Cato, a Tragedy

Cato, a Tragedy is a play written by Joseph Addison in 1712, and first performed on 14 April 1713. Based on the events of the last days of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (95–46 B.C.), a Stoic whose deeds, rhetoric and resistance to the tyranny of Julius Caesar made him an icon of republicanism, virtue, and liberty. Addison's play deals with, among other things, such themes as individual liberty versus government tyranny, Republicanism versus Monarchism, logic versus emotion, and Cato's personal struggle to hold to his beliefs in the face of death. It has a prologue written by Alexander Pope, and an epilogue by Samuel Garth.

The play was a success throughout England and her possessions in the New World, as well as Ireland. It continued to grow in popularity, especially in the American colonies, for several generations. Indeed, it was almost certainly a literary inspiration for the American Revolution, being well known to many of the Founding Fathers. In fact, George Washington had it performed for the Continental Army while they were encamped at Valley Forge.

List of The Hunger Games characters

The following is a list of characters in The Hunger Games trilogy, a series of young adult science fiction novels by Suzanne Collins that were later adapted into a series of four feature films.

Main characters

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is the protagonist and narrator of the series. She is 16 years old at the beginning of the first book and is portrayed as quiet, independent, and fierce. She has long dark hair (which she wears in a single side braid), olive skin, and grey eyes, all characteristics of "The Seam" part of District 12. Katniss likes the color green because of her familiarity with forests. Katniss lives with her mother and younger sister, Primrose (nicknamed "Prim"), after the death of her father, who was killed in a mining accident and left her mother deeply depressed, forcing Katniss to become the breadwinner of the family. When Prim is reaped at the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers to take her place. The series then chronicles her efforts to survive the game, using such skills as hunting with bow and arrow, and how her skills significantly impact her and everyone around her. Eventually, her choice at the end of the game to spare both District 12 tributes, as co-winners, change Panem forever, because the districts see her as the symbol of rebellion against the tyrannical Capitol and its leader, President Snow.

Savanni Nukahtaa

Savanni Nukahtaa

by: Ultra Bra

Olen usein vihannut sinua ja synkkiä päiviä jolloin
Olen usein inhonnut sinua ja tyhmiä päiviä jolloin
Paiskotaan kamoja
potkitaan ovia
toisaalta rakastan sitä hetkeä
jolloin kaksi leijonaa
makaa sängyssä raukeina
Savanni nukahtaa iltapäivän kuumuuteen
myös me nukahdamme väsyneet leijonat
Peiton alle apinanleipäpuun katveeseen
keltainen ja okranvärinen maa
se on leijonan osa
se on leijonan osa
Olen usein kammonnut sinua ja kurjia päiviä jolloin
Olen usein ällönnyt sinua ja tylsiä päiviä jolloin
Paiskotaan kamoja
potkitaan ovia
toisaalta rakastan
sitä hetkeä jolloin kaksi leijonaa
makaa sängyssä raukeina
