This.


Hawraa Naqi I think that she started liking him during the first book, but she fell in love with him in catching fire around the time he gave her the pearl.


[Coco] I agree. When Peeta was taken by the Capitol, Katniss knew she was falling for him, but she hid her feelings because she knew the Capitol was capable of killing him.


[Coco] Oh, and the reason Katniss fixed Peeta's leg was because of the star-crossed lovers thing Peeta started... or at least that's what she thought at first....


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) Well she wasn't sure why she was helping him exactly....But she would of felt wrong to leave him (in HG) all mangled up like that..

that is true. i wouldnt have left anyone mingled up like that.........


[Coco] What if you had a choice- go save a person you knew nothing about, or save yourself?


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) Well, she owed him for the bread...I would of saved the person..It would make me scream at myself but I would of done it...(well if the person was as nice as Peeta)


message 59: by [deleted user] (new)

like, oly one of us would live?


[Coco] Look at it whichever way you want


message 61: by [deleted user] (new)

um. well, if both could live, save them of course.
if one could live.... it depends. if it was (say) Peeta or Gale or someone else from district 12, save them.
if it was Rue or someone nice from a different district, save them.
if it was a rude career person, i dont think i would save them.


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) true...I wouldn't want to save someone nasty..


[Coco] Well, if you could both live, would you save a career? Even if they are horrible and cruel?


message 64: by [deleted user] (new)

i depends if they understand your being nice, and dont try to kill me


[Coco] So... possibly? Same here. Although you never know if they will attempt to kill you, so would you trust them?


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) I would if they wouldn't kill me..However thats how I envision horrible and cruel..I mean I would save if she was just annoying and high maintenec (or her)..actaully is anyone high maintence in the games??


message 67: by [deleted user] (new)

i dont think so..... ((answer to both of you))


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) Well a person is a person..Would you just leave them if they were hurt??


message 69: by [deleted user] (new)

no, i still wouldnt trust them though....


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) Yeah I woudn't trust them but...if they were like Peeta I would..cause if they showed me that pure kidness and love..


[Coco] Yea, but aren't we talking about a cold-hearted career?

peeta wasnt a true career. they were using him to find Katniss


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) oh yes...I wouldn't trust them at all...SOrry no help from me careers!!

Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) I would DEFINITELY save Peeta...even if I didn't know him..i would save him because I would feel too guilty to not save him..and besides I would know at least that he is nicer than I am and that he would be better off living than me..


[Coco] Totally true the guilt would kill me


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) I would say to myself everday why didn't you save him....


message 81: by [deleted user] (new)

((lea, can you put that in the new topic Nicole made....))


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) oh..sorry... :)


message 83: by [deleted user] (new)

its okay


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) So, when did you think Katniss first started to fall in love with Peeta??


[Coco] Well... she never really realized it herself til the end of the last book. At least that's what I think. No, she did not love him from the very start... she grew to love him.


message 86: by [deleted user] (new)

ditto


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) I think she realized herself at the end..ohh how I love the last two paragraphs....


message 88: by [deleted user] (new)

agreed


[Coco] so... what do you think of Katniss' relationship with Prim? What did she feel when Gale killed her, because it doesn't say much about that.


Mochaspresso A lot of people seem to think it was when Peeta gave her the bread. I don't think so. She was obviously grateful but I don't think she had any feelings for him beyond that. The first book gives the impression that she hasn't even thought of that bread incident again until Peeta's name is called in the reaping for the games.

I think it started in the arena during the first hunger games. She just doesn't fully realize it at that point. I don't think she fully realizes it until the third book, Mockingjay.


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) When in the arena?? A clue was when he said "So in a way my name being drawn in the reaping is a bit of luck." and she felt happy and then she said something in her mind like "Aren't we supposed to be pretending to be in love, not actually in love?"..

Erin I think she had feelings for him during the first book in the arena but I don't hink she actually loved him until the last book when Peeta asked her if she loved him "real or not real" and she CHOSE him. Love is a choice, not a feeling. She loved him when she realized she needed the daisy and not the fire.


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) Its a dandelion not a daisy...Sorry I just memorized that part so I know it wel...


message 94: by Emily (new)

Emily C. i think love is a feeling


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) I agree...But what else can love be if its not a feeling??


message 96: by Emily (new)

Emily C. nothing. i think if its not a feeling, then its not love


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) It's not a choice...Dunno why she wrote that...


message 98: by Emily (new)

Emily C. I guess that's also kinda how Suzanne Collins wrote it in the book. I remember all the times I read that part, I was thinking why it was saying that Katniss had chose someone. It made me feel like she was picking who would protect her more, not who she loved more. Then again, I guess it would've cause people who preferred Gale to be upset that she loved Peeta more. And then again, I don't know.


message 99: by Erin (new) - rated it 3 stars

Erin The feelings are a side effect of love. Trust me, you don't always "feel" like you love someone. How many times have teenegers thought they "hated" there parents, but later realize that they do love them and always will. You have to purpose in you're heart to stick with someone. Why do you think there are so many divorses these days? People lose that "feeling" instead of sticking with that person and CHOSING to love them. But I guess everyone has there own ideas. And oh yeah *palm to forehead* it was dandelion. Don't know how I forgot that!


Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) Hmmm....Well she made the best choice for her..I think she loved them equally, that's what made it so hard..Although at times it seemed that she + Gale were only friends..Well I think she made a good choice. Gale and her were too similar and Peeta gave her the hope to keep on living..
