I'm Hungry.... -___-

     I just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and it was very amazing. What i liked most about it was that Suzanne Collins never failed to keep me attached to the book. She added so many epic surprises that I just needed to keep reading. Another thing that I liked a lot about the book was her character's. My favorite character, Peeta Mellark, was greatly represented as he carried out his love for Katniss all throughout the book. It made him seem even more convincing.
     Starting with in the beginning, way back before the reaping even began, when Katniss was eleven and it was right after her dad had died, and she needed to search for food for her family, without any luck, she started to search in trash cans outside of different stores. Looking in the trash can outside the bakery, which was owned by Peeta's family, his mother shooed her away. He felt bad, obviously since he was in love with her, and 'accidently' dropped two loafs of bread in the fire. Quickly pulling out, trying to not get into too much trouble by his mom. After, she told him to give it to the pigs outside, but when he pretended to, he actually gave it to Katniss who was still sitting outside in the rain, crying and worried about how she was going to get foor for her family. I thought that was so sweet when I first read it. it made me love Peeta Mellark right formt the very beginning.
     But, his love for Katniss is still carried on throughout the book when they are put in the interviews, and Peeta tells all of the Capitol that he has had a crush on her since he can remember. Which is just so cute, I loved it so much. She got all embarrassed thinking that the crowd would see he as weak, but they didn't, they actually started to see her as attractive, if Peeta Mellark, a very handsome, friendly boy would have a crush on her, then maybe she really ins't that bad. She did come of to the crowd as rather stiff, and that did help her lighten things up.
      Peeta's love for Katniss followed through to the end when they were in the arena, and Peeta joined up with the Careers, kids who trained all their life to win the games, just so that he could lead them away from her. He protected her from people trying to kill her. All the way up until when he didn't want her to go to the feast and get him medicine that he needed when he had blood poisoning and was almost going to die, because he thought it was too dangerous and he didn't want her to get hurt. to the very end when he got upset because he found out that when in the arena, she only pretended to be in love with Peeta for the crowd so that they would get more sponsors, which would increase their chance of winning.
     I honestly adore Peeta Mellark for his love for Katniss. He's so true, and brave, and adorable, it makes be love the book even mroe just because of him, and I think that Suzanne Collins did a wonderful job at selling him to me. Great job Peeta, Suzanne.
