I was begining to think I was the only one. And I definitely agree with you, guys should put God first. I read a quote that said, "A girl's heart should be so lost in God, that a man should have to seek him first to find her." I really love that quote because it reminds both us girls and Kenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228970225607206531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503640.post-11221909024581846582012-04-07T15:54:19.313-07:002012-04-07T15:54:19.313-07:00Disclaimer: I only just started Mockingjay.
Madie...Disclaimer: I only just started Mockingjay.<br /><br />Madie and Anonymous, I like how Peeta is very self-sacrificing. My only problem with him is that before the Games, he never even spoke to her. How can you really love someone if you've never even spoken to them? That kind of borders on stalkishness, although Peeta is not a stalker.<br /><br />Here's something that I've noticed a Camy Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577747925320907186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503640.post-76942170841454661212012-04-04T06:51:15.847-07:002012-04-04T06:51:15.847-07:00The entire series is really good, although I haven...The entire series is really good, although I haven't finished the third book. The second book is really good and has just as much action as the first one.

Gale's anger and lack of heroism is contrasted against Peeta's ability to be the moral centre, someone who Katniss, in her own words I think, can always count on to be chasing after the right thing. I think Suzanne Collins is saying something powerful about Peeta's capacity for Charleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351615962556059408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503640.post-40911977836616560612012-04-01T17:59:24.489-07:002012-04-01T17:59:24.489-07:00I need to read the third book, and so far I comple...I need to read the third book, and so far I completely agree. At first, Gale seemed like the perfect guy, what with the talk of running off together. Then later on, when Peetah was talking about how much he loved Katniss, my heart just melted. I'm a softy, I admit, I get it from my dad :) I'm only 13, but I've found if you seek human companion first, you usually end up disappointed.

I still semi agree with you, but I also this Peeta is kinda a jerk. He makes Katnis love her and I don't think that's fair for a girl.

I'm going to stick with the books even though I'm not thrilled with the story in the middle of book 2, only because I really want to know how everything ends!
