In one episode, they heard rumors about the Scranton branch closing. Michael wanted to play games to distract people, but Jim wanted everyone to keep working until the rumors were confirmed or denied.]]> 2020-08-30 22:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alcooper1/ykhu4lvaxay4imm9/wish/707563731 alcooper1 https://padlet.com/alcooper1/ykhu4lvaxay4imm9/wish/707563732 Pam is what gets Jim through the boring work day.

Throughout the book he spends much of his free time at home doing these hobbies. This reveals that he is quite lazy because instead of doing schoolwork or playing outside he chooses to sit in a dark room.

Greg refuses and instead goes back to playing video games. This reveals that his perspective is that he doesn’t really care about what his parents think of him, he would rather live life the way he wants.]]> 2020-08-30 22:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alcooper1/ykhu4lvaxay4imm9/wish/707563738 alcooper1 https://padlet.com/alcooper1/ykhu4lvaxay4imm9/wish/707563739  His motives are always a common theme in the books, like how he is constantly trying to become popular in order to gain respect. What often happens is that his popularity usually drops instead. His actions are typically fueled by the idea that if he did some stunt or something grand, he would become popular and impress people.

He's not as talented as the other students so he's not confident in himself. One example is how he was excited about finally figuring out a basic spell. Professor Snape also bullies him constantly and Neville is ridiculed for things that he did not do, which adds to his timid nature.

He knows that his parents are strong wizards who were able to be overpowered. This contributes to the fact that he’s fearful because he is a weaker wizard.

One example is that after Harry “died”, he was the only one who stood up to Voldemort. This shows that he finally fulfilled his motivation to uphold the standards of Gryffindor.

Her motives change throughout the whole story from keeping her family alive, keeping herself alive, and ultimately rebelling against and inspiring change of the government system of Panem. ]]> 2020-08-30 22:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alcooper1/ykhu4lvaxay4imm9/wish/707563751 alcooper1 https://padlet.com/alcooper1/ykhu4lvaxay4imm9/wish/707614462 One internal conflict in The Hunger Games is that Katniss does not know if she loves Peeta or Gale. She is forced to pretend to love Peeta out of survival, but then realizes that she does love him.  ]]> 2020-08-30 23:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alcooper1/ykhu4lvaxay4imm9/wish/707614462 alcooper1 https://padlet.com/alcooper1/ykhu4lvaxay4imm9/wish/707697768 Internally, he was conflicted about whether or not he should kiss Pam, who was in a relationship. He ended up kissing her and then transferring to the Stanford Branch. This also caused problems later in Pam’s relationship with Roy.

The World. Things constantly go amiss for Greg, like when his relationship with Holly just never seems to work out, his relationship with his brother, and how misfortunes, like attending military school, is pretty normal for him. He doesn’t usually change, but he does understand that at times things don’t go his way for a reason.

She kept seeing a different version of her, not being able to sleep at night, and just seeing her past fights in her mind and flashbacks. Sort of like PTSD symptoms. She couldn't let go her problems until the end of the entire show/book 4.
