Why Katniss should choose Peeta


Katniss Everdeen is in a difficult predicament. She has to decide between two boys: Peeta Mellark, the boy who would do everything for her and is with Katniss in the arena,  and Gale, her good friend from the seam. To my mind, Katniss definitely should choose Peeta. Honestly, I am influenced by the movie because Peeta looks really better than Gale. But there are more reasons why I would advise her to choose Peeta:
  • First I want to say, Peeta is in love with her and he would do everything just for she is fine. At the interviews at the opening ceremony he says he's in love with Katniss and everyone remembered her from this moment on. In addition to that he goes into an alliance with the careers so he can protect her all the time against the careers in the arena.
  • Secondly, Katniss learns a lot from him, for example about the bread from different districts or about the right camouflage in the arena. Besides that she learns a lot about life and the important values in it.
  • Peeta is very important for Katniss because  since the rule change she gets new hope and starts fighting for the victory again. Besides that, her talk with Peeta on the roof influenced her behaviour towards Rue. When the little girl from district 11 dies, Katniss understood what he meant and it comes to a change inside of her.
  • First, Katniss is suspicious towards Peeta because she is not sure if he is honest to her and Haymitch all the time. Besides that she is a little bit angry about Peeta because once when she had to be hungry he gave her a bread and so she always had to do a favour to him and thanks him. But from the moment in the arena, when the rule change was announced and Katniss searched after Peeta, they went together and she gave Peeta probs. Actually they were a good team and she risked her life to save his. Katniss couldn't have done that just because she maybe likes the risk or want to have more sponsors, no she likes Peeta and doesn't wanted  him to die. In my opinion Katniss likes Peeta a lot, but she doesn't admits it yet. The fact that Peeta is in love with her is quite sure and he would be the best could ever happen to Katniss.

Why Katniss should choose Peeta for her relationship

I list some reasons why Katniss should choose Peeta and not Gale. The most important thing are the feelings which they feel for each other. That is a special connection. Peeta also risks his life for Katniss several times in the book and she risks her, too and Gale wouldn't do this anytime.
Also Peeta is very kind and has good prerequisites to be a good partner/boyfriend, for example: because his family owns a bakery, he doesn't need to be hungry. So Katniss could bring fresh food to her family.
What do you think about this little competition? Let me know :-)

Team Peeta!

      5 reasons why Katniss should choose Peeta:


  1. Katniss and Gale really do like each other but in my opinion they are just too similar. Gale may know everything about Katniss but I think he is more like brother for her and before the reaping Katniss did not even consider to have other feelings for him.
  2. Peeta did already risk to get hit by his mother to save Katniss' life before he even really got to know her. He is in love with her since the day they met and would do anything to protect her. This is a very big sign for his undying love for her. By disclosing this love in the interview in front of everyone he helped Katniss to get a better image and to be desirable although this is something very personal. In the arena Peeta teams up with the Careers to protect Katniss and saved her life after the tracker jacker attack.
  3. Besides that I think they would a great couple because Peeta completes Katniss. He has a totally different way of seeing things and is more willing to think in somebody's shoes. Furthermore, I think Peeta is very charming and  humorous.  Of course Gale is in some way funny, too, but I think Peeta is just funnier and especially more likeable.
  4. Katniss always compares Peeta with Gale to find reason why she does not like Peeta and to persuade herself that she does not have feelings for him. But since she felt that betrayed just because of his separated coaching she has to have a deeper connection to him.
  5. Because she thinks Peeta is only playing a role in the hunger games Katniss tries to do that by herself . She does not want to allow herself that she falls in love with him because she doesn't want to get hurt or to lose somebody.

I am really interested in hearing the comments from Team Gale and I think they may have some very good points for him. However, in my opinion it is Peeta who can really understand Katniss after the hunger games because he knows exactly how she feels.

Thank you for reading my blog entry :)

Who Should Katniss choose?

