The Capitol Summary

In September 2001, The Novel of Red Dog written by Louis de Bernières was written to tell the wonderful real story of Red Dog who travelled around the world to find his long lost master, John. In February 2011, that Novel was turned into a film written by Daniel Taplitz, directed by Kriv Stenders and produced by Nelson Woss and Julie Ryan. Many people believe that novels are better than films as you can treasure you book but movies use the plot, characters and settings to bring life to the pages.

In 1765, Britain decreed a tax on all paper objects, such as newspaper, books, and playing cards, otherwise known as the Stamp Act. All of these items received a special stamp on them. It was not known what should be done in response among all the eldest Burgesses, except for Patrick Henry. There was a debate at the Capitol, in which Patrick Henry announced his Caesar-Brutus speech. In Colonial Williamsburg, no exhibit fulfils its Historical significance, Relevance to people today, or connection to the motto, “That the Future may learn from the past” more than the Capitol. Therefore, the Capitol should be presented a commemorative coin.

The boy tribute that is from her district is Peeta Mellark who she knew from long ago. Peeta confessed to the public that he loves her and that begins their friendship. Throughout the games, she watches as tributes are killed and a young girl named Rue is murdered. When this happens, Katniss kills Rue’s attacker. This is the first time that she has ever killed a person, so she takes it very hard. Rue was not only Katniss’s ally but her friend, she was Prim’s age and reminded her of her sister. So, when Rue was killed it struck Katniss deeply. By the end of the games she has come to love Peeta back and it comes down to the two of them. They refuse to kill each other, so they decided to eat berries that are poisonous but the capitol has to have a victor, so the capitol announces that they are both victors. When she did this, it was a direct punch to the capitol and it ignited a spark in the people, that began the process of a revolution. After she returns home, she realizes what her actions caused and that is the real reason that she went there. She was destined to be the Mockingjay, or the leader of the revolution against the capitol. She realizes that she is the only way that the people will unite and fight to

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins is good book about how Katniss Everdeen goes through her life on the run from the Capital. After the second Hunger Games, Katniss gets pulled out and brought somewhere she didn’t expect. In District 13 Katniss is along with the rest of the rebels inspired by her. All of her friends that were in the games with her got rescued all except Peeta. Katniss is heartbroken and wants to go back to save Peeta and kill President Snow. Snow is the one that created the games and put her in all of this mess. She wants her revenge. Later on in the book they successfully save Peeta, but he is not what he was. He has been mentally changed in the capital. With Peeta in this state Katniss is hates Snow even more. A friend

In the Hunger Games, one young male and one young female are randomly selected from each District, or town, every year to go into war with one another. Only one of the twenty-four make it back out of the game alive. The mayor announces the chosen ones every year at a ceremony known as the reaping, where he explains the history and purpose of the games. There was a war in the past between the Capitol and the Districts. Since the Capitol won, they hold the Hunger Games in honor of their victory. The story mostly focuses on a specific Hunger Games tribute, Katniss Everdeen, who chose to volunteer for her sister who was originally chosen as tribute. Katniss and District 12’s boy tribute, Peeta, are shipped off to train for the games for a few weeks in order to learn more about how the game is played and how the Capitol actually has a huge hand on who wins depending on their likeability. People who live in the Capitol actually send survival gifts in the games, which is the key to winning.

This building was re-built four times because of the importance of this building. It was burned down three times in Jamestown and once in Williamsburg. It was where all the laws are made and all decisions are put into action. Many historical events happened in the Capitol, like Patrick Henry’s Caesar-Brutus speech and the decision to go to war against Great Britian. I know this building really represents the importance during colonial times, relevance to citizens today and the motto “That the future may learn from the past”. You should mint a commemorative coin for Capitol Building, because the capitol was the start of the United States of

Katniss and Gale went to a meeting. They had to watch Peeta’s interview with Caesar. Caesar had asked Peeta about the Quarter-Quell game and whose side he is on, rebels or the capital? Then Peeta got mad and said he should have saved Katniss and couldn't. He screams at Caesar about Katniss's innocence. Katniss had tried to leave the meeting ,but Coin told her that she was not excused. Then she ran and hid in a closet. Then Gale came in the closet and sat next to her. Katniss was glad they were friends again. She begins to think more highly of the people in 13 and what they've gone through. Katniss went back to her quarters and could not sleep, even though her mother, sister, and Buttercup are there with her.

Katniss has to work on her own to survive at the beginning of the games and eventually her and Peeta work together and win. That is when the end of the movie begins. The end of the movie would start after the games where we get to see the victors. There are scenes of Peeta and Katniss at a victors’ interview and also a scene of Peeta and Katniss being crowned as the winners. Finally the movie ends when Peeta and Katniss returning to their district.

The conclusion of this novel illustrates Katniss’s kindness and the theme of government control. The novel concludes with Katniss escaping the Hunger Games arena onto a hovercraft which is bringing her to a rebel base. Upon Katniss’s questioning, her best friend Gale informs her that her family is safe. Katniss then asks if they’re in district 12 and Gale responds with “Katniss, there is no District Twelve” (Collins, 365). Katniss worrying about her family and her District/home, even though she just narrowly escaped death, emphasizes her kind personality. The government instigating the destruction of District 12, the home of Katniss, illustrates the level of control the government has in their society. The phrase “There is no District Twelve,”

Prim gets chosen to participate in the games, but Katniss volunteers to take her place(22). A boy from their district named Peeta also gets chosen and Katniss realizes that he had given her bread when she didn’t have food for her family. They go to the Capitol and meet their mentor, Haymitch(56), who helps them train, then they go into the arena and battle. Peeta joins up with some Careers, children that trained for the Hunger Games all their lives, and tries to win but then he betrays them. The Gamemakers make a rule change and say that two tributes from the same district can win together so Katniss finds Peeta and helps him because he has been injured. After they are the only two people left the Gamemakers change the rule back to force Katniss and Peeta to fight each other, rather than fight, Katniss takes some poisonous berries, called Nightlock, she found in the arena and gives half of

Women back then didn’t have as much rights as men had , for example in the story “The Scarlet Letter” it talks about a girl named Hester Prynne that was sentenced for adultery and was in prisoned . Another example is the story “The Declaration Of Independence” it talks about “All men are created equal.” and “All men have basic human rights given to them by God.” but never mentioned women about their rights because women didn’t received any rights till later on .

The abstract idea of life cannot be explained by such simple ideas as being animated, breathing, or speaking. Ordinary machines in this century can perform all of these basic functions. The quandary with defining death is not as abstract and elusive as that of life. The problem of defining life and death has plagued philosophers and the religious bodies for thousands of years for one reason; each philosophy or religion has tried to define the meaning of life and death from only their certain perspective. The seemingly appropriate approach to this problem would be to understand the ideas presented in various philosophies and religions and through this knowledge create a new definition for each idea of life
