Write about a time when you've volunteered (or seen someone volunteer) to take someone else's pain or punishment. What did you think at the time? How did it affect you? If you haven't seen it happen, why do you think that you've never seen it?]]> 2017-09-21 20:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/189940230 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115716 One time I was doing a fourth of July parade, and my friend Nolan and Aiden threw candy directly at kids. A young boys father came up to us while we were still in the truck, and said, "Which one of ya'll hit my son in the head?!" My friends grandma is pretty strict, and i didn't want them to get in trouble. So I took the blame for all the candy injuries. My mom got so mad at me, that i got grounded from all electronics for a month. My friends thanked me a million times (or at least it felt like it). They payed me 20 dollars each, and I was grateful.

When we were at the homeless shelter there was a lot to do. The first thing I did was organize baby clothes. I put baby clothes on hangers and color coded them and put them in the right sizes. The next thing I did while I was volunteering was putting prices on all the items like shirts, hats, pants, toys for kids, and home decor. When I was volunteering it made me realize I was sacrificing my time for others.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115842 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115848 The time I saw someone volunteer to take someones place was when my friends and I were in Dallas at a soccer tournement. My friend Kaylee dropped her phone and cracked the screen. She started flipping out and didn't know what she was going to tell her mom. Her younger brother saw the whole thing happen. later in the day Kaylee's mom asked why she didn't text her back (it was because her phone completly stopped working) before Kaylee could answer her brother said "it was me I dropped her phone and it cracked and stopped working." When we got home her brother had to pay for part of the cost of a new phone. Then was grounded. That's when I saw someone volunteer to take the pain from someone else.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115848 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115855 I have never sacrificed anything for anyone. One time when I forgot to bring my folder to school my sister went to get my folder, since she got my folder she was almost late to class. At the time I thought that i would get in trouble by my teacher, but my sister brought my folder so i could turn in my art project on time. This affected me because if it wouldn't have been for my sister I would failed art. This taught me that I need to be more responsible. This is like how Katniss volunteered for Prim. If Katniss didn't volunteer for Prim, Prim would have been in huge trouble. ]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115855 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115868 I haven't ever volunteered for something like that nor have I ever witnessed something like that. I think the reason why I haven't is because I usually don't end up dangerous situations where I've had to cover for someone or witness someone else sacrifice themselves like that.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115868 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115871 I have never sacrificed like Katiniss did , but i am sure she felt pain. I would feel pain if i were her. I have taken up for somebody before when they were getting bullied , but that is all. I have seen sacrifice in movies. I don`t think I have seen it in real life before. To sacrifice something you must be very strong and brave. You have to be doing it for the right reason, and not for yourself I think.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115871 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115873 I have never seen someone volunteer for someone else's pain. That's probably because people tend to focus on themselves. They only care if it's them suffering not anyone else. People don't care enough to sacrifice themselves for others because they are selfish. I'll admit I do this too. Everyone is guilty. It's okay. We were raised like that. I think what Katniss did has a big part on the story. The reader will probably be really fond of Katniss because of what she did. What she did for Prim is a very rare thing for a human to do. What she did is basically sacrifice her life because she knew she would get killed. Or so she thought. Prim obviously didn't want Katniss to go because she did want to lose her sister. Katniss refused because she is so kind and generous. No one will evre forget what she did.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115873 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115883 One day this girl got in major trouble because of something she did.So someone decided to take the blame for her because she was a really good girl.The girl who took the blame did get in trouble,and the girl who did it was really happy but stressed out at the same time because she knew that she did it and it was not the best thing to do.but also the reason why people don't really like taking the blame is because people need to learn from what they did wrong.People have diffrent pain so why will they take someone else.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115883 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115888 In 5th grade, I was asking my friend a question in the hallway, and she got in trouble for talking. I told the teacher that I was the one talking and to write me up instead of her. I was really scared to get a write-up but I knew I did the right thing. The teacher was amazed at what I did, so neither of us ended up getting a write up. I think this experience made me more brave and that I should always do the right thing even if it will get me in trouble. ]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115888 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115889 One time my uncle sacrificed his life because he helped out a bunch of homeless and he almost died. I really like helping out other people.I felt really happy and i know that i mad a lot of other people really happy.It affected me because it changed the way i thought about a lot of things and it made me be more great full about everything that i have.I know that a bunch of people are su ]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115889 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115899 I watched a Naruto Episode where a dad took sacrifice for his son. It was really sad, but really heart touching. This affected me because, My dad has actually took punishment for me and had to fix an expensive black crystal vase. My punishment would"ve been three swats and a payment of 1,000 dollars cash, but instead i got one swat (due to reasoning with my mom) and my dad paid the money. My dad was my hero from then on out. So the next time I do something I"d make sure to not watch that Naruto scene again because it brings back memories. ]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115899 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115901 I have never seen this happen probably because it doesn't happen often. Someone who takes the blame for something must be brave. Katniss was brave when she volunteered for her sister at the reaping. She must have liked her sister a lot. Anyone who volunteers for something must have a kind heart and like the other person they are volunteering for. Sacrifice also might mean volunteering your life. Or it might mean they chose you to volunteer your life. It could also mean you just sacrifice your time.