The hunger games

   In the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins we are introduced to our protagonist, Katniss Everdeen. She lives in a country called Panem which is broken into 12 districts. However each year the capitol of Panem host an event called the hunger games. Which means for every district 1 boy and 1 girl must be drafted they to fight in a arena for their life. Katniss younger sister Prim was selected but instead she volunteered as a tribute to take her place.
   I think that Katniss has a unselfish way of thinking. Shes trust worthy, Responsable , and last but not least she is a leader. For example she's only a teenager, and hunter who puts food on her family's table. Ever since her father passed away shes the one who has been feeding her family. All in All she is unselfish.
     I Can relate to this story because i seen my own cousin go threw this. His father left him when he was little with his sister. He has carried out his family by working very hard and supporting his family.

Segregation

 I recently finished  reading the picture book “The Sneetches” by Dr. Suess.  The story is about sneetches which is creature called a Sneetch. Their are a bunch of sneetches but  some sneetches have stars on their bellies and others do not.  The “Star-Bell” Sneetches think that they are better and are worth more than  starless Sneetches.  They really wanted stars on their bellies and so they did  after a businessman named Sylvester McMonkey McBean who has a machine that removes and replaces the stars on the Sneetches bellies.  After McBean leaves with a whole bunch of money, the Sneetches realize that it was not worth all the money they wasted at the end they realized no Sneetch is better than any other Sneetch.

            I think that the stars on the bellies of some Sneetches represents race or some type of physical characteristics .  A line that got me thinking was, “Those stars weren’t so big.  They were really so small.  You might think that such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.”  This made me think of racism because our color shoudnt be a thing people should judge us something that small shouldnt be a problem. 

            I think that message that was shared was we might not all look the same but we are special and in some way were all the same. Another message is that no person should put people in groups that make them feel more or less than themselves. Most of this book was about the segregation of the sneetches.  All in all i think no one should be offended or offended someone else cause of their physical characteristics. 

 This relates to the world because lots of people get offended  for little things that shouldnt even matter like skin color hair shoes clothes and etc.

The Lorax

I currently finished reading "The Lorax " by Dr.Seuss is a book about a greedy business man. He wanted lots of money only for himself . He started to make lots of money on sweater that were using up trees. More and more people started to want the sweater so the greedy business man was in alot of business gaining lots and lots of money. The more business he made the more trees were being used. Until one day he was out of business because there were no more trees he had use them all. The theme of this book was we need to keep our environment safe and to protect it and not put it to waste . 

I think that it is a bad idea to use up all our trees because if we dont have trees we wont have oxygen. Without oxygen we wouldn't be able to live. I think this could be our future we could use up all our trees on paper that we all use every single day in school and pencils so i think we should be grateful and maybe limit the trees we knock down every year. This doesnt only effect us but the animals they want a safe environment just like us so lets change that.

The message in this story is strong because the greedy business man was brained washed by the money that he really didn't know what he was doing to the environment. He basically was destroying the environment but didnt notice. The other message was not to be selfish and only think about yourself but also the consequences. All in all the book thought the readers about consequences and selfishness.
