In-Text Back in the planning room, Cressida presents her plans, “There should be another propo in that with the theme „Because you know who they are and what they do.‟ We‟ll focus on Katniss interacting with the patients, particularly the children, the bombing of the hospital, and the wreckage” (Collins 108). The appeal to emotions continues with the exploitation of the hospital massacre. Fulvia also presents her ideas of more propos , “I was thinking we could do a series of propos called We Remember . In each one, we would feature one of the dead tributes. … The idea being that we could target each district with a very personal piece” (109). They get Finnick, another former Hunger Games victor, to narrate the We Remember propos.
In-Text Despair is the result of losing hope for repentance and reconciliation with God, what professor of English at the University of Oregon, John McCloskey calls, “a defect in faith” and “the sin against the Holy Ghost” (110-111). The gospel of Matthew says, “Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (KJV Matt 12:32).
In-Text Richard Harp, professor of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Robert Behunin of Utah State University, both agree that the Renaissance inherited from classical and medieval thinkers the notion of wonder that Aristotle described: that wonder must move the mind to further philosophical inquiry and contemplation of greater matters, more than just an inarticulate emotional response to great things (Behunin iii, 211; Harp 295).
In-Text In the height of his self-centeredness, Samson falls, “having succumbed to the temptation of the flesh, Samson is no longer in charge of his Self” (Shawcross 8).