Team Peeta vs Team Gale

You’re insecure 
Don’t know what for 
You’re turning heads 
When you walk through the door 
Don’t need make up 
To cover up 
Being the way that you are is enough 
Everyone else in the room can see it 
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else 
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed 
But when you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell 
You don’t know
You don’t know you’re beautiful 

If only you saw what I can see 
You’ll understand why I want you so desperately 
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe 
You don’t know 
You don’t know you’re beautiful 
And that’s what makes you beautiful


 (My thoughts of what Peeta might be thinking about Katniss)

 So our task was to make up our mind about which of the both lover-candidates would match the best with Katniss, if it was on us to decide. Reading the first book of the trilogy I made a clear decision: 

TEAM PEETA!


And here’s why

Peeta makes Katniss a real girl. Before she met him in the games, she was just an emancipated chick that hunted illegally in the woods to feed her family and does business on a black market with her best friend, who’s male, Gale. Her actions made her look like a boyish girl to the ones that didn’t know her better. The baker son’s confession of love makes her look like a likable, female and somewhat vulnerable woman.

He seems to see what others overlooked all the time: the unmeant hidden beauty of her being and her actions. Seems like he’s the only one who noticed Katniss as who she really is: a girl.

His confession is taking influence on Katniss development by helping her to gain more self-confidence in what she is and what she is able to do. Peeta has never given up on his love for ‘the girl on fire’ and in that way he teaches her not to give up on what she wants to have back again: her old life and her family, mainly her sister, in District 12.

What Katniss really does learn from him is to not accept anything that is done to you or the people you love, even to people that you don’t know, if it’s morally not right, unfair, terrible or in any way bad for anyone (or a whole population). With his saying that he doesn’t want to be just a piece in Panems Games, he sets fire to Katniss injustice-thoughts about the Capitols government and the Hunger Games. Even if she does not understand the real meaning of the words in the beginnig, she does when she becomes aware of the Gamemaker’s cruelty more than ever at Rue’s death. Kids ar not destined for being killed just for peoples entertainment and Katniss wants this thing to be over forever so she sets a sign, influenced by Peetas quote, to show that she’s not accepting what the government is doing namely punishing kids for things which happened long before they were even born.

Peeta is very important for Katniss because he’s the only person from District 12 in the arena, the only one who reminds her of home.
Both have a relation to each other from the beginning on, at the time they are chosen at the reaping: Peeta of course because he is in love with this girl, Katniss because she owes her and her families lifes to him, because of the fact that Peeta gave her bread when she was about to starve. He gave her new hope when nobody else was able to, being in charge of her sight of the dandelion who brought new life to the little girl.
He does what Gale never will be able to do in that kind of way: he saves her life (not only once) in the arena, protecting the girl he loves by building an ally with the Careers, knowing she would hate him for doing that. He does it for making sure that none of the ones being part of the ally will kill Katniss and that he will be there to protect her from them when it comes to a fight.

While, at the beginning, Katniss is feeling nothing but to be in Peeta’s debt, her feelings change over time. She begins to trust him while they are living together in the Capitol, feels betrayed when he is bulding an ally with the careers in the arena, what seems that there has been some kind of friendship between them. Than she becomes aware that she can win with him as a team, when the rule change is announced. The fact that she really cares about Peetas health when she finds him covered and injured in the woods shows that she has some kind of feelings for him, but she does not know what kind of herself. Risking her own life by going to the feast at the cornucopia to get the medicine for him, it becomes apparent that there is a deeper relation between the ‘star-crossed lovers’ than Katniss would ever admit.

In my opinion Katniss should choose Peeta because he’s the one she could always count on in her life. He is there for her all the time in the arena, keeping her grounded. Even if she has never payed attention to him until the reaping, he still sticks by her whatever horror they have to face.
For though there are so much reasons for Katniss to choose Gale (knows her for years, takes care of her family while she’s away, hunts with her in the woods,…), Peeta is the one who’s been there when nobody else was, taking care of HER. So she should keep Gale as best friend or a kind of brother and take the bakers son as boyfriend. 

I'm very interested in hearing your opinion of who Katniss should choose and why. Just leave your comment! :-)

Thats what Peeta could say: 
"Move on. It's just a chapter in the past. But don't close the book, just turn the page."

Difficult Desicion

Katniss is torn between two guys. 


