In this scene Rue's death was unexpecting to the audience as they were unaware she could die so fast throughout the movie. The emotion scene shows how Jennifer Lawrence's character reacts in this situation as if we were in that atmosphere. Katniss gathers up flowers to lay around Rues corpes. Lining them up one by one, color by color, size by size her cheeks are drowning in her own tears. This makes Katniss realize that this isn't pretend anymore.

Rich vs Poor - Effie trinket is dressed nicely while Katniss is dressed is well worn, run-down cheap clothes, they had the privilege and big attitude, Effie is immune to reaping. 

Struggle for power - It shows that Katniss does not get what she wants and isn’t in control, as the Capitol chooses for them/her. 

2-3 Sentence - In the reaping scene, we are shown that Effie, shows she thought that everyone was going to be excited about the reaping but instead everyone was depressed and miserable. She kept looking at the crowd as they were laughing or smiling at her when she talked. 

Paragraph - In the reaping scene camera angles and shots are used effectively to show the theme rich vs poor. In the scene Katniss volunteers as tribute in place of her sister, to fight in the hunger games. The comparison between the wealth of the capitol represents by Effie and the poorness of Katniss is seen in her in the wide shot of the people gathered at the reaping. A close-up shot of Effie revels quality, colorful make-up, and costume. The wide shot of the crowd is used to that they are forced to show up and stand there. The wide shot also shows a lack of color in the population of District 12s material and costume to shows they are poor.

Commercial Patterns - Textiles

 In textiles we've been learning about commercial patterns. At the back there are different types of sizes and list of what was needed for the clothing. We first tried to understand what those things at the back were about, then we measured our body to see what our sizes were. While choosing our project we went with the long skirt.

With the template, we traced the outlines of it then cut it out. We are now currently waiting for the fabric to be ordered.

Introduction -

Technology has had a massive change compared to ancient history. Such as papermaking, printing, gunpowder and the compass all have had a big impact in the Han dynasty from 206 B.C-220 A.D. The way how people are using technology isn’t how they used them back then. The kind of materials they had back then was all they had so they had to use what was there. Ancient China went to hand made technology to automatic robots. 

In China, they have four great inventions. The compass is one of the earliest tools in the world and was invented during the Han dynasty. This navigational tool was used with a copper spoon and lodestone that can move freely. Many airplanes and ships are still using today’s compass for navigational purposes. Today's compass comes in many different shapes and sizes, pocket-size or gyro. The compass allows where to direct even if something is in the way. 

In china’s history, gunpowder is called ¨Huo Yao¨” meaning flaming medicine. Unlike paper, printing, and  gunpowder were accidental. Alchemists were playing around with chemicals and materials when they mixed sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. The benefits of gunpowder were for entertainment. Mainly cultural events required gunpowder. Also, many events were created from gunpowder. The huge improvement of the invention of gunpowder helped build a better society for China. Today's gunpowder firearms are limited primarily to hunting, target shooting, and bulletless. 

The first people to invent paper were the Chinese as it was made from the bark of the mulberry tree. They would be broken down into and bashed into a thin sheet. As they knew more about making it, they soon used materials such as hemp rags and fishnets and swaying it around in the water until they got a clump. China's ancient paper was rarely used for maps or to send a message to the other villages. Now, paper had many uses such as toilet paper, packaging, wallpaper, books. 

The earliest form of Chinese printing relied on blocks cut from wood. They would carve out the shape, or written text in the block and copy it onto paper or cloth. Today’s technology lets you print anything from a device to the printing machine. 

In conclusion one of the oldest and largest countries in the world, has provided us with different inventions that have changed the way of mankind. Their inventions have impacted us greatly from the inventions of paper, printing ,gunpowder and the compass with many more still to come.
