Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games. (Did you notice I how got straight to the point there?) Peeta is a good guy at his core. I absolutely love the scene in the book where he throws Katniss the bread. But that’s not the first time he notices her. He notices her when they start school at age five and he hears her sing the valley song. His dad tells him that he wanted to marry Katniss’ mother, but she married Katniss’ father because he could sing. Anyway, all these years, he’s watched Katniss, and then all of a sudden, he’s having to “play” The Hunger Games with her. Peeta is very real, honest, selfless, and humbly charming. Yet due to his hard upbringing in District 12, he’s also tough. He plays the Games with strategy and strength. I think that’s how he differs from Gale in the book. Both of them are tired of being controlled by the Capitol, but Peeta’s not angry like Gale is. He’s more thoughtful, calculating. That’s why the moment (SPOILER ALERT) that he and Katniss together try to take the nightlock is so great. It’s so in character for both of them. But I have absolutely no doubt that if it came down to it, Peeta would have given his life to let Katniss live. Who doesn’t want to be loved like that?
Here’s Peeta from the HG movie:
And here’s some cool fan art:
What book character would you marry?

Yeah I thought you would pick him. But see….not me! I was a Gale man (well right up until they totally changed his character in book 3). I mean I am glad she ended up with Peeta but…not me. I never pick the hero of the book. At least in this book I did really like Peeta…often I find the ‘hero’ to be annoying and not worth it. He he. I always like the bad boys….hence you have been married 10 years and I am still single! lol!! 🙂
Yeah, I wondered if you were more of a Gale fan. 🙂 Peeta’s just so good, you know? Unfortunately I usually go for the main guy. I’m so stinking predictable. At least you’re creative!
Ah yes, I loved Peeta also! I think the boy the chose to play in him the movie is such a cutie. I can’t wait to watch Catching Fire. I hope they can pull off the arena set – I can still picture it in my mind.
My brother recommended I might like this web site.
He was once entirely right. This publish truly made my day.
You can not imagine simply how a lot time I had spent for this info!
Thank you!
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet
effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a excellent job with this.
Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Opera.
Excellent Blog!
My web blog: photo thank you cards
Wonderful work! That is the type of information that should be shared around the internet.
Disgrace on Google for now not positioning this submit upper!
Come on over and visit my site . Thank you =)
Howdy! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
Does running a well-established website such as yours take a
large amount of work? I’m brand new to blogging however I do write in my journal daily. I’d like to start a blog so I
will be able to share my personal experience and
views online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or
tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
