AJennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games: Catching Fire

All hail Katniss Everdeen of The Hunger Games trilogy. If you are the mother of a pre-teen girl, you will know the whispered relief around these films. "About time. Go!" If you would like your teenage daughter to see something other than the underclass sobbing on a crass talent show, orange twentysomethings Botoxing themselves, or girls who are just "naturally thin" and who giggle when their clothes just drop off, then you will already know about them. If, like me, you simply would like to see a young woman not defined by her relationship to men, crack open the pick 'n' mix.

Clearly I am not alone. Nor is my youngest. Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, has had the fourth biggest box office weekend opening in history. Ever since the first film came out, my daughter read the books by Suzanne Collins and we have a shrine to Peeta, Katniss's fellow contestant.

The books are neither warm nor easy, but then dystopian futures of totalitarian states (Panem, as it is called) only work when they're not so far from the imagination. In The Hunger Games, the rich and powerful control the Capitol and dress in grotesque Gaga-ish costumes while the poor live out in the Districts and are treated with increasing contempt.

This is a police state where "peacekeepers" kill and torture. Hegemony is maintained by giving them very little – that's why Katniss learned to hunt illegally – but staging huge spectacles: each District is "reaped" to find two people who are chosen for the televised Hunger Games.

So this is a satire on the kind of TV that its target audience watches. The games are a brutal contest to kill every other contestant. It is the logical conclusion of reality TV: survival of the fittest. At the centre of this is Katniss, played by the sparky Jennifer Lawrence, who is seen on red carpets in apparently awful outfits. What do I know? Every time I read these gown-downs, as I call them, I like the ones the fashionistas hate (Bjork wearing a swan being my all-time favourite). We have seen Lawrence being chatted up on camera by sleazoid Jack Nicholson, who, to be fair, is only three times her age. And we have seen her lose it in front of the paparazzi, screaming: "Stop. Stop. Stop." So she isn't just acting cool, she is cool and aware that she wants to keep her body healthy-looking, not a size zero.

The obligation to be a role model is daunting and modern. I can't remember wanting to be anyone other than Mr Spock and David Bowie. The female bit is blank – my memory is only full of girls I did not want to be or never imagined I could be.

Since then, we pretty much have a roll-call of politically correct heroines, but still have to go some way back to find tough, independent women, from Linda Hamilton in Terminator to Sigourney Weaver in Alien, or Tarantino's fantasy of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Japanese cinema has produced some magnificent female characters, and, of course, we rewrite the "final girl" of the horror genre: in which, after several women have been raped/killed/tortured, the final girl turns the table and survives.

Lately though, for teenage girls, we have had Twilight's mopey and passive Bella Swan. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is long gone, so to see Katniss (more akin to Neo in The Matrix) as resilient and smart and reluctantly becoming a symbol of a revolution is quite something. Guys fall in love with her but she really has better things to do: the uprising. Unlike Russell Brand's fluffier talk of revolution, the movies do not shy away from the violence and executions that accompany the suppression of dissent, with the great Donald Sutherland's watery eyes conveying pure evil as the president.

Sure, Katniss is an idealised fantasy anti-authoriatarian heroine. She is also confused, stubborn and vulnerable. What she isn't is either "girly" or interested in riches. She makes her bow and arrows to bring down the system. Nothing is said about gender. She is taller than one of her partners and it's her physical and mental prowess that we root for.

"The Selling of Joseph" was written in the 1700s. Which sentence best states the historical significance of this article?
Nuetrik [128]

The sentence that best states the historical significance of "The Selling of Joseph" is: B) This pamphlet calmly disputed the claims that had been made in favor of slavery and provided ordinary citizens and abolitionists with arguments explaining why slavery was wrong.

"The Selling of Joseph" was the first anti-slavery tract published in New England. In it, Sewall condems slavery and refutes many of the era's typical justifications for slavery, warning people of the dire punishment awaiting to those who buy slaves.

Read the following narrative prompt:
bonufazy [111]

Answer: Making weekly meal plans helps me buy only as much food as I will need and can use before it spoils.

Explanation:

The options include:

a. I grow my own tomatoes and herbs in pots on my balcony.

b. I will write about learning how to make homemade soups and stews that use up leftovers.

c. Making weekly meal plans helps me buy only as much food as I will need and can use before it spoils.

d. Everyone should call and lobby their local legislators to change regulations that force restaurants and grocery stores to throw food away instead of donating it to shelters and food banks.

The answer to the above question is "Making weekly meal plans helps me buy only as much food as I will need and can use before it spoils".

The first option is incorrect as it didn't specify or relate to the essay as nothing was discussed about wastage.

The second option is wrong as the option was about the use of leftovers to make soups. This is wrong because the thesis should be about how to reduce wastage.

The third option is correct as making weekly meal plans will help in the reduction of wastages.

The fourth option is wrong as this will even lead to more food being wasted.