On the one hand, there's Gale, her best friend since she's little. Katniss and Gale have the same fortune, they live in district 12 with bad living conditions. They hunt together every day to feed their families and also because it's a kind of a hobby for them, which connects the two. I think you can say that Katniss and Gale are something like soulmates, they have the same worries, fears, interests and aims. They know each other better then themselves sometimes. When Gale is around Katniss, she feels so lucky, free and strong. For one moment she forgets all the troubles. Furthermore Prim also loves Gale, because he's like a big brother for her or maybe a kind of father since her real one is dead.

On the other hand, there's Peeta, the boy with the bread. He told Katniss, he fell in love when he saw her the first time. Peeta is a very helpful, clever and romantic boy from district 12. But in contrast to Katniss and Gale, he has a better life with more to eat and less worries. One day, as everybody knows, he gave Katniss a useless bread to save her life. When Katniss and Peeta get chosen to the Hunger Games, first Katniss has to pretend loving Peeta. But during the hard times with big worries, she realizes that she can't stay alive without this boy anymore. First it was only a show, but then feelings develop. She cares of him and he cares of her, they're are a good team. At the end therefore, Katniss and Peeta won the cruel games together.

Who should Katniss choose now?

To my mind, it's a very difficult desicion. Both influenced Katniss charakter and development in some ways. And I think, both would do anything to protect Katniss and save her life. With both she experienced important parts in her life. And obviously for both she has feelings, but maybe different ones.
To come to a conclusion, I think between Katniss and Gale is something, which can't get discribed. Gale was or is Katniss' best and only friend since she's a little girl. During growing up, they learned from each other and learned how survive. She could'nt live without him anymore.
In addition, if there weren't the Hunger Games, Peeta and Katniss had never been in such a relation. They get together, because they had to. They work together, because they had to. So I think, their feelings were built by enforcements and for entertaining the people in front of the tv's.
Consequently, I ask myself the question: "Can these feelings between Katniss and Peeta be real?"

I'm interested in your opinion and were glad if you leave a comment about your personal thoughts of Katniss difficult desicion.
Have a nice evening, SD :)


Team Peeta !

Katniss is torn between two guys - But who should she choose?

In my opinion Katniss should choose Peeta because he really loves her and he would do everything for her. Before he thinks of himself he wants Katniss to be save, for example in the scene where he lets her escape after the attack with the tracker jackers. Without Peeta Katniss would not survive.

Besides Katniss also feels something for Peeta. At the beginning she only plays the role of the girl in love but then her feelings changes. She doesn't want to lose Peeta just about him and not about the sponsors or about what will happen back home. She fell in love with him but she doesn't want to avow this.

For Gale she never had the same feelings. She knows him for years and they are good hunting partners but she only thinks of him as a good friend.

Katniss also risks her life for Peeta when she goes to the feast what shows how important Peeta for Katniss is. She wants him to survive and she does everything for Peeta's recovery.

"Well, there is this one girl. I've had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I'm pretty sure she didn't know I was alive until the reaping."
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

Who is the best for Katniss? Peeta vs. Gale
I think Katniss should choose Gale because they have been good friends for many years and they always trust each other. Even if it´s not really mentioned in the book I think that Katniss often asks herself what Gale would do in her case and it helps her even if Gale isn´t next to her.
Katniss has learned many things from Gale, especially how to lay out snares or how to hunt better, so she is much more closer to Gale.
In my opinion Peeta isn´t strong enough and if it was necessary to leave District twelve quickly he couldn´t decide where to go and what to do because he had alays a good live and enough to eat so even after the Gaes he wouldn´t be able to survive in the nature. Gale knows much about how to come out in the woods so Katniss would have a great life with him.

Who´s Mr. Right?

Peeta or Gale?

I think that Mr. Right for Katniss is Gale! Because...
  •   He is like a brother to her and so they knows a lot of the other. I think that a relationship hold much longer when both are very good friends!
  • He share the same hobby: Hunting. -> The lovers must have commonalities!
  • He can protect Katniss, because he is very strong, masculine and                                               Wouldn´t you save "your sisters" life??
All this can´t offer Peeta, because between Peeta and Katniss stand the Capitol!!!
So in my mind  Peeta is not  Mr. Right for Katniss!
But I also be interested hearing in your opinion ;)
 CU AKR
Team Peeta

In my opininon Katniss should choose Peeta for a relationship, because he really cares about her.
He even risked his life for her and saved her life a couple of times. 
She likes him very much, you can see that at the part when they were in the arena and hadn't to pretend their relationship anymore, she even kissed him.
Peeta is very kind and he has a very good trained body for someone who lives in District 12.
Katniss future would be easier to handle, because he can bake bread and isn't that poor.

