Hunger Games (03/20/15)
Hunger Games is a book about a society, with a government that countrols every move of the people. The government spreads fear by a holding a series of horrific games called The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a series of games held every year and two kids from every district are chosen and are put in arena where they fight to the death, last one standing is the winner. They are chosen by random and are always children. The entire community comes out to see the games.
The Hunger Games is much like The Giver because the government controls both societies and both take place in futuristic after war settings. Both have many laws and lots of people to enforce all of those laws, such as the peace keepers in The Hunger Games and thought police in 1984. Another example is when Catness tries to rebel she rebels and gets the goverments attention and is seen as a threat. In 1984 Winston is seen as a threat he is then threatened with rats and beaten untill he starts to think like everyone else.
Hunger Games is also very different from 1984 because 1984s goverment controls their society by brainwashing but Hunger Games controls there government by using fear.They are both very diffrent because at the end Winston stops trying to rebel but at the end of Hunger Games Catness still rebels. The two are also very diffrent because 1984s government had stricter rules and people where more afraid to break those rules.
Over all both books have many diffrences and many simerlaritys but they both have two main characters one rebeling against there highly powered goverment and one blindly following even though they both have very diffrent endings.

Essay 3/10/2014
Poems about parents can be deep or playful. Of course this all depends on the poets point of view and their experience as a child, but no matter what emotion the poem gives, it usually means something to the poet. Something as deep as child abuse or as playfull as simply dancing with your father . "Those winter Sundays", by Robert Hayden and "My Papas Waltz", by Theodore Roelhke are both great examples of the many differences and this is what I'm here to discuss.
"Those Winter Sundays", by Robert Hayden is about a poem appreciating what people do for you instaed of taking it for granted. This poem is about a father who wakes up earlt in the morning to make a fire for his family. As it states in the first stanza, My father got up early and puts his clothes in the blue black cold". This show's his father wakes up before dawn. This demonstartes how much the father sacrifices for his family. At the end of the stanza it says the following, "No one ever thanked him". This supports the theme idea. In conclusion, this poem is more deep than playful.
"My Papas Waltz", by Theodore Roethke is about loving your kids in ways that they will understand at a young age. This poem is about a man and his very young son dancing and having fun together. As it stated "Then waltzed me off to bedstill clinging to your shirt". This supports my theme idea, because his son hung on to his father's shirt and it shows how much he loved his father. His son loved him so deeply he didn't want to let him go.
In conclusion these two poems are different because they both talk about a father's love but in the first poem 'Those Winter Sundays", by Robert Hayden shows that when fathersshow their love in nonabvious ways they get no recognition. In the second poem "My Papas Waltz", by Theodore Roethke is about all of the love he is getting from his son because his father has shown him signs of obvious affection.Over all both poems have very diffrent ideas but they both talk about the value of a fathers love.
