1. I'm sooo Team Peeta.
2. I convinced this (older) lady at my parish to read the Hunger Games, and oddly enough she did! HAHA! We were discussing it.. you know, what "team" you are.. and she said that she LIKED Gale! What?! I probably had a few flies come in and out of my mouth while I stared at her, questioning her sanity. Now remember, I have read all three books (in 3 or 4 days.. how long did it take you to read the series?) but never, not even once, ok maybe once, liked or had any form of admiration for Gale. The one time being when he promised to take care of her family in the first book. We spoke about this and now I guess where all those "Team Gale" fans are coming from.
(SPOILER ALERT) Her side was this: Gale "loved her more" because he knew that Peeta was better for her. He knew he could never come back so she would end up with Peeta. And there's no way that Peeta wouldn't come back for her and take the best care of her. I guess this reminds me of the story in the Bible. When the two women wanted the baby so the King said to split the baby and half so they could both have the baby. It was a test. One woman decided to give up the baby in order to not hurt it. She proved to love the baby the most by letting go. This is kind of like the saying, "If you love them, you love let them go." Ugh. I'm still Team Peeta 100%. But I understand Gale and his reasoning better.
Gale or Peeta? The choice is yours..
