- More powerful and popular- everyone knows who she is now
- Beginning- caring for her sister, shy, quiet, strength in hunting/archery, shows caring and selfless when she volunteer for Prim in the reaping, values family
- Middle- when she enters the games- determined, cautious- runs away and hides, smart, doesn't kill unless she has too, still see she is caring and looks after others, doesn't want to use her skills to hunt others, she watches people die- her reaction is big, forms an alliance with Peeta which makes them favorites and her popular in the Capitol because she was going to end the games with no victor, intimidating,
theme linked to-
Hope & rebellion- starts by following the Capitols rules but by the end she stops and rebels against them.
rich vs poor- not a good choice
propaganda- she goes against the propaganda of the Capitol they are fighting for glory, the capitol- they are fighting for glory, the capitol is superior, the games are a good thing
struggle for power- in the games she was powerless, eventuality she gains power over time
Thesis Statement:
In Gary Ross's film, The hunger games, one way that Katniss changed was by gaining power and influence in the Capitol. this is shown through he struggles with the themes of hope and rebellion

Method: 1. Light your Bunsen Burner
2. Hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. Ensure you are holding onto the very tip of the magnesium
3.place the other end of the magnesium into the Bunsen flame (at the top of the blue flame)
4. When Magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can permanently damage your eyes
Observation: a bright light was presented
Discussion: The Magnesium when we put it in the fire it would burn the magnesium and turn it into magnesium oxide, this would make an bright light
conclusion: it worked because it made a bright light

Child Trafficking
Who does child trafficking affect, What is child trafficking, When did we first discover child trafficking was illegal, Where is child trafficking, How do child trafficking people hide, Why do people do child trafficking.
Child trafficking is when people kidnap kids or teenagers to sell or to make them work as slaves, forced labor and exploitation. This means people are still doing this and think it is ok to be selling and keeping them as slaves, the even kidnap them just to have a laugh. This mostly affects children and the child’s family, they have to call the police or wait for a call about a ransom (a call for a bunch of money to get there child/children back) sometime they don’t get their children/child back, this is because they might not have the right amount of money to give them or are to scared. When they made child trafficking illegal in 2000, this happened because children were being kidnapped and taken or sold to other people for money sometimes they could be sold for over 1,000 dollars. Child trafficking is all over the world, most of the child trafficking happens in Thailand and India is two of the top five countries where child trafficking happens the most. Child traffickers usually hide in normal homes and act like the people around them, like nothing has happened, the house usually has a basement so they can put the child in it to hide them. People do child trafficking because they might need more money to pay off their debt or to just have fun, they also might be getting back at someone because they said something or did something that affected their life.
The hunters swoop
It was a gray sky with the outline of white and patches of blue, a miniature mountain that is covered with a low gray cloud. A low hanging cloud mixing with a tall mountain, there's little snow that can be seen but enough to catch attention. There was a wide asphalt road with two lines of yellow, they have been repainted to make it more visible and a little bit of black to go with the gray worn road. His paws was getting tired so he stopped in the middle of the two yellow lines, when he saw the view he was breathless, he got up and continue his journey to a water hole.
Many dark logs stand up in orange leaves that has recently fallen from them, they seem stable and able to hold a human. There are tall thin trees leaning to the left and right, they might fall, moving the orange leaves around them. A dark deep puddle waits for an truck to run threw it, there are little bits of orange leaves that has swept there way into a pond. I was waiting for my friend to hop back into the truck so we can dive the truck into the puddle, he was taking a beautiful picture for our other friends that didn't want to come with us.
Under the banks of the small hill there sat water that hasn't been disturbed by any living creature, the water moved slowly as it ripples. Above the trees are a glimpse of a mountain, the top of the trees are the shape and color of broccoli, the banks are a sandy white and has rocks sitting in random places. By the swimmer, there are bubbles from him swimming and there is disturbance from the swimmer as they make small waves in the water. During the splashing I saw them make splashes in the water and making the fish bolt away from the movements of the swimmer.

Smoking, good or bad?
when you smoke, you put over 5000 chemicals in your body such as CO which kicks O2 from your red blood cells that bringing O2 to your lungs. it can damage your sense of smell by numbing the external nasal branches or nerves.
You will almost become back to a non-smokers state, but you will have a higher risk to have a heart attack. 1 of 3 people that die from cancer is from smoking, which is horrible...
Yes and no, vaping does have it's benefits such as, not as much nicotine as smoking so you can stop easier, but it can have some of the same affects as smoking.