Who is the better boyfriend for Katniss?


Peeta or Gale?

This is a very difficult question, because both of them are very good friends and have good properties. But I think that Katniss should choose Gale as her boyfriend because...

... Katniss knows Gale since many years. They grew up together in district 12 and became very good friends and maybe more.

...Gale is the only person with whom she can be herself.  She can talk with Gale  about serious topics and issues for example about the Hunger Games and the Capitol.

...in the book there was always a connection between Gale and Katniss, which was not only a friendship.

...they are totally honest to each other and trust each other.

→ Of course, Peeta also has good characteristics but Gale is the better one, because he knows more about Katniss and knows what she need.

Team Peeta!!!

In my case I would choose Peeta because he really loves Katniss and takes care for her.

After the first capital I obviously was for Gale because he and Katniss are best friends. She understood his feelings and thoughts about the Hunger Games and they had a lot of fun by hunting in the forest.
But it seems like Peeta loves her too and would do everything for her. He protected Katniss in the arena insofar he got together with the other tributes from district 1 and 2 to  keep them away from Katniss. That boy would risc his own life for Katniss. Not every boy would do this and I'm not sure if Gale will do this too. 
That's an important point why Katniss should choose Peeta. I think she loves Peeta more than Gale because she would rather die as win the Hunger Games without him!

Peeta vs. Gale Who should Katniss choose?

While reading the book, especially the girls split their opinion about they belong to " Team Peeta" or "Team Gale". Of course both of them could be great as Katniss boyfriend but in my opinion Gale is the one, she should choose.
I think, Katniss and Gale would be a very good team because they  knew each other for years and have been great hunting-partners.
Even if they had not have a real relationship, they belong to each other since the beginning of the book.
Also Ketniss have not been interested in Peeta until he did not told her his feelings, which is another reason why Gale is the right one for " the girl on fire".
Finally Gale wants to protect her and looks after his family all the time. Whith him Katniss would be save because he is very strong and muscular, which makes him to a good hunter.

Because of this facts I am very interestet in which guy Katniss will choose at the end.

:) IV

The better boyfriend for Katniss? Obviously Gale!!

 

5 reasons why Katniss should choose Gale as her boyfriend:

 

1. They have known each other for years and Gale knows what she likes and dislikes and how      she feels about living in District 12. They both know how hard it is to live there and they 
    shared their food and tried to help keeping the otherone´s family alive.

2. Gale truly loves her and through all of the books he would risk his own life or even die for her
    her in every single moment. He would never let her alone and I think if it had been possible, 
    he had volunteered for her like she had for Prim.

3. They have the same living standards - not like her and Peeta - and they have the same 
    hobbies and can talk honest wihout hiding feelings from each other.

4. It´s an honest relationship, not one created from the Capitol!!!!

5. Katniss ALWAYS wondered if Gale could be more than a "brother" to her, and even when 
    she kissed Peeta she thought of Gale, so this is why a relantionship between Katniss and 
    never would work or have a future.

I know that there are different opinions and I would be very interested in hearing other. So, looking forward to hear some more inspirations soon, 
CD.

Torn between two guys!

Peeta or Gale? 

I often thought about the question: Do I belong to Team Peeta or Team Gale?
After I had read the first part I definitely was Team Gale because he is clearly the more impressive and attractive man and he cares about his family and always tries to protect Katniss.   
But in the end I decided that I am Team Peeta, because:

-  Gale changes into the wrong direction, because in the following parts he gets more violent.

-  Peeta always tries to proctect Katniss although he must risk his life (for example when he   formed an ally with the Careers).

-   Peeta is a very sympathetic and nice guy 

Katniss has very much problems and I think she needs someone  to make her laugh. 

--> Gale is a good guy too, but Peeta knows what Katniss needs and how she feels. He is a very sensitive and cheerful man and is able to care about Katniss and make her happy.

 


 

Team Gale!


