13-21 Reading Review
1. Katniss brings up a good point about how the Career Tributes have been lasting so long in the games. They have a large supply of weapons and food at the Cornucopia. Katniss and Rue come up with a plan to destroy their supplies so that the Careers are brought to a disadvantage for the rest of the games. Katniss decides to fire an arrow towards the strategic piles of supplies made by the Careers which then tears open a bag of apples, causing it to trigger a explosion.
"Say the supplies were gone. How long would they last?....And for the first time, I have a plan. A plan that isn't motivated by the need for flight and invasion. An offensive plan." Pg. 207
2. After hearing the announcement allowing both tributes from the same district to be declared winners, she finds the need to find Peeta immediately and become allies. Katniss uses hints from earlier on in the games to find Peeta's whereabouts. She finds him near the stream concealed with dirt, rocks, and plants. Peeta is suffering big time from the wound Cato has brought to his leg. Because of that, Katniss is playing along with the "star-crossed lovers" act to appear likable by potential sponsors. She plays the role to receive necessary supplies to keep herself and Peeta alive, but deep down she really cares about him. She took care of him and did everything in her ability to keep him alive.
"I know if I was watching I'd loathe any tribute who didn't immediately ally with their district partner. Besides, it just makes sense to protect each other. " Pg 247
"Remember, were madly in love, so it's all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it." Pg 253
3. As Katniss begins sprinting for the bag, she comes face to face with Clove. They exchange a few darting knifes and beaming arrows until a knife hits her in the forehead, creating a gash. As Clove was getting ready to kill Katniss Thresh comes from the back and yanks her away and kills her. When Katniss reveals to Thresh what happened to Rue he willingly spares her life. She accepts the deal and runs back to the cave. In the bag she finds a hypodermic needle.
"Without hesitation, I sprint to the table. I can sense the emergence of danger before I see it." Pg. 283
"Just this one time, I'll let you go. For the little girl. You and me, we're even then. No more owed. You understand?" Pg. 288
4. Katniss' loving attitude towards Peeta begins solely for the games. She sees his tragic condition and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep him alive even if it involves her showing affection. " Getting the broth into Peeta takes an hour of coaxing, begging, threatening, and yes, kissing, but finally, sip by sip, he empties the pot" (pg. 262). Peeta's health is getting worse as the days go by, so in order for them both to exit the arena alive she must manipulate the games. Katniss jeopardized her life to capture the book bag, holding the one thing that will save Peeta's life. "Without hesitation, I sprint to the table. I can sense the emergence of danger before I even see it" (Pg. 283). Without even knowing what's in the book bag, she continues to do whatever it takes to save Peeta's life. At the same time she is doing it all to show the audience and Gamemakers that its all because of love.

A'ole Moanalua
To Whom it may concern,
At a given moment in their lives, students will have to face reality which is planning out their life after high school. Without much knowledge they are given guidance through classes taken throughout the week which, here at Moanalua, we call Career Academic Planning or CAP class. As students of Moanalua, we feel our CAP classes aren’t providing enough to prepare us for the future. Often times we are required to complete work we find unnecessary or have no connection to future tasks. We are demanding a better structured and useful CAP class designed to ensure success in our future endeavors.
Students exiting high school are worried they aren’t well prepared. The National High School Center states that nearly half of all high school seniors feel they lack the skills and abilities to secure non-entry-level jobs. One fourth of them reported to not feel at all prepared for college-level work. The public school system should work to educate students on all levels whether it is standardized testing or deciding on a career, all of which we have no knowledge of.
In the end students should feel peace of mind walking down that graduation aisle, knowing that they were given the tools to do the very best in whatever they want. The only way to do so is for high school planning courses to implement more practical and valuable skills being taught in their curriculum. Many students want to know which colleges best suits them, what careers are available depending on their skills, or what level of degree they need to land their dream job. All these are questions we feel aren’t being focused on enough. An informational CAP class can make a big difference to a student’s confidence leaving high school. As students we deserve a chance at making our future as bright and successful as it can be.
Sincerely,
Anonymous

