hope is the belief that something will get better .

rebellion - to fight against something, protest, upraise, usually against government.  

symbols of hope - katniss, melodic, mocking jay, 3 finger salute.


                                                     struggle for power  

currently, the Capitol has power - president snow. 

-Katniss becomes a rival for power - people look up to her for guidance, become a threat because snow sees her as one. 

hope is the only thing stronger than fear. a little hope is effective a lot of hope is dangerous.

fear - the people are afraid of rebelling because the last time they tried they failed and they were punished with the hunger games.

little hope - becoming a victor. 

dangerous hope that the districts deserve to be treated better. 


                                                  power of propaganda

natural selection

  explain a scenario an animal might find itself in where a random mutation makes it better at surviving

if an animal is venomous like some snakes or spiders or If it has big teeth like tigers and lions or big feet like kangaroos

Why wouldn't the giraffes grow longer necks just because the trees were tall?

because random genetic mutations caused some giraffes to be born with long necks and that gives them a higher chance of survival than the ones who don't have it

What needs to happen for a gene to become more common

the transfer of genes between populations as migration or between species in gene transfer evolution occurs when these genes become more common
