  12. Not blended Michaelson argues that Catching Fire is sympathetic to a Tea Party viewpoint. “Like the Tea Party Patriots, the good guys are rural populists, fighting for traditional values, and for freedom from the federal government” (Michaelson 1).

  13. Well-blended Michaelson sees similarities between the citizens of the districts and “the Tea Party Patriots, [since] the good guys are rural populists, fighting for . . . freedom from the federal government” (Michaelson 1).

  14. Paraphrased Michaelson argues that Catching Fire is sympathetic to a Tea Party viewpoint, as he sees some parallels between the citizens of the districts and members of the Tea Party (Michaelson 1).

  15. Integrating countervailing evidence Although Michaelson sees some parallels between the goals of the Tea Party and the citizens of Panem, the overall viewpoint of the novel demonstrates a liberal, populist viewpoint (Michaelson 1).

  18. DOL #26 Mr. J.T. Pereira, my violin teacher, has a poster with this quotation from John Erskine: “Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.” The architecture in Dublin, Ireland, is an interesting blend of old and new; skyscrapers exist harmoniously with well-preserved old buildings.

  20. Some questions to consider while creating your mind map: • What makes a human different from an animal? • What makes a human different from a robot or computer? • Could a human ever be created differently from how they’re created now and still be considered human? • What roles do consciousness, identity, learning, relationships, language, and memory play in being human? • Is there ever a point where someone could “lose” his or her humanity? • Where do humans exist in the grand scheme of things (i.e., in relation to other things in the world)?
