The Hunger Games: Character




The scene that I chose was one of my favorite scenes from The Hunger Games. In this scene Katniss's sister Primrose gets chosen to participate in The Hunger Games. As you can see the look on Primrose's face, she is very scared and shocked. Katniss sees that her sister has been chosen and volunteers as tribute.






I believe that this is a good representation of a character because you can see how brave Katniss is. Katniss knew that she might not make it to the end if she volunteers. You can also see that Primrose is very special to Katniss. Katniss will do anything to protect Primrose because Katniss believes and knows that Primrose will not make it to the end of The Hunger Games. I think that it was very smart for Katniss to protect her sister like that.

Remember The Titans: Specificity


  




  Remember the Titans has always been one of my favorite movies, I have seen this movie so many times I have lost count. This movie is based on two schools in Virginia during the 1970's. One black and one white school are suddenly closed and they both become one big school. There are many conflicts in the beginning of the movie, but when the movie plays out, they all start to relay on each other. In this scene, Gary just got into a car accident and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Julius is has suddenly realized how much their relationship has grown from this point.





   I like this scene because it can influence so many people. No one should judge each other based on race, sex, or age. This scene makes me feel both sad and happy. Sad because I know that Gary will not get better at all. Happy because they will always stay friends until the end. Gary and Julius hated each other in the beginning. However, they overcame their problems and became really great friends.
