    PNP or paranitrophenol is an organic compound that undergoes changes when the pH is manipulated of the solution. PNP is also an acid/ base indicator. The compounded starts off as internal conjugated ring with the hydroxyl group and the nitro group single bonded to the aromatic ring. This occurs at the pH of 5.

The negative charge lies with one the oxygen atom that is a part of the nitro group. This lead to a highly conjugated system. If a system is conjugated the compound shows the presence by giving off a color. In PNP the color change is most visible at the pH of 10.…

    Katniss’ designer, Cinna, knows that in order for Katniss to be remembered she has to have a unique costume from the other tributes. He does this by creating an outfit that represents the industry of her district in a way that it has never been represented before. "Coal miner thing's very overdone. No one will remember you in that," (66). Although Katniss' outfit makes her stand out from the other tributes, they do not resemble her. They are superficial and she is dressed in a way to entertain the Capitol and raise her the amount of sponsors. This furthermore strengthens the importance and value that the Capitol places on appearances rather than hard work, effort, and talent that District twelve…

    The narrator’s name is Sammy. He is called this name by his boss as he his ringing up a customer. He is a very observant young man and this clearly shown by these two quotes “She was a chunky kid, with a good tan and a sweet broad soft-looking can with those two crescents of white just under it, where the sun never seems to hit, at the top of the backs of her legs.” and "this one, and a tall one, with black hair that hadn't quite frizzed right, and one of these sunburns right across under the eyes, and a chin that was too long -- you know, the kind of girl other girls think is very "striking" and "attractive" but never quite makes it, as they very well know, which is why they like her so much”.

    The 60's are not without reason called “Golden Sixties”. It was not only a time of relative peace and economic growth, but also a phase of rebellion in the youth, which questioned the way of life and beliefs of their parents. It was a time filled with music, miniskirts, sexual freedom and drugs. At that time, Joyce Carol Oates created her works, in which she talked about ordinary everyday affairs, giving them a specific dark climate fueled by the second bottom. A short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been" was written in such climate.…

    This poised man portrays his wealth and confidence through the features of his face and clothing. The skin on his face is soft and smooth like a baby’s bottom. As strands of hair brush the side of his cheeks, they glide right off so gracefully by his skins smoothness. Though skin so soft and smooth with no blemishes to be found, except around his eyes, this many carries a masculine square jaw that reminds us of the Crimson Chin, from the kids TV show Fairly Odd Parents. He comes from a wealthy society, wearing a satin jacket and a silk scarf under it. The reserved clothing crawls all the way up to…

    Hunger Games Narrative

    Since this is a unit that is focused around The Hunger Games, the reading portion of the lessons is rather obvious, as students need to read and comprehend the book to be successful. They are also asked to read various articles and interpret texts in order to respond thoughtfully and appropriately to discussion and writing topics. Since the reading aspect of language was covered, I tried to focus on the importance of incorporating the remaining three language skills – writing, speaking and listening – while creating this unit. I did this by paying special attention to ensuring that discussion and dialogue were abundant to allow students the opportunity to not only share their own ideas but also…

    As the speeding train pulls into the Capitol’s station, the tributes are greeted by cheering, waving citizens, treating the tributes likes adored sports players instead of the victims they are. The games, which through this scene can be inferred, that the Capitol has come to practically worship. Each tribute was another body to speculate on and root for during the televised games. Because of the Capitol’s love and enjoyment of the Hunger Games their senses were clouded, and they were unable to see the dismal experience the tributes underwent. The Hunger games was an entertaining, television show for the Capitol, not a death match amongst children. While the Capitol looks upon the tributes with adoration, the viewer of the movie develops a twisted…
