In the Hinger Games, there are 12 districts that put a young man and girl in "The Hunger Games" in a fight to the death with only one winner. When Katniss and her friend Peta are the last 2 standing, their individualism starts to show. Katniss creates a plan to both kill themselves simply in order to not give the capitol what it wants. Throughout the whole series of the Hunger Games, Katniss sets the tone of being herself, or nonconforming.   ]]> 2018-01-29 05:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225488436 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225489203 "To be yourself in a world trying to make you into something else is the greatest accomplishment.- Thoreau]]> 2018-01-29 05:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225489203 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225490247 "Heaven is under our feet as well as above our heads"- Thoreau]]> 2018-01-29 05:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225490247 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225490280 Wall-E is a critically acclaimed movie best-known for its strong themes.  The biggest theme apparent in the film is the importance of nature.  The film takes place in the future, showing us what the Earth could look like if not taken care of.

In the film, Earth is a wasteland full of trash, and the entire human race lives in a spaceship. Humans didn't take care of the planet.  What Thoreau means by saying, "Heaven is under our feet..." is that the Earth should feel like heaven to us. By saying this, Thoreau encourages us to realize the importance of nature everyday. ]]> 2018-01-29 05:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225490280 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225490953 "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."- Emerson]]> 2018-01-29 05:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225490953 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225491059 Home Alone 3, and all of the Home Alones are the epitome of what the Transcendentalists were trying to stress about self-reliance. The quote I chose also applies to the movie quite literally.  

In Home Alone 3, the title is self-explanatory. The kid is home alone, while criminals try to steal something valuable the kid has. But the kid puts up a good fight. No matte what they try, the bad guys can't quite get their hands on the treasure. Because he's Home Alone, literally he's the only one who can bring himself peace, as the quote form Emerson implies.]]> 2018-01-29 05:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225491059 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225491874 Bethany Hamilton is a prime example of intuition over reason. She was left without her left arm due to a shark attack. But she didn't mind that, and kept grinding. She realized it isn't what other people think of her, but instead what she thinks of herself, or her intuition. She went on to become a decorated surfer. ]]> 2018-01-29 05:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225491874 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225492001 2018-01-29 05:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225492001 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225492300 "What a man thinks of himself, that is what determines, or indicates, his fate"]]> 2018-01-29 05:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225492300 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225492527 Kawhi Leonard, through all his stardom, lives a simple life.  The perennial all-star saves his wing coupons to this day to save a few cents on his favorite food. Kawhi's personality could easily be reminded of the personality of the likes of Thoreau or Emerson.  As Thoreau explains in his text, it isn't the amount of money that may make someone rich, but it's how you can find happiness in the little things that can make you rich in happiness, like NBA star Kawhi Leonard.]]> 2018-01-29 05:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225492527 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225492625 "A Man is rich in proportion to the amount of things he can let alone.- Thoreau]]> 2018-01-29 06:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225492625 19kooptim https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225493120 2018-01-29 06:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/19kooptim/s6b3m0h956vk/wish/225493120
