use variable as method name

variable_method_name.rb

# trying to get "entity" to act as whatever you pass to method, so if you pass person @event.person would be returned.

# below is what I ended up using, just in case anyone else runs into this >.>

def get_scope(entity)
  entity = entity.pluralize.downcase.to_sym
  @event.send entity
end

Uhg turned out to be a terrible idea, looking at trying send instead