Macbeth Essay: Final
Everyone wants what they can't have and others will go to extreme measures because of greediness. What is unacceptable is allowing that strong desire control you and transform you into something you never intended to be. Macbeth is an example of someone who let his morals change drastically in the process of getting what he wants. This play by William Shakespeare talks about how an ordinary, loyal, kind-hearted man is attached with a prophecy saying he will become the thane of Cawdor. Macbeth takes advantage of the opportunity to acquire more than what he was given. As the saying goes, "give someone an inch, and they take a mile." Macbeth's morals soon got blinded by his cruel acts, and because of that he did things that never followed his values. Macbeth is a prime example of how it is unwise to allow a change in power corrupt your personal well-being and true intentions.
In the beginning of the play Macbeth showed numerous signs of being a trustworthy man even when faced with the idea of the murder of King Duncan. "Duncan is here on double trust: first, / because I'm his kinsman and his subject (both good / arguments against the deed) then, because I'm his host, who / should protect him from his murderer–not bear the knife" (1.7.9-12). "We'll go no further in this business. He has honored / me recently and I've won great respect from all sorts of / people. This is to be enjoyed while it's new, not cast aside so / soon" (1.7.31-34). Macbeth knows the difference between what is right and wrong and he proves that he prefers doing what is right all the time. Regardless of his morals he is very easily manipulated, especially with his wife. "Can you want the / glittering prize–the crown–yet be a selfless coward" (1.7.38-40). As Lady Macbeth attacks him that he is weak and worthless, he intends to prove her wrong and follow through with the deed. He believes it is possible to not be accused with the death of King Duncan if they act just as surprised and mourn like everyone else. Macbeth is taking actions that are slowly changing the person he is and it will only get worse with time. This one action of simply agreeing with the murder is just as bold committing it himself. It takes dignity to go against your conscience, but for Macbeth it didn't make him a better person.
Macbeth is an example of what you can expect to happen when a change of conscience is brought onto someone. After committing King Duncan's murder, Macbeth immediately felt a load of guilt. "I won't go back! I'm afraid to think of what / I've done. I daren't look at it again!" (2.2.51-52). Macbeth obviously knows that what he has done is completely against who he is and feels horrible about the deed. He continues to remain terrified about the thought of his actions being revealed to anyone, but his wife. Not only did Macbeth kill the king to ensure his power, but he is willing to destroy anyone that knows about his plans or gets in his way, proving that he wants more than simply being king. "To be thus–a king– is nothing. I must be safely thus. I fear / Banquo deeply. in his regal nature, theres a ruling element to / be feared. He's daring." (3.1.47-49) "That's that. Banquo, if your soul is bound for heaven, it will / reach there tonight. (3.1.35-36.) Macbeth, as you can see, is gradually becoming this cruel monster. In the beginning he couldn't bear killing the king, but now he doesn't think twice about killing someone who has been his companion the entire time. His first murder wasn't his last. Macbeth's transformation from the beginning of the story wasn't expected, but it proves anything is able to destroy you when you allow it to.
With all of Macbeth's wrongdoings to gain power he has developed a hatred with those around him. Those who mourn from the crimes he has committed are working together to avenge him. Macduff states, "Bring this / fiend of Scotland and myself face to face! Put him at a / sword's length before me! If he should escape, we'd both need / heaven's forgiveness!" (4.3.228-231). Macduff has lost his wife, children, and servants because of Macbeth. His careless slaughters have even brought the entire nation to go against and rebel against their own king. Malcolm states, "Let's go to the king. Our army is / ready. We need to do nothing but take our leave. Macbeth is / ripe for toppling, and the powers above will find the means. / Take comfort from this fact: It's a long night that has no dawn." (4.3.232-235). Macbeth is no longer the courageous man he was in the beginning. The respectful, kind, and just man is too far lost to restore again. Now the country's army is determined to bring down Macbeth and his actions for good.
The play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare emphasizes how a person can change for the worst when they take advantage of the power they are given. The prophecy crowned him thane of Cawdor, but that wasn't enough for him and his wife. Because of that he allowed himself to travel in a different path than what he had planned for himself. The Universe has a way of keeping everything in check. For Macbeth, he faced something many like to call karma. "They said he died well and paid / his score. And so God be with him. Here comes newer / comfort" (5.7.81-83). Macbeth became a man no one, not even himself, could be proud of. Even though he got what he wanted he couldn't live with himself knowing the risks he had to tackle. The guilt that built up inside him was stronger than his desire for power in the end. So what was the point in everything? William Shakespeare tells the audience that it is better to be happy with who you are and live with what you have than to be someone you aren't just for a rank in society.

4/2 Handout
Part 1
1. In your opinion, is Lady Macbeth a cold-blooded murderer? Why or why not?
I think Lady Macbeth is a cold-blooded murder because she was able to convince her husband to do such an act and not feel an ounce of guilt after it was done.
2. Lady Macbeth has her own antics throughout the play. Why does Lady Macbeth faint in Act II? Does it serve its purpose? Explain.
Lady Macbeth faints on purpose to show that she is just as surprised of the death as anyone else. She does it to draw suspicion away from her and Macbeth.
3. How does Macbeth's attitude toward Duncan change after the murder?
Macbeth instantly felt a great amount of guilt after the murder of King Duncan, but tries to conceal it.
4. If so pressuring on Macbeth, why didn't Lady Macbeth kill the king instead of Macbeth?
Lady Macbeth didn't have the will power to kill Duncan herself because he looks like her father when he is asleep.