Gale doesn’t appear very often in the first book but anyway I am team Gale!


I would say he influenced Katniss’ developing in hunting. He taught her how to do snares and they both learned hunting from each other. Katniss also trained how to survive and behave in the woods. This was a big help while the Games and one reason why she won them.
They both always shared their kills so that none of their families had to suffer from hunger. I guess this is a big deal if you are living in the Seam. So you can see they already have a tight relationship.

During the first book you were able to read how confused Katniss was about Gale. She actually sees him as a good friend and fells like a brother about him. But there was always a side in her that wondered if Gale wants to be more than just good friends.

Many guys in school spoiled me and told me that Gale will become bad and would kill Katniss in the twinkling of an eye. But I haven’t read the second book yet therefore I can’t count this on my opinion.

Another reason why I have chosen Gale was actually because if I had to choose one of them it would be Gale. He seems to be masculine, even his name sounds like it.
In contrast Peeta seems to me like a wimp, I don’t know why. Well, he has done much for Katniss but in my point of view she needs someone who can protect her and make her feel safe. I wouldn’t say Peeta would be able to do this.

So this is why I am Team Gale!

GALE vs. PEETA!!
Why should Katniss choose Gale?:  

I think that Katniss should choose Gale, because she knows him for a long time and
they have a common past. They know each other and they 
love each other. Gale is Katniss` best friend and she can confidence on him.
If they were girl- and boyfriend, they would be a dream team. They could hunt 
together in the woods because they both are very good in it and Peeta isn't the typical 
adventure-guy. He mustn't fight that much for this life, like Katniss and Gale because 
he had ever enough food, not much, but enough because his father is the baker.
So Katniss and Gale can teach each other in the woods and they can have a beautiful life 
in the nature of district 12. 
You also can see that Katniss is very important for Gale because when she had to go to 
the games, Gale promised her that he will care on Prim. 
Katniss can feel save with Gale because he is strong and he would do everything for her.
On the one hand he is like her best friend, and her big brother, but on the other hand there 
are more feelings between those and not feelings, which are between brothers and sisters.
At the beginning of the games, Katniss didn't really like Peeta, but when she knows
that he don't want to kill her, she starts to like him. But I think that Katniss was affected by Haymitch and the Gamemakers, for example when there was a message, that she should kisses 
Peeta. So it isn't a love on a natural way.

I think that Katniss should choose Gale because he is the real ally.

Katniss Everdeen & Peeta Mellark

The star-crossed lovers from district 12


In my opinion Katniss should choose Peeta. To be honest I don't see why she even should think about choosing Gale...

Peeta loves her. 
And she loves him,
the boy with the bread.

I think that since the beginning there's a relationship between Katniss and Peeta. They're soulmates even if they don't know it for real. Peeta has a little idea of it. Because he noticed her the first day in school, he gave her the bread and thereby new hope, he looked after her all the time and she- to be honest- too. There's a thing between them they can't understand themselfes. Before they go in the arena they care for each other with a bit of suspiciousness, mostly from Katniss, because they know that saving the life of the other means dying oneself. Peeta ignores it. He saves her every single minute during the Games: he teams up with the Careers to guard her, he risks his life by letting her escape after the tracker jacker attack, he almost dies for her.
And she also loves him: she has a bad feeling when she thinks of killing Peeta, she feels betrayaled as he wants to be coached alone, she feels ashamed as he tells whole Panem about his love for her, she calls out his name instantly after the rule change, she cares for him even if she doesn't have any sense of what she's doing, she risks her life for him at the feast, she freaks out as she thinks he's dead.
And all the time she tries to convinse herself that it's only for the audience, only for the Games. Because she can't believe that she, a girl who nearly has no feelings or who never ever shows feelings, fells in love with a tribute. 
Therefore she always compares Gale and Peeta: she wants to find a reason why she likes Peeta. But after a while she notices that Peeta and Gale are totaly different and this is the beginning of her realizing her real feelings for Peeta. After their first "real" kiss she knows it, she admits that she feels save in his arms but then she makes herself forgetting it. 
Nevertheless she knows that she doesn't have the same feelings for Gale because she knows him for years and never even got the idea that Gale could be more than a friend. But with Peeta...

