Louisiana State Capitol

Is the safety of others or the safety of oneself more important? The Hunger games by Suzanne Collins is set in the Capitol of Panem, which has a cruel government and it’s divided into twelve districts. As a punishment for a revolution in the past, the Capitol created the Hunger Games. One boy and one girl are chosen from each district to fight on live television until only one child remains. Katniss Everdeen the main character, changes from a selfish, self-independent girl to a sacrificing…

When thinking of similar buildings, does the US Capitol Building and the Texas State Capitol Building come to mind? If, not they should. Finished almost 88 years apart, it is easy to see that the architects of from Texas were definitely inspired by the neoclassicism that inspired those that created and designed the US Capitol Building. Following in the design of the United States capitol building in Washington D.C., the capitol building of Texas in Austin, brings together balance, symmetry, and…

The men’s inability to empathize with women’s situations and their ignorance to the women’s values cause female characters from both stories to lose important aspects of their lives and personalities, resulting in a deterioration of their states of mind. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Jane’s husband John, in a poor attempt to “cure” her, restricts her freedom and puts her on a “scheduled prescription for each hour of the day” and “hardly lets [her] stir without special direction” (Gilman 75).…

Fire the districts were divided by the type of dragon that lived there and these districts were under siege by the queens. In the Hunger Games the districts were divided by the type of work that was done and they all were very poor except for the Capitol district. In Hunger Games two children representatives from each district were chosen on a yearly basis to fight for their district. In Wings of Fire five different dragonettes from five different districts were chosen to represent their…

A child’s innocence is not an object that be replaced. It is precious and valuable, and should never be tainted. A child is born with a veil of protection from the worst things they can be exposed to. Their innocence is what protects them. They are shielded from the outside world, and saved from the blackness of what they could fall into by the whiteness of the purity that protect them. It drapes them like a pair of fully formed angel wings that cradle them like a delicate rose bud. This small…

Lavvy’s experience at the Capitol is quite out of the typical domestic sphere for a woman and her presence there comes as a shock to many of the government workers, who look down upon her and consistently mistreat her as she tries to find more information about Isaac. To start with…

live within something that could—with the correct obliteration of facts—be considered a utopia. Suzanne Collin’s, The Hunger Games, highlights this point in the way that life within the Capitol has a higher standard of living as the normal than what is found in District 12. Unlike in District Twelve, the Capitol has accommodations that are far more luxurious in comparison, such as those that deal in the way that they take care of personal hygiene. While on the train heading towards the…

And the reason why I think the author choose Allusion is because in this Chapter they are heading to the train station so they can go to the Capitol. And the reason why I think the author Amplification is because Effie is telling Peeta and Katniss in the train what will be happening and thing they will do and people they will met when they reach the Capitol. This Chapter is about when Katniss is saying Goodbye to her family, friends, and people who care about her family and upset…

Avox, is that what I set out to be? Is this what I truly deserve? The privilege of speaking has been snatched out of my 21 year old mouth! All because of a decision I made. Me (Cathesia) and Bennin (boyfriend) had planned a secret sneak into the Capitol due to our financial position. The urge to obtain a lavish lifestyle was at its utmost peak. We could not stand the temptation of stealing from the bakers store, or grabbing items while in a busy market. This is not what we wanted. We packed…

Musicology 123 Paper 1 Starr and Waterman stated that cover songs/cover versions in the postwar era were used to “cash in on the potential popularity of a recording by creating their own (sometimes almost indistinguishable) versions of it.” However, the reason that a musician records a cover song has drastically changed since the late 1940s. Nowadays, musicians record a cover song to pay homage to their favorite musicians and to the musicians that have inspired them. This is exactly why Foo…
