Throughout the Hunger Game series, she proves to be a symbol of rebellion against the oppresive actions of the capitol. Katniss "trusts thyself, [her] heart vibrates to that iron string", she does what she feels is right, even if it is not accepted by others because "to be great is to be misunderstood".]]> 2021-02-23 17:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cgonzales7881/x476rbsywi2k6a9z/wish/1232815893 Titanium By:David Guetta cgonzales7881 https://padlet.com/cgonzales7881/x476rbsywi2k6a9z/wish/1233291692 "You shout it out, but
I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up"

These lyrics are parallel from the essay because they talk about being criticized and "voices heard in solitude growing faint and inaudible"; not listening to the rules of socitey.  They also talk about having spoken their mind, but not being understood, similar to Emerson's essay claiming "speak what you think today...you shall sure to be misunderstood". ]]> 2021-02-23 19:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cgonzales7881/x476rbsywi2k6a9z/wish/1233291692 Vincent Van Gogh cgonzales7881 https://padlet.com/cgonzales7881/x476rbsywi2k6a9z/wish/1233327395 Although his work is seen as nothing less than genius today, Vincent Van Gogh was seen as unsuccessful during his lifetime.

Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. Society is ajoint-stock company in which the members agree for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder,to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater, The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance isits aversion." cgonzales7881 https://padlet.com/cgonzales7881/x476rbsywi2k6a9z/wish/1233358158 2021-02-23 19:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cgonzales7881/x476rbsywi2k6a9z/wish/1233358158
