The topic this week: Peeta vs. Gale
Wow, this is a really difficult one! I really like both of them. I didn't like Peeta at first, but he quickly grew on me. I felt like I got to know Gale first and know him better than Peeta; however, once the game started, he faded quite a bit into the background. I think he's super cute, and there's more in common between him and Katniss. I choose Gale! Sorry Peeta! You're still an awesome guy! :D
Awww, still a cute post, even though I'm for Peeta. But I can definitely relate to how Gale was first. First impressions actually make quite a big impact. Great weigh-in! <3

Thanks! This one was so hard because they're both great characters. I didn't like Peeta at first, but over time, I grew to like him. They both did so much for Katniss and obviously cared for her greatly. Tough call, lol. :D
DeleteI liked Gale at the beginning, but liked him less over time. Peeta I didn't care for that much at the beginning and like him more over time. Both were well crafted character.
ReplyDeleteI kinda felt like that, too, about Gale, and I also liked Peeta more as the story progressed. I wish Gale had been a more prominent character in the books, though.
DeleteSo funny that you liked Gale more than Peeta at first, while I had the opposite reaction...it's so interesting that two people can have such different reactions to the same text! I agree with Michael that both are well-crafted characters.
ReplyDeleteI agree about having different reactions, and that's one of my favorite things about talking books with people. I love finding out the different opinions people have after they've read a book. It's a lot of fun. :)
DeleteI also agree with you and Michael--both characters were well crafted, but I wanted some more of Gale, lol. :D
This is definitely a tough decision. In the beginning, I felt Katniss betrayed Gale, falling in love with Peeta. However, by the end, after all that happened, I'm sold on Peeta.
ReplyDeleteI felt like she betrayed Gale, but I don't think she could help it. She definitely didn't love Peeta right away. She just went along with pretending for the audience to try to get sponsors once they went into the arena. I think she felt torn between the two.
