Follow Up to Re-Finishing The Hunger Games Series (yup--more spoilers!)
I haven't decided what book to read for AP Lang this summer, so instead I'm going to write a brief follow-up to my previous rant about The Hunger Games.
That is to say, I changed my mind about Gale and Peeta.
Yup, it's true. I re-read all 3 books in the series and re-watched the first movie, and I figured out what my problem is. I actually do like Peeta, especially in the movie. My problem is that I don't think Katniss likes Peeta, or at least she certainly doesn't love him. That's the problem here. That the end of the third book, she totally caves and eventually just gives in-- we never even hear her say she loves Peeta! She just responds "true" to his question "you love me." Cute? Maybe. But not super convincing! She goes with the person who's easiest, and that goes against everything Katniss stands for in the rest of the series.
So, to clarify my previous post, the problem I have with Katniss's choice isn't that I don't like Peeta, it's that I think Katniss would prefer Gale, and I want our heroine to be perfectly happy, which she obviously will never be, but at the very least she could be with the guy she actually likes.
