Upon the revelation that the Hutchinson household has been selected for the lottery, Hutchinson’s attitude automatically shifts. The confidence she once had to be late to the lottery, show up not dressed to society’s standards and dominate her husband leaves the second she realizes she is at risk.

The character's actions are different in both passages. In “Making Sarah Cry” Sarah stands up for the boy who bullied her, but in “The Watsons Go To Birmingham” They don’t stand up to the waitress or anyone that stands for segregation. The theme in the poem “Making Sarah Cry” is Being Different.

As The Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen defies the capital for the betterment of her people, so do many other literary figures. Some of these characters include Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn and Sophocles’s Antigone.

Huckleberry ignores society because he wants his independence and doesn’t want to be held back by anyone. On the other hand, Antigone only stands up to her uncle, the king, because she wants to bury and pay her respects to her dead brother, who rebelled against the city.

She got taken away not because the black people but because Jim fails to see the truth until it is too late. The technique for that scene was high angle camera shot. The angle was low then it moved up high when Rose runs to the fence shows a complete loss of power to have Emily back.

Because his classmates used language to tease them, Barack retaliates by saying “Leave me alone!”

The theme is overcoming obstacles because Ava in the passage was discriminated by her teammates and had to overcome her adversity. The quote “Ava, are you dead? At that the team shed fake tears and sobbed at the fake death,” shows that Ava is getting bullied by all of the other kids on her track team.

At the beginning of the book, Scout wants to pick a fight at the slightest aggravation and is high tempered. One example is when she beats up Walter Cunningham for not having his lunch and getting her in trouble in class. She rubbed his nose in the dirt, but Jem came by and told her to stop.
