Ireland. The uprising occurred on Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, and centred mainly in Dublin. The chief objectives were the attainment of political freedom and the establishment of an Irish republic. Centuries of discontent, marked by numerous rebellions, preceded the uprising. The new crisis began to develop in September 1914, following the outbreak

assassination differently than most Americans. I want to stick close to my Dallas roots, and analyze what occurred on Elm Street that day and how the local media covered the event. The Dallas Metroplex is massive, totaling 10,693 square miles, 12 counties, and over 6 million inhabitants. The Metroplex being so extensive, it was unlikely that every citizen and every city reacted to the Kennedy assassination in the same fashion. For that reason, I decided to spread my sights, and focus on three cities

Dallas on the other hand is a city of roughly 1.25 million. When you include Collin County, this population jumps up to 2.1 million total people. As with a large city comes a larger homeless population...or does it? Through research of Houston’s homeless census data, from 2011 to 2016 the population has declined in a dramatic way falling

Could you pull of a guise of love in order to not only save your life but also stop an upcoming rebellion? In this astonishing book, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, this is exactly what Katniss and Peeta have to accomplish with the help of their close friend Haymitch. The failure of this task will lead to an epic adventure through out the land leading to an insane twist ending that nobody could have scene coming. In a post-apocalyptic version of North America known as Panem, this entire story

"The Lottery" (Jackson, pg 163-170) and "The Hunger Games" (Collins, 2008) are both popular pieces of seemingly like, popular literature. Rituals and rules come into play strongly in both stories. In comparing "The Lottery" (Jackson, pg 163-170) and "The Hunger Games" (Collins, 2008) I find that both stories focus strongly on their annual rituals of sacrifice with a scapegoat. "The Lottery" (Jackson, pg 163-170) and "The Hunger Games" (Collins, 2008) have a ceremony, a formal event that brings the town

My two books for this comparison essay are “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. “The Lottery” is about the towns people drawing out slips of paper and seeing who gets the slip of paper with the black pencil dot; whereas The Hunger Games is about Katniss taking her sister's place when she she's called into the Hunger Games and trying to survive in the arena with Peeta in the Hunger Games. This book ends with Katniss and Peeta winning the Hunger Games and the two

Question One: At the beginning of the semester I wrote in my personal information handout that I felt what made the mystery genre stand apart from all other genres was its ability to keep the reader/watcher on the edge of their seat wanting more information. That mysteries are unpredictable, making the reader/watcher stay until the end because they must know the ending. I still feel this way, but my understanding of this concept has certainly evolved and sharpened. First and foremost, the concept

impact or control other people’s lives. Power being defined as the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behaviour of others or the course of events and abuse, meaning the use of something to badly effect or for a bad purpose . Suzanne Collins exemplifies power and abuse in various ways throughout her novel, ‘The Hunger Games’. This intense novel is set in a time period after a rebellion in North America left the country destroyed, divided into 12 districts and being controlled by the Capitol

In The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins expresses two themes. The first one is that we can’t let the government use their power to treat, and use people like they want, they are oppressing them. “At one o’clock, we head of the square. Attendance is mandatory unless you are on deaths door. This evening, officials will come around and check to see if this is the case. If not you will be imprisoned.” (Collins, 16) we can see that the Capitol forces the people to participate in the reaping by threatening

The second oldest form of literature after poetry is drama. Dramas have changed a lot over the years. They use to plays that were wrote to be performed in the theater, and now they are mostly written to be performed in a movie or a television show. There are many dramas today that most people would not considered to be drama. Before reading the information in our text book, I thought drama was basically just a story or movie between people who had problems with each other; but that’s not completely
