"May the odds be ever in your favor"

       Twenty four contenders have been chosen, a boy and girl from each district. This means the annual 74th  Hunger Games has begun! This is the time to prepare between the verge of life and death. So what's the best fit traits for a contender in the games? They must be likable for sponsors support, self-centered to avoid alliances and further attacks, intelligent, and stealthy to outsmart opponents in order to win. Effie Trinket announces "May the odds be ever in your favor" because its personally what actions you take to win. Effie meant a sign of good luck, while I interpret it as responsibility in the actions, and chances you take. For instance each boy and girl have their life on a sliver plate and it can slide off, but its up to themselves to have a steady hand. There must be practice of special skills, and learning new things. The odds may be successful or disappointing, but they're controlling the odds. Depending on their decisions can determine if they can handle this task for their district. Therefore may the odds of the contender winning be in their favor based on the choices made in the arena.
