question related to this topic:

when you guys are reading a book, would you rather just be told, "he had a southern/yankee/hillbilly/whatever accent" and then the words be written normally, or would you rather have the dialect actually be represented in how the dialogue is written?

[LEX, I love PSYCH]

Say the accent type, because when authors spell words phonetically it kinda bugs me, because we need to know what the charcter is actually saying, and we can let our imagination do the rest. :)

Gale
MY VIEWS::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

On his love:  I believe that Gale really did love Katniss in the first and second books- they were so close- it's clear to see that he had very strong feelings for her, and she was oblivious. Even if it wasn't 'romantic' love at times, it WAS love, and read my explanation for why that matters. Possibly, it was move of a family love (In the 1st book, Prim's goat, he wanted to see Prim's reaction just as much as Katniss- Prim was like a sister to him too, they were like family, they kept no secrets, the shared everything. What is love then? I don't think that love is ONLY Peeta's sweet, overly kind, slightly stalkery, completely devoted, love. That's not the only kind of love in the world.)

On him being a psychopath: He saw the girl he loved go through the games. Twice. He saw her break and go crazy, because of the Capitol. He felt he needed to do something to avenge what they had done to her. Maybe he did kill people, but do you really think Snow and the peacekeepers could be replaced without war? (open your eyes people.) what did you want Gale to do? Sit around and say "oh Katniss I'm sorry the Captiol just messed up your life forever. I'm just gonna sit here and do nothing" NO! Gale got up and did something about it. He saw the girl he loved get taken away from him, and he loved her enough to fight for her, even if she didn't want to!

On him leaving: This just shows me that Gale didn't come back because he knew it would hurt her. He loved her enough to care about her feelings. He knew it would just make things worse, so he did a very strong thing in leaving. It wasn't heartless, it wasn't selfish, it wasn't wimpy, and it doesn't make him a jerk. That's one of the more caring things he's ever done. 

On Prim: Okay. A, Coin put Prim in there, she dropped the bomb. Prim wasn't supposed to leave 13. Katniss thinks "Why did COIN put her on the front lines? She shouldn't be here" Coin stole the Capitol hovercraft, COIN PRESSED THE BUTTON. Someone invents a machine gun. Something that couldn't be used for anything besides killing people. Someone shoots someone with that gun. Who's fault is it? Also, Beetee was a big part in making the bomb, no one hates him! It was 95% Coin's fault, 4% Beetee's fault (he had a bigger part in making the bomb then Gale) and about 1% UNINTENTIONALLY Gale. Why he made the bomb at all: Do you really honestly think that the rebel army is going to defeat a huge army of peacekeepers who aren't afraid to kill, if the rebels don't kill? Because that is completely untrue. Someone would have to be brave enough to be the one to kill people (TODAY: soldiers that come back from Iraq, they killed people, to keep America free. We give them support, not hatred ((or at least we should))) Gale thought his bomb would destroy the Capitol. And if it had, we all be loving him, but since Coin didn't use it like that, now everyone hates him.

On him not telling Katniss his feelings:  Have you ever liked someone? Can you imagine trying to tell someone you love your feelings? It's hard. It's human. 

On the importance of his character:He's not just there for a love triangle, he WAS Katniss's best friend. He DID help keep her alive. His snares, his hunting knowledge. When she met him, it really helped keep her family alive. When she was at the games TWICE, mind you, who was taking care of Prim and her mother? Gale.

On him being heartless: Are you forgetting Gale saved 800 people from the bombings? (See psychopath topic)

On him being  a jerk: Was he a popular jerk if he really only loved the quiet girl? If he thought for himself and didn't take anyone else's garbage? Is that being a jerk? Also, I have a VERY strong jerk meter when reading, and anyone who comes off the least bit like that, I can't stand them. I didn't feel that at all way!

PEETA: I don't want people to like Gale more than Peeta, that's fine. Peeta's cool. Gale just gets a lot of hate, and I think it's unfair, so yeah I'm dedicating myself to educating people on another view of Gale 

Overall: Gale is flawed. Gale fights for what he believes in. Gale didn't only care about Katniss, but he cared about her. Gale wanted to destroy the Capitol. Gale did some things that people aren't happy with. Gale didn't kill Prim. Gale loved Katniss. Gale is strong, and not a crybaby. Gale isn't perfect. Who is? Gale is human. Gale isn't evil. He isn't like the Capitol. Gale is a great character. Gale is who I love. (hide spoiler)]

When anyone says anything about gale I copy that into the discussion :) or just the part that makes sense for the discussion :) It's my dedication. Wouldn't you do the same for Cinna if people were hating on him?
