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 :)

  1. Hello SD!
    I'm very, very impressed by your comment and although I am in "Team Peeta", you gave me good arguments to convince me to see a real chance for Katniss and Gale. So now I can't decide myself.

    Greetings,

  2. You are correct, this is a very difficult decision. I enjoyed how you highlighted the pros and cons of both choices. I would just suggest that you be mindful of your use of past, present and future tense. Also, than (We ran farther than last time.) versus then (...and then we went to the store.) Great job!
