On November 23 I became a member of the Black Friday crowd. Never before had I dared participate in such an activity. Crowds and pushy people aren't my type of scene. As it turns out, all of my previous conceptions of Black Friday were correct. BUT, I am most likely going to participate in Black Friday from this year on.

The first story I have to tell happened in Walmart. At 8:00 PM on Thursday night, Walmart had a lot of pre-Black Friday deals. One of them was a super good deal on DVD's. My post was waiting for a 32' TV for Deidres' Dad. At the strike of 8, the hundreds of people that were previously withheld by caution tape stormed towards the DVD stands. As I watched the craze begin, I couldn't help but notice the similarity between the event that was occurring before my eyes and the opening events of The Hunger Games at the Cornucopia. People were shoving each other to the ground. There were people ramming other people with their shopping carts. I stood in amazement as I watched the frenzy happen. See for yourself if the two have any similarities and you will notice that they are  eerily similar.
