think before you act essay

When you read the book, you see that every decision and every choice is about survival. In the start of the book right after Katniss’s sister Prim were elected and Katniss took her place, all Katniss thinks about after that is how to act in front of the whole country, so the others does not think she is weak and a coward.

My last example to support the idea of coming of age means taking responsibility is when you have kids and you are

People in today's society do not want to be looked at as weak especially by family members or friends. During the time within The Things They Carried it was not any different, men did not want to seem weak for trying to avoid war.

Have you ever been stranded on an island with only your friends and no adults? In Lord of the Flies, a plane with a bunch of English schoolboys crashes on a deserted island, and they have to figure out how to survive on their own without any adults until someone comes to rescue them. The boys were not used to this new environment without adults and they had to go through many changes that were sometimes impossible and very hard to get though.

am against abortion for a couple of reasons. I believe adopting instead of aborting is a better decision. Abortion is murder. Condoms are available and inexpensive.

leadership. These styles are very complementary of each other, both favoring community based leadership. The two parts of Tao leadership I think I want to embody better are appearing foolish and warrior, healer and Tao. For Covey the two things I want to continue to work on in my leadership style is seek first to understand, then be understood and think win/win.
