Paragraph.

In the reaping scene, Costume are used effectively to show the thme of Rich v Poor. We see this when the people of Dirstrict 12 are waiting for someone to be chosen to represen their District. The lifestyle of District 12 is reflected in the clothes that they wear. These clothes are made from limited material therefore they don't have lots of materials. Making their clothes dull, old-fashioned, boring. This makes us understand that there is a superioty between Katniss and Effie due to their clothing representation. There is a difference between the oppourtunitunity, power nad privilage between the District 12 and The Capitol. The director did this to make the viewers realise the developing theme "Rich v Poor" is growing through each characters's costumes. Costumes can also symbolise the inequality between the Capitol and the Districts. This symbolism combined with a wide shot of the crowd in District 12 and an over the shoulder shot of Effie reveals the lack oppourtunity in district 12 and the power of the capitol. This aspect can bet contrasted to  the character of Effie, she wears a bright pink outfit that has a lot of design behind it revealing the opportunities given to chracters in the Capitol. 

What Am I learning?

I'm learning how to write a S.E.X.X.X.Y in custome form.

How does this show my learning?

This shows my learning through the pragraph since it shows my understanding between the custumes and the themes relating to it.

What am I wondering after learning this?

How do we write a good S.E.X.X.X.Y paragraph or make the previous paragraph better.
