The contestants must kill each other to win and Katniss fears for Prims life. She then volunteers in her place(Collins, pg 22). Throughout the book, Katniss defies the Capitol. She hunts outside her district, sells food in her district’s black market, and wears a mockingjay pin. the pin is directly related to defying the Capitol. Near the end of the book, Katniss and Peeta, the male tribute for District Twelve, defy the Capitol in a most public way(Collins, pg 345). They were going to commit suicide by eating poison berries. This would cause the Games to have no victor. It would be the ultimate act of rebellion done by any couple in Panam. The form of rebellion done by primarily Katniss is a different rebellion than seen in Grease. This rebellion was against a corrupt and powerful government. But, it was still rebellion. The message given by the book about rebellion is: defy corrupt governments and people and, don’t do bad things just because someone tells you to. Pop culture has obsessed over this book, its sequels, and its movies. With obsessing over the book, comes obsessing over the defiance and
Many people think that society has changed so much over the years. That the way that children act, has taken a turn for the worst, but in reality children are learning from their ancestors. Children are lying to their parents, they are sneaking out at night to be with a boy that is “the one”, children are going back into the age of Shakespeare. In the play “Romeo and Juliet” which was written by William Shakespeare in 1597, there are two teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love with each other. These two teenagers try to do everything that they can to live the rest of their lives together, except their families despise each other, so there is no way that they can live the rest of their lives together. So, many people believe that the way that our children are growing up today is taking away the fun parts of their childhood. However in this play Juliet did many of the things that teenagers are trying to do now. Children and sometimes adults now need to realize how your actions not only affect you but also the people around you, you also need to think about the consequences of the actions you make. At first Juliet falls in love at first sight with Romeo, then she takes a potion, which causes her family to think she is dead, and then how Friar Lawrence helps Juliet with the scheming, which shows how adults have to think about others as well.
In the play of Romeo and Juliet the way Romeo and Juliet act towards their parents is astoundingly rebellious and disobedient. Throughout the play both characters lie and disobey their parents. The way that Romeo acts towards both of his parents is so rebellious that it ends up getting him banished. Juliet disobeys her family and the nurse so much that none of them ever have the slightest clue of the plan which ends up killing her. If either character had thought out their actions through the entirety of the play and told a parent what is unfolding, both of them could have lived. The way that Romeo and Juliet both interact with their parents is a web of lies. The way both families feel toward their children is love

She doesn’t want that to happen to anyone else. She rebels against President Snow in plan of eventually killing him to take over the capital and change the world. Teens can relate to this because a lot of the time we feel controlled. It might be by a parent, teacher, grandparent or someone else but all of us are controlled by someone. A lot of teenagers end up rebelling because they feel as if they have no choices. They go against the rules of who they are rebelling against. That persons rules and values are not necessarily right.

Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet is a film that converts Shakespeare’s famous play into a present-day setting. The film transforms the original texts into modern notions, whilst still employing Shakespearean language. Compared to Franco Zeffirelli’s adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, Luhrmann’s picture is easier for a teenage audience to understand and relate to because of his modernisations. Despite the passing of four centuries Shakespeare’s themes of love, hate, violence, family and mortality remain the same regardless of the setting.
