The Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen Or Peeta Mellark?

The two main characters of the novel The Hunger Games are Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. They both take part in the 74th annual Hunger Games that is hosted by Caeasar Flickerman. The twelve districts of Panem provide a boy and a girl from each district to fight to the death in an arena. In the beginning of the book, Katniss tries to avoid Peeta, but they are brought together by their coach, Haymitch. Later in the book, they become very close to one another and fall in love. Haymitch persuaded Katniss into acting like she loved him, but along that act, she fell for Peeta. The Hunger Games announcer, Claudius Templesmith, said that there can be two winners as long as they are from the same district and this caused Katniss to go find Peeta.

Peeta Mellark is artistic, compassionate, and brave. He grew up decorating cakes so he knew how to camoflauge himself.

After the announcement that two tributes could both be crowned victors, Katniss came and found him. On page 252 when Katniss found him, he simply said, "You here to finish me off, sweetheart?" Peeta was wounded pretty badly and Katniss slowly nursed him back to health. They worked together from that point until the end of the book. One other thing that Peeta did that should be given more praise is the way he looked after Katniss. While she was risking her life to save him, another tribute, Clove, cut Katniss right above her eyebrow. Thresh, the male tribute from District Eleven, killed Clove and let Katniss go. By the time Katniss got back to her and Peeta 's cave, she passed out and Peeta cared for her. The way he looked out for her was overlooked most of the time because the highlights only showed parts of what

I think that Peeta should not have tried to stop Katniss from getting his blood poisoning medication, but he was just trying to protect her. Peeta had a crush on Katniss ever since he was little, but she just needed a little push to make her realize how she really felt. Peeta remembered every little detail about Katniss and throughout the book, she began to realize how much she actually noticed. After they both almost committed suicide, Haymitch told Katniss that the Capitol was not happy with what they did. In front of the cameras, they say it was because of love, but that little act of rebellion saved both of their