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115901 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115909 i was at school and me and my friends were outside hanging out when someone had the great idea that we should go and run around the halls before class and graffiti on the walls with paint. i said we shouldn't do it but everyone else was all for it. after awhile i decided to go and check the halls for teachers as i walked down one of the halls one of the teachers that was there saw me. and i ran for it. i made it to my friends and told them to run they all run except m e i knew someone had to take the blame and i knew my friends would be grateful as the teacher rounded the corner and they saw all the paint covered walls i pretended like i didn't see her and she ran over and grabbed me to take me to the principle. ]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115909 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115912 when i was 6 my mom sacrificed her life to save me. we were in the room and a robber came into the house. it was me, my mom, her friend christian, and her two daughters ivy and eden. we herd someone trying to open the door. my mom was very anxious and told me, ivy, and eden to go lock ourselves in the bathroom. the man broke into the house and injured my mom severely. this event effected me by knowing that today could be your last day. my mom taught me that doing things for the people you love can be worth it in the long run. if it wasn't for my mom i might not have been here today to be retelling the story about how courageous my mom was and how she would have done anything for me./]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115912 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115914 I cannot think of a time that I ever saw someone volunteer to take someones pain. This maybe because, people can be selfish. I have never been in a situation, where I could take someones pain, but if it was someone I loved and cared about a lot, then I would most likely to it.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115914 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115916 I have never seen or done myself, sacrifice there life for someone else like Katniss did for Prim. I think the reason for that is that today is that people worry about  themself more then they care about anyone else.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115916 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115918 I have sacrificed some things to help my family but not things that are as important as Katniss's sacrifice for her sister Prim. I think the reason I have never really seen a person sacrifice something is because the world today isn't very consequential when you do something that should be against the rules. So, I think that the people in our world today kind of compare to the people in the Capitol. They don't think there will be any consequences just like the world today.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115918 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115927 I've had to make a sacrifice before. It wasn't some big " I'll trade my life for yours" type of thing. My brother had some anger issues at the time and our cousin was annoying him. He decided the best thing to do was to choke her. When I realized what he was doing I literally kicked has butt. He turned around and tried to punch me. I blocked it and grabbed his arms until he calmed down. Later, he got in big trouble and was grounded for two months. My cousin thanked me when it was really no problem. I don't know if it was really a sacrifice, but if it was I didn't sacrifice much. ]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115927 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115929 I have never seen someone volunteer or take someone else's place i think I have  never seen this because no i know has been in a bad situation in the book Katniss is making a sacrifice for her sister and i think that will make her stronger and she is going to fight for her life.]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115929 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115945 I haven't seen someone sacrifice them self for someone else. I think this is because if the world was a terrible place it would happen all the time, but the world isn't a terrible place and if someone had to sacrifice them self for someone else then the world would see that and change it. If someone did something that would make people sacrifice them self for other people then that just means they need to think about what there doing and change it. People should know anyway to not do those things so some one sacrificing them self would be not that offen and sometimes even rare ]]> 2017-09-22 13:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115945 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115983 I have never seen a sacrifice i think why i have never seen a sacrifice is because none of my friends have been in a sticky situation. Or i'm never around that kind of stuff.

I think it's because the world is a terrible place. The world or more specifically the people in the world aren't very kind right now. I do believe the world can or will change but we, the people have to make that change. I want people to sacrifice themselves for people they love. Like your brother for instance if he did something wrong but did not know then maybe you should take the blame. That should teach him a lesson. Unless it's your older brother or sister. They should know what's wrong and what's right. I have sacrificed myself for my brother. He got in trouble for something he didn't know about. So I took the blame.]]> 2017-09-22 13:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190115991 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190116053 Sacrifice is something people see so rarely.It's something that is strange and somewhat heroic. I remember one day I was in class and I was so nervous because I never finished the assignment i had due. My teacher got very angry and was repetitively asking for an excuse , but i didn't have one. Then all of a sudden a boy ran up to the teacher and said '' it's my fault I was bothering her all week , and she never had time because of me. I'm so sorry.'' I was super suprised because that boy was messing with me all week and so I ignored him ,l so i guess he felt bad and took the blame. I told the teacher he didn't because I felt bad , but he insisted. He got me another week on my assignment , and we became friends after that. He was pretty courageous doing that.]]> 2017-09-22 13:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190116053 https://padlet.com/mdixon6/sacrifice1/wish/190116321 I was at the softball field in San Antonio and I was in the All Stars tournament. I hit the ball to the fence,as i ran around the basses. My chest heaved and I could not breath. I finally made it to third,and then i stopped.The pitcher threw the ball and the catcher missed the ball, and their I want.
