The guy who saved Katniss' family, who is Katniss' bestfriend, who was with Katniss through the end, who watched her go through hell on TV, who watched her love someone else, who risked his life to save the person she loved and got nothing in return.

Dude, I'm your Gale Hawthorne, pick me!

I just got Gale Hawthorned.

I'll pull a Gale Hawthorne and stay silent and watch you love another guy to see you happy.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

A man whose mission it was to test just how much he could bore the living shit out of future American high school English students

Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is tangential and meaningless as fuck.

Hawthorne Effect

According to experiments (first conducted in the Hawthorn plant of Western Electric in Illinois, people who are told that they are highly capable and are doing well will then do even better work than worse. The adage "Honey catches more flies than vinegar" suggests that changes resulting from praise or dispraise may not be lasting.

At my workplace, nobody employs the Hawthorne Effect ....so it should be no big secret that it sucks to work there.

Did you seriously just get mad at me when I called you a Ginger? You are such a Hartshorn!
