suggesting that she no longer looks like someone from the ‘Districts’. Again, sacrifice is evident at the beginning of the games. When indecision washes over Katniss she must forfeit her chance of retrieving something ‘good’ out of the Cornucopia to dart away from predators. If Katniss had made an earlier decision, she would have achieved a ‘silver sheath of arrows and a bow’ (180). This may have allowed her to win, however, she had to change tactics because her indecision had been to her…

Costa Rica thanks to a program called Agora at my school. It’s pretty safe to say it was the best nine days of my life. Throughout the week or so, we did everything from hiking to zip lining to helping plant trees. On our hikes, I saw little poison dart frogs, more plants and trees than I think I’ve ever seen in my life, 100-yard-long suspension bridges, and more. Among the myriad of animals I encountered, some of my favorites were the iguanas, toucans, and even a breakfast-snatching monkey. We…

classes based on engine size, brand, and configuration. The Death proof camaro is a naturally aspirated 1979 camaro. The 530 cubic inch powered camaro puts a mean 913 horsepower to the ground before its 125 shot of nitrous. The engine is topped with Dart heads and a C14 guzzling Dominator carb. All this power is transferred to the tires through a turbo 400 trans and 2.50 rear gears. The camaro ran 221 mph and…

The understated work of Haydn’s 95th Symphony displays a variety of uncommon techniques and symphonic devices that create a dramatic yet lyrical work of music. The work is the third of Haydn’s 12 London Symphonies and diverts from common characteristics of Haydn’s works most notably it being the only minor tonality among the London Symphonies. The first movement (of which will be explored in this essay) creates a unique stance among Haydn’s other symphonies, in that the work omits a slow…

Autopsy. Think of the word autopsy. What does it conjure up in your mind? Corpses? A coroner? Dissection? Finality? Now think of the word window. What denotations or connotations does that hold? Visibility? Discovery? Light slanting in from outside? Does the word window remind you of the word autopsy? No? It should.

the crowd was displeased to have a twelve- year-old represent their district. As Elizabeth approaches the stage ,I couldn't bare to let my sister go through with this, before she stepped on to the stage I shout out , “I volunteer as tribute,” and I dart right in front of her to take her place in the hunger games. Elizabeth freaks out and Hansel holds her back as I step on to the stage. The crowd is slight and does not clap they are just silent, instead they just give the three finger salute…

Development of place value Place value and the ten-base system are important foundations of later mathematical concepts. The development of these concepts takes years and is built upon pre-number and early number development. Therefore, the development of place value and understanding of the ten-base system needs to be understood in relation to early concepts. Classifying and patterning are elements of pre-number development that need to be developed as part of numeracy. Classifying helps…
