Through the motif of sisterhood in The Hunger Games, Collins develops the theme that family, whether natural or adopted, is essential for survival.

In the arena, Katniss finds strength from thinking of Prim and forms an alliance with Rue, who reminds her of Prim. However, Katniss also acknowledges that family cannot always be protected, as shown by her reluctance to have children due to the dangers they might face.

The document discusses the film The Hunger Games and analyzes it through various genre and narrative theories. It finds that the film has elements of several genres including science fiction, action/adventure, and drama. The film follows classic narrative structures described by Todorov and Propp involving an initial equilibrium, disruption, and new resolution.

Most notably, the film subverts gender stereotypes through the strong female protagonist Katniss Everdeen while also exploring representations of masculinity, femininity, sexuality, and power.
Tone and Mood
Mood is the atmosphere or feeling created in the reader by a work of literature through elements like setting and diction. Tone is the author's attitude toward the subject, shown through stylistic choices like word choice, syntax, and imagery. Mood describes the reader's feelings, while tone reflects the author's perspective. The terms are often confused even by professionals, so it is important to understand that when noting "tone words" from books, one is actually identifying words that contribute to the overall mood.
Transition Tools
This document discusses how to smoothly transition between ideas when writing or speaking. It provides examples of pickup lines that make connections to draw someone's attention. It also explains how writers can use transition sentences between paragraphs and linking words within paragraphs to connect ideas.

The Inquiry & Writing Process: An Analogy
The document provides an analogy comparing the research paper writing process to quilting. It suggests that just as quilting involves selecting and assembling various quilt pieces, writing a research paper involves gathering and organizing evidence to support a thesis.

It then provides directions for students to follow the inquiry and writing process, which involves reading articles, taking notes on supporting and contradictory information, and revising the thesis as needed before outlining the paper.
Writing: Frame and Explain
This document provides guidance on how to effectively incorporate quotations into academic writing.

This document provides frequently asked questions and answers about thesis presentation requirements. It recommends including title slides, a thesis statement slide, goals/objectives slide, multiple subtopic slides, transition slides to connect ideas, wrap-up slides to review main points and solicit questions, and a works cited slide. Sources should be cited in-text and on the works cited slide. Presentations should be between 5-10 minutes after practicing. Videos should only be used if necessary and must be introduced, analyzed, kept short under a minute, and cited. Presentations can stand out by engaging the audience, using visually appealing PowerPoint as support, acting professionally, and doing something different but relevant like bringing artifacts or doing a demonstration.
Productive Searching
This document provides tips for conducting productive searches to find relevant sources for a research paper. It recommends searching for sources that are related to your thesis, reliable, and recent. Databases and library catalogs are suggested as they contain vetted sources.

A Day In The Life of The PowerPoint Puppies
Lily and Lloyd were asked to create presentations for an English class. Lily followed best practices by including a title slide, outlining her content, using bullet points and large readable text on slides. She enhanced her presentation with cited images and a clear design. In her wrap-up, Lily summarized her main points and asked for questions. Conversely, Lloyd's presentation lacked a title slide and structure. He included too much small text on slides and did not properly cite or select images. His wrap-up simply stated "The End" without summarizing. The document suggests students follow Lily's example for creating effective presentations.
Themes: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

The Harlem Renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance was a blossoming of African American culture from 1918-1937, especially in literature, that sought to define black identity and heritage apart from stereotypes like minstrel shows. It was precipitated by the Great Migration of African Americans to northern cities like Harlem, where new social and economic opportunities fostered racial pride. The Harlem Renaissance laid the groundwork for modern African American literature and influenced the Civil Rights movement. Important contributors included poets Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen and author Zora Neale Hurston.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Motif/Theme in The Hunger Games
- 1. Sisterhood and Family in The Hunger Games Mrs. Skotnicki
- 2. Motif and Theme Through her motif of sisterhood in The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins develops the following theme: family, whether natural or adopted, is essential for survival.
- 3. Protecting Those We Love “I protect Prim in every way I can, but I’m powerless against the reaping” (15). Katniss does everything within her power to protect her little sister, including volunteering in her place. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NVWC1SIv6Qs/Shlh_H4jrkI/AAAAAAAAAZk/dAJRoKUlqHs/s400/The_Hunger_Games_by_damnskippy.jpg
- 4. Inspiration “You will try, won’t you? Really, really try” (36)? Prim asks Katniss to fight to win the Hunger Games. http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs47/i/2009/226/7/c/The_Hunger_Games__Mom_and_Prim_by_ayestephxx.jpg
- 5. Finding Strength “My thoughts turn to Prim… For her sake, I try to look as least desperate as I can” (169). Knowing that Prim is watching pushes Katniss to play her part better in the Games. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9uN1hVuxlvo/THFo_ujKioI/AAAAAAAABKg/Vgc9WaOlLjM/s1600/the+hunger+games.jpg
- 6. Extended Family “Because she’s a survivor, and I trust, and why not admit it? She reminds me of Prim” (201). Katniss sees a connection between Rue and Prim. Their alliance helps her to survive the Games. http://aspiring-x.deviantart.com/art/Rue-The-Hunger-Games-174704562
- 7. Love “But if this is Prim’s, I mean Rue’s last request, I have to at least try” (234). Katniss conflates Rue and Prim, reminding the reader that Rue and Prim play a similar role: both motivate Katniss to do her best. http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/16600000/Katniss-and-Rue-the-hunger-games-trilogy-16625081-1696-1824.jpg
- 8. Worth the Risk? “I know I’ll never marry, never risk bringing a child into the world. Because if there’s one thing that being a victor doesn’t guarantee, it’s your children’s safety” (311). Katniss acknowledges she may not always be able to protect her family. http://www.fantabzulous.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/The_Hunger_Games_by_briarthorn.jpg
- 9. Analysis of Theme Through the motif of sisterhood, Collins illustrates how family isessential for survival. Katniss’s family is dependent upon her to survive, butKatniss also derives strength from them, pushing herself beyond what she believes she’s capable of. However, part of the strength of this novel lies in the fact that Collins does not settle for a Hollywood ending. During the Games, Katnissquestions the risk of bringing life into such a bleak environment. The reader understands that family, while powerful, cannot protect against every antagonistic force. This leads to another one of Collins’s themes, the necessity of resistance against repressive regimes.
