Hunger Games: How to make the odds in your favour

In 2012 the film adaptation of The Hunger Games hit theatres. In a post apocalyptic version of the United States, 24 children from 12 districts are chosen and thrown into an arena to kill and survive. The evil Capitol uses the catchphrase: “May the odds be ever in your favour.” But can you do that? How can you make the odds be in your favour so you have the best chance to survive?

First of all: don’t volunteer if your name is not drawn. That will make your chances of survival a 100%. If you are chosen, however, there are things you càn do. Sulking around and being anti-social like Katniss will not improve your chances. Maybe you think that age or gender are big factors in the Hunger Games, but you would be wrong. It also doesn’t really matter from which district you are either.

In this theory from the YouTube channel The Film Theorists they explain how you can actually turn the odds in your favour. If you want to survive the Hunger Games, you might want to pay attention. There are some pretty clever tips and tricks you can use and emerge alive, thus victorious!

Can we please go back to when this was a Presidential scandal?

Just three years ago, the republicans were OUTRAGED over the colour of President Obama’s suit, calling it ‘unpresidential’.

The following segment, tweeted by ‘NowThis’, shows media snippets concerning the tan suit, and various critics calling it all kinds of things including – and we’re not making this up – “an impeachable offense”. One election later, we’re finding ourselves in a situation that has us yearning for a reprieve from scandals and wishing we could focus on something as trivial as the colour of POTUS’ suit..

The hero grammar needs is Bristol’s Grammar Vigilante

He works under cover of darkness to correct grammar mistakes on shop signs, anonymously fighting grammar crime in the British city of Bristol.

Armed with special tools that only a Grammar Vigilante would need or invent, he uses the night to fight misuse of apostrophes and place them where they were mistakingly left out. According to him, it’s not vandalism. It’s not a crime, it’s a service. One that the people need, but not necessarily want. We might even suggest that this Grammar Vigilante is like the Batman of grammar. Just.. less violent. Also, we don’t know if he’s a billionnaire trained in a mysterious temple pretending to be nothing more than a playboy during the day. So maybe he isn’t like Batman. But maybe he is. He could be!
