This is greatly demonstrated in the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins when the main character Katniss Everdeen’s world is shifted upside down when her father dies and when she volunteers as tribute for the Hunger Games. After her father’s death the weight of the world was on Katniss’s shoulders‚ as she had to learn how to provide for‚ and keep her family alive. Her family consisted

The two industries I chose to show examples of negative and positive externalities are Phillip Morris International and the Southwest Airlines. The negative externalities are from the Phillip Morris articles in relation to second hand smoke and health costs associated with smoking. There is over 60 billion spent in health costs. There are 35 billion in medical expenses‚ 20 billion from missed time at work and 5 billion in related fires‚ smoke‚ and odor damage. These are not only for the people that

The Hunger Games is a fight to the death battle consisting of

Hunger Games Description The two words I would chose to describe Katniss Everdeen would be rebellious and strong. She is rebellious in every way when it comes to the broken government that is ruling.
