The Hunger Games: A Different Point of View

Some of you aren't going to like this perspective on The Hunger Games, but I'm going to share it anyway.

Why I Don't Like Hunger Games

I think the author is a little harsh, but she does have some valid points.  Even if you are a Hunger Games groupie, do you see a point in anything she has to say?

Comment away.

Grammar. It does matter. I swear.

Yes,  I know you hate grammar.  You hated Caught'yas, and now the punctuation formulas are getting a bit tiresome.  I know. I know. I know.

If only all of you could get when to use A, B, C noun instead of A, B, conj C.... maybe, then I would be happy.  Someone fails inevitably.

If only you understood what I understand.  One day, you will be the leaders, the bosses, the people in charge, and I don't want your employees laughing behind your back because you don't know when to use their, there, or they're.  I want your future employees to respect you because that will make you successful.  I want your success.  That makes me happy.

Trust me.  Later in life, it will really matter that you know this stuff. It will matter that you can write well and speak properly.  The best part is that you will do it naturally, so it won't even be work.

My question to you:  Why do you think it's unimportant?
