After that she returns to District 13 to discuss what is to be done to take down the Capiol.

BQ: First Steps

Do video games help us?
Many people say that video games are bad for us and we shouldn't play video games because it is a waist of time. I would have to say that it helps us.
I am going to get the information to find out if playing video games helps us by Google searching it. I am also going to go to technology web sights and see what they think about it. I will also ask people if they think video games helps us and compare how many yes's and no's I got.

Big Question

I am going to post two questions because I don't know which ones to use.

1. Does Big Foot exist? Many people claim to have seen one but it has never been proven.

2. Do video games help us?

The medium is the message

After watching the movie I discovered that the movie is not that different from the story. In the story the Schoolmaster Crane does not beet the kids in class. He actually just hits the desk very hard with something and it gets there attention. Also in the end the Headless Horseman just scares him a lot and leaves him to run alone in the forest.
