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 :)

  1. Hey JW!
    I really liked your post because it is very well-written.
    But I actually don't share your opinion. I don't think Peeta would be the best one for Katniss. Moreover I would say Peeta is too feminine and too weak for her. I also think that Gale could just protect her better and is able to make her fell save what Peeta in my opinion can’t.
    I am looking forward to read more from you!

  2. Hi JW! I haven't read the book, but based on your arguments, I agree with you. It does sound like Katniss and Gale have more of a brother-sister type relationship. It would be difficult for two people who are very much alike to have a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.

    If Peeta risked his life to protect Katniss, he obviously cares deeply for her.

    1. Hey :)
      Thank you for your comment!
      Yes, I also think that Peeta cares deeply for Katniss :)

      You should really read the book or watch the movie - they are both pretty good and exciting!

  3. I liked your point regarding Gale and Katniss being too similiar. Some would say opposites attract. With regards to Peeta taking care of Katniss, one could argue that Gale took care of Katniss' sister and mother while she was participating in the games. You have a strong position though, well done!

    1. Hi Gina!

      Thanks for your comment on my blog entry!
      I also thought about how Gale took care of Katniss' family but I actually think that Peeta would do the same.
