The Boy in Love with The Girl on Fire
My favorite literary character is Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games trilogy. Peeta is a teenage boy from District 12 who is chosen in the reaping to compete in the Hunger Games. He is one out of twenty-four tributes, and they will have to fight to the death until one victor remains. Out of all twenty-four tributes there is one tribute he knows he will not be able to brutally murder. That one tribute is Katniss Everdeen. She is the other tribute from District 12. Katniss is the girl Peeta has been in love with since preschool. Throughout the first Hunger Games they go through, he sacrifices himself by joining the Careers, which is a group of highly trained tributes. By joining this group, he leads the careers in the opposite direction of Katniss to keep her safe. Peeta shows his love by protecting her. I personally believe that all true friendships shows the same care that he does. Peeta and I don’t have many similarities, but in his situation I would have done the same for the person I dearly love.

I really liked it! I was actually thinking about doing peeta myself but I ended up doing percy jackson
ReplyDeleteExcellent title! I saw it on my screen and thought "Man, I have to read that!" I also though you did an excellent job of explaining all of Peeta's feeling for Katniss. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love the way that you described Peeta and the way you made the similarity between the two of you. I did the character of Katniss because she really speaks to me and i can see that Peeta clearly speaks to you.
ReplyDeleteThe title goes very well with your post, and I agree that Peeta portrays his love to Katniss by joining the Career group. Excellent post Morgan, it is very well written.