I think at their way back home to the District Katniss tries to protect herself and wants to keep Peeta at bay by telling him that she doesn't know what was real.
Why?
Because she fears that she could have REAL feelings for Peeta, that he's important for her, without the Games, too. She fears that she could lose again someone she really loves- Peeta because she has no idea what the love between them means for the real life, and Gale because Peeta is more important for her than Gale and because she doesn't know what feelings he has.

But with the last sentence it's obvious which feelings are true :
"I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go."
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, last sentence

Peeta and Katniss ♥

Today I'll tell you why I think Katniss should choose Peeta. :)

I think Peeta is the better boyfriend for Katniss, because he already fell in love when he saw K. the first time in Distrikt 12. Gale never had feelings for K. before he recognized that Peeta is in love with her and that he got a competitior.
Peeta was always nice to her, he gave her bread even if he was getting punished by his mother. 

He also tries to protect her, he wants to die for her. I think that's a really big sign of his love.

Peeta gets more and more important for Katniss. At the beginning she's just playing her role, but than with the rule changing she learns to trust him more and more and she fell in love.
I think they're a perfect couple and if i were her I would definetly chose Peeta. ♥


'This is the first kiss that we're both fully aware of. Neither of us hobbled by sickness or pain or simply unconscious. Our lips neither burning with fever or icy cold. This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me want another.' (22.75)

You don´t know nothing!

 

What Snow just doesn´t want to see...

 

A comparison of Pink´s "Dear Mr. President" and 

The Hunger Games

Pink wrote "Dear Mr. President" because of George W. Bush and his policy, but it could also be sung by Katniss. The things mentioned in the songtext could be easily refered to Panem.  But the big difference between Pink´s song and the book is that nobody woul ever dare saying something against the Capitol. Although Katniss could because President Snow already hates her and it wouldn´t change anything about her situation. So here I will show you the parallels between the songtext and the book.

"Dear Mr. President, come take a walk with me."
This is the first thing that would never happen, neither in Panem or in the real world. President Snow would, exactly like President Bush , never take a walk with Katniss because he thinks it´s not neccessary to hear what "outsiders" have to say because he thinks he´s better than other people what Pink also mentions in her songtext.

"I´d like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly."

The next thing that is impossible to think about because President Snow would always have a plan in his backhand to make things work like wants them to, and also Katniss would never trust him because she knows this fact. Moreover he hates her and just because of that he would never be honest to her, his only aim is to destroy her life.
  
"What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?"

In Panem´s outside districts are so many homeless people and Snow just closes his about that and doesn´t even think about helping them or giving them a home. Furthermore he finds them annoying and just cares about what they can do to make his life better, namely their products.

"What do you feel when you look in the mirror? Are you proud?"
Of course President Snow is proud of himself because he has the shining Capitol to represent his policy. Nevertheless it is disgusting and frightening how he deals with people and I think there is nothing to be proud of while the half of your population is slowly starving to death because you don´t let them eat!

"How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?"

The president takes loved children from their families just in order to entertain the people in the Capitol with the annual Hunger Games. This is so barbarous because those families hevan´t got the chance to say goodbye to their children or stand by them while they die. He destroys families to punish them for things they haven´t done because they weren´t even born at this time, and he doesn´t care about those families. If I were him I couldn´t look at myself anymore, couldn´t walk with my " head held high ", I´d be so ashamed I guess I wouldn´t be able to look in someone others eyes ever again or look into their faces and explain to them why I do such disgusting things.

"They´re all sitting in your cells while you pave the road to hell."    
   
I don´t think this has to be a lot explained: A chosen tribute has to go into the arena and since the chances of coming out again are so small, a tribute is almost already dead before it goes in.

"You don´t know knothing ´bout hard work!"    

Snow sits in his more than comfortable Capitol the whole day, only thinking about how he can punish his population in the outside districts in more brutal ways. He has no imagination about the work that has to be done for his comfort. He has never been into a mine or harvested anything. So no wonder people hate him and want him to be punished for his treatment on them.

"You´d never take a walk with me."

Snow is a coward. He wouldn´t be brave enough to let himself be critizised. And as long as he doesn´t change something, no one other can. So, Mr. Snow, you´d never take a walk with Katniss. Would you?
