Considering I have finished the Hunger Games series, I would like to share my thoughts on some of the characters, and other things. But, since I tend to ramble, this will probably only cover a few characters. Also SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't finished the series, I suggest you don't read this :)
First off...
PEETA!: I love Peeta! I think he is a great guy, and he always truly cared about Katniss. I reread the first two books again for school, and I realized, how many times has poor Peeta almost died!? Seriously! Like every chapter! First, he's beaten by his own mother (it wasn't life threatening, but still...). Second, he almost dies of blood poisoning in HG.Third, he gets his leg all cut up at the end of the Hunger Games, almost dying from blood lost. Fourth, he stops breathing in CF. Fifth, the government got Peeta and tracker jacked his mind, and he almost killed himself multiple times in MJ. And I'm sure there are plenty more times... This made me feel bad for Peeta. Things never go well for him. He has suffered a lot, and then he is sent to the horrible Hunger Games? And, to make things worse, he loves Katniss, and most likely, one of them was going to die. It is realyl tragic for him. I'm glad he got Katniss at the end of the series. She needed someone that wasn't so angry, someone who would help heal her. And I'm really shocked he did end up with her. I thought it was a lost cause when he almost killed Katniss. So, I'm grateful that Suzanne Collins kept him alive and mostly healthy :)
Katniss: Katniss is a very brave girl. Some people get angry with her behavior in the second novel, but would you act any better? She has seen numerous deaths, people all around her suffer, has been nearly killed herself, and now has to go back to the Games? How could she even go on? She is insanely brave. And RUE! The saddest death maybe in the whole series (Finnick and Cinna are up there too. Prim was really sad, but I don't know, it just didn't touch me like the others did, which worries me.) What she did for her, it was incredible. I feel so sorry that he had to be a puppet of the government so many times. And then when she had the chance to lead a rebellion, her side ended up being as bad as the government was under Snow. I don't blame her for killing Coin.
Gale: I liked Gale in the first book, but as the series progressed, he made me pretty mad. He is always so angry! He doesn't look out for Katniss emotional wellbeeing often. He just persuades her to fight the government. Hasn't she suffered enough already? In MJ, it made me very upset when Gale let all those people die in that avalance-blockade thing (I apologize, I don't quite remember what it was). Then, he created that horrible bomb that most likely killed Rue. It's all very sad. If Katniss got with him, he would always have his anger in her heart, so it's best they didn't get together. It also ticks me off that Gale totally blew off Katniss later in life. He owes her. Maybe that was his way of trying to help her, but he was probably wrong. Once again, I like Peeta more :) How many times did Gale almost die? Like, two. 1) When he got whipped and 2) When District 12 was destroyed. How many times did Peeta almost die? At least 5!!!
This is all I'm going to write about this now. (even though I will probably continue in the future). I would post a Hunger Games trailer I made, but I am worried about copyright issues.
