I Volunteer as Tribute

 

"I volunteer as tribute!"
- Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games 

The line, made famous from The Hunger Games, started from an emotionally compelling scene in which the main character Katniss Everdeen volunteers herself to take her younger sisters spot in the usually deadly Hunger Games.  The movie trailer made this line even more well known and popular. With this popularity "I volunteer as tribute!" has become a popular response to statements and questions, especially in the form of internet memes. 

This realization came rushing at me the other day when I was watching TV with my roommate. Upon seeing a commercial to something that I don't remember she responded, out of no where, with "I volunteer as tribute!" I was slightly confused at first. I then realized to what she was referring and had a good laugh.

May the Odds be Ever in Your Favor...
