Hungry for the Hunger Games

  The books that has everyone's attention is coming to theatres and has quickly risen to a top seller. I have read the book and it lives up to its reputation. The Hunger Games follows a young girl, 16, named Katniss who bravely takes the place of her younger sister in order to win food for her district or country in a fight til the death. It shows the whole process, through preparing for the games, the people she meets, and then through the actual games. It's a book that promotes integrity, dedication, independence, and self-help. Along the way Katniss learns that although she could win all on her own, the journey by herself is lonely and she starts to miss her partner, Peeta and they finish the games together, as a pair. I'm extremely excited to see the movie, and I really hope it does the book justice.

Hidden themes of Super Bowl ads

Super Bowl XLVI is on this coming Saturday, February 5, millions of Americans will be watching the New England Patriots against the New York Giants while sharing finger foods, beer and sodas. These people will be commenting and discussing the play action passes, blind side sacks, and a couple of the biggest franchise quarterbacks scrambling in and out of pockets to throw a touchdown. But for me, and lots of other people the football game being played is the least of our excitment. I am watching the game purely for the commercials. According to researchers, over half of the people watching the Super Bowl are only watching it for the commercials. These commercials are a huge investment, and a huge source of entertainment. The spots for a singal commercial is easily a couple million dollars. Behind each commericial is a hidden goal that each producers tries to trigger. One of them is the quest to bring out your inner child. Another goal is to bring out our affection for animals. And the final one, which could be portrayed in a good, and a bad way is sex. These goals can have an effect on everybody, from a little boy to an old women. They are forsure a gurentee to make you laugh.
