Undergraduate / 'under the influence of a great many characters' - Fictional character [9]

Yes, a bit melodramatic, even ignorant. But if you'll excuse this, as I was only a child.

These are both fragments and I think i would sound better as: Yes, this was a bit melodramatic, but excusable as I was still young.

programmed in such a way. But come on!

Same here: programmed in such a way, but come on!

Other than that, this is an amazing essay. I am just a little jealous.

Undergraduate / 'Katniss Everdeen was plunged' - Claremont McKenna [4]

Okay, I know I'm cutting it close, but is this what they're looking for? I asking about content more than grammar... Thanks!

Leadership is a constant theme and emphasis at CMC. In fact, one of the ways we describe CMC students is "Leaders in the Making." Choose someone, fictional or nonfictional, historical or contemporary, whom you consider to be a leader. Suppose you are this person's primary advisor. How would you advise this person and why?

After being rescued from the 75th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen was plunged into a shattered world. She hated every person she came into contact with, aside from a select few. She was presented as a symbol for the rebellion in order to overthrow President Snow and the Capitol. While her position required a large amount of leadership, no one she trusted survived to help her make decisions as leader of a rebellion.

Given the opportunity, I would be Katniss' advisor. As her advisor, I would attempt to assimilate her into the group of rebels in order to fight for their analogous cause. Due to her fragile state I would try not to overwhelm her with ideas, but help build on her own thoughts. I would use my position to build a bridge of trust, rather than simply give instruction. Katniss is a cautious person, so giving her a friend to trust would be very important. After establishing a bond, I would help her analyze her decisions before taking action. Instead of forcing Katniss to follow strict orders, as the other rebellion leaders did, I would allow her to think of her own potential strategies, then refute them in order to strengthen her reasoning. I would, however, push her to try to get along with the other leaders of the rebellion, as this would be pivotal to overthrowing tyrannical rule.

My goals at Katniss's advisor would be to lead her to a victory over her adversary, avenge her friends and family, and keep her safe in the process. I would push her to become the symbol of the rebellion before the final strike and have her exploit the role's potential. In this position, she would be safe because the rebels would not allow their heart to be destroyed. Upon the inevitable annihilation of the Capitol, Katniss would finally fulfill her role as a leader and I would be satisfied that my job was done well.
