his once energetic self now morose. /But Caesar Flickerman is still alive./ "Flickerman," you say, unsure. After all, you were sure that he had died during the rebellion, but you're sort of glad that he didn't; that's one less person, even if a Capitolite, dead. "And our lovely Katniss Everdeen." You aren't sure if he's trying to mock you or not, and don't want to risk asking. "How did you survive?" you ask instead, wanting to keep his attention focused on you. "Why don't we talk in my…

As children we were taught the good and the bad. We were taught to be good with others, to say please, and thank you, but more than anything to be honest. One of the biggest most unacceptable matter was to lie. We could not lie, no matter how big or how small it was, it is still considered to be bad, but what if one lie could turn to be something good. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, a true told story, Elie a young teenager trying to survive the Holocaust tells how he lied to a…

society to them in order to rescue them from savagery on the island. When the boys make the fire that keeps going down and not making smoke, “Life became a race with the fire… [and] even the smallest boys… [bring] little pieces of wood” in order to help pitch in (Golding 41).

If he does come out of the coma, he will not be the same person and they may have to have continuous care for Ricky for the rest of his life. With the second decision, they are choosing to let their son die, which is…

Many times dreams stay irrational possibilities of doing something. Yet even the craziest of dreams still hold a glimmer of hope. Throughout my childhood an interest in recycled crafts began to stem. I thrived on the idea of creating art with garbage. For years I imagined constructing a recycled dress to attend the junior prom. I never let go of my hope, and on January 24, 2014, at the age of fourteen, I made the first step toward completion. That day the first pop tab was woven into a strand of…

suffer a great deal from living in a hospital for a prolonged period without any chance of getting cured. For example, terminal cancer patients might have to get through a number of medical procedures not to improve their conditions but just to try to keep their lives longer, which causes them a lot of suffering until they die. Second, the costs of treatment for terminally ill patients are prohibitively high, which can impose a heavy burden on them and their families. It doesn't seem…
