Day 10: Peeta or Gale:

So, as I told my boyfriend whilst reading. I am sure I would much rather end up with Gale. I think Gale would be the kind of man that you wanted/needed around in this time. Does anything for his family, consistently there for you, with you. He’s also her best friend. She knows him better than anyone (other than maybe Prim) and is so comfortable around him… Gale is safety, comfort. HOWEVER, I also told him that I wanted her to end up with Peeta. The logic behind that being that with Gale being safety and comfort, Peeta is passion. To me, if Katniss was meant to be with Gale it would have crossed her mind out on their forest excursions, especially as a young girl looking up to a strapping young man. I think if there was something there she’d have known it. I say Gale for me, because I think I would have thought about it long before it became apparent to me that he liked me. I would have realized that he would be an ideal candidate for a family, but I’m not Katniss, and for her I would choose Peeta. 

Day 11: Something you hate about the series:

I HATE that Prim dies. I hate it. Not because it makes me sad. I am sad that Finnick dies and and that Peeta gets hijacked. I’m PISSED that Prim dies. Fucking SQUARE ONE book one is Katniss giving her all, sacrificing her very own life for Prim to live. She volunteers, she wins. Prim survives. To me that makes sense. I can’t understand why Prim was killed off. It turns Katniss into a very non-Katniss person. A person I don’t very much respect or revere. I understand the loss is absolutely crushing, but in my mind it shouldn’t have happened. It’s confusing that she was even part of the battle in the first place. I don’t like that she dies, I don’t like that they reverse the very point of Katniss’ role since day one. When Prim died, I slammed the book and stormed away for a while. I only picked it back up again when I dared hope it was a horrible nightmare, or possibly that she was severely injured instead. But dead! Ugh. UGHUGHUGH NO.
