If Johnny had seen his mother, he and she would have a large talk about the things that have been happening with him and why he had killed bob the Socs. I think Johnny would have been seriously mad and wanting to maybe cuss his mom out that he isn’t a baby. His mom would want to be near Johnny and not stop worrying about him. His mom would probably say, “Why didn’t you take care of your smoking habit. I was worried about you and you should have called. You are not a grown man yet. Now look where you are. In bed for life.” Maybe Johnny would tell his mom that he doesn’t know if he was gonna make it and that he feel nothing below his waist.

Extreme Sports

      Young people should be allowed to do extreme sports. Extreme sports give opportunities for kids and kids don’t get hurt unless they put themselves is danger.

      Extreme sports help to not be bored. Instead to test their abilities and to use it for other purposes. Jamie Burr, professor of exercise physiology, says “It’s the opportunity to escape boredom, test their abilities, and overcome fears”. Kids want to do this, they want to take it to the extreme. Kids want to achieve their own goals. As he said, children want to escape boredom.

      Another reason is Extreme sports only cause damage if the child puts himself/herself in danger. Jamie Burr also says” A doctor wouldn’t suggest that a person injured or killed in a car crash should have anticipated the accident because he or she was engaged in an inherently dangerous activity”. Even in public we make mistakes is what he was trying to say. Accidents would only happen if the child would try something dangerous. The coach knows what he is doing a knows when the kid puts himself in danger.

      Van Sabesan, associate professor, says” we found that more than 9 million such injuries occur between 2001 to 2011” However Jamie said in his article, ”risk is a fact”

      In conclusion we have two sides; either take a risk for your child to be something he wants to be, or leave him at home playing videogames. Jamie says, “Risk-free activities deprive young people of the opportunity to test themselves.

      

Defiance in Catching Fire

  Defiance is an act that is an opposing force. In short it means to go against something. In the book, Catching Fire, there are many acts of defiance. Here are 4 ways of defiance in the book.

        On page 242 of Catching Fire during Katniss has here private session hung a dummy of Senieca Crane. Katniss did it to “show them that I’m more than a piece in there games.” This shows she’s done letting the Game makers and Snow control her. She wants to remind Snow that she beat the system last year.

        Another act of defiance was when Peeta painted Rue’s body covered in flowers from his 1^st games. This was on pg. 240. In the book it says” Actually, I painted a picture of Rue, Peeta says”. This is an act of defiance because he is reminding Snow and the Game makers they are responsible for her death in the last games.

        Another example of defiance was when the tributes from each district held hands in unity. This was on page 258 it says,” Up and down the row, the victors began to join hands”. This was meant to be an act of defiance because Snow wants the tributes to be enemies. The capital sees them as humans not a piece in there games.

        The 3^rd act of defiance was when Cinna turned the beautiful wedding dress, Snow picked out, and turned it into a mocking jay. He made the dress by adding wings and when she turns around she turn on fire. He did that because last year she was the girl on fire. This is an act of defiance because the dress back fired on the capital. This was on page 252 and it says,” I lift my long, flowing sleeves into the air, and that’s when I see myself on the television screen. Clothed in black except for the white patches on my sleeves. Or should I say wings. Because Cinna has turned me into a mocking jay.”

        In conclusion I think the most defiant act in these 4 was when the tributes held hands in unity. This is the most defiant because they have enjoyed seeing tem kill each other in the games. No the citizens see that they should stop the Games
