Gale and Katniss... they never really seemed to love each other in the way that Katniss and Peeta does. I think that Gale and Katniss were meant to be best friends, nothing more. But certain people would think otherwise. Gale and Katniss were meant ot be hunting partners. Even though Gale and Katniss kissed, it wasn't the same as Katniss and Peeta kissing. She felt a 'spark' (that's what people in love calls it) with Peeta, but not with Gale.

Gale and Katniss met each other in the forest, so their relationship was meant to stay there, never really proceding in the love direction. But Katniss and Peeta met when she was starving and she was loking in his garbage for stale bread or something of the sort, and Peeta burnt the bread so that he can give it to Katniss.

Gale and Katniss' relationship was changed when she returned from The Hunger Games because she won and had to move to the victor's house, away from him. There are similarities between them because their fathers were killed in the same mine explosion, and they had to look after their families by hunting illegally and selling their possessions at the Hob.

Katniss and Peeta's relationship was also changed when the Hunger Games was finished. Katniss was faking her love for Peeta, but he wasn't faking his for her. He felt hurt when he realized that she didn't love him in the way that he loved her. They never really talked so much when they got back to District 12.

To answer your question, Gale wouldn't have been good for Katniss as much as Peeta. They didn't share the loving relationship as with her and Peeta.

How would The Hunger Games be different if gale had to go into The Hunger Games with Katniss?

If this had happened, first of all both Katniss and Gale's families would have starved and died without any providers. Also, Gale and Katniss probably would have stayed together and made an alliance. However, this may not have occurred because Gale and Katniss may not have wanted to kill each other. After this point, in the arena, Katniss and Gale probably would not have survived because Katniss was sought after because of her score. Based on the fact that both had good hunting skills, they would be both be around 11, and it would be strategized to kill them off first. To add, it would have been harder to hide with two people. Also, the alliance with Rue probably would not have benn made. In my opinion, if Gale had volunteered, I don't think either would have survived. There would be no Rue, nightlock, cave scenes, or blowing up of the food.


What is the main problem of gale in The Hunger Games?

Katniss feels as if Gale is hers and visa versa and when Katniss is pretending to love Peeta she is always worrying about what Gale will think back home - he is almost a distraction to her. Also, having a handsome man as a best friend was not good for the public for they might think that there is some kind of connection between Katniss and Gale so Gale is disguised as Katniss' cousin


Why is Gale being punished What do you think of Gale now Is he still a good match for Katniss?

Gale is being punished because he was caught with a turkey in his hand by the new head peacekeeper. The head assumed that Gale was hunting illegally, which he was, and he was beaten. I think that Gale is a very chivalrous man. He would fight for what is right and never back down. That's one of the main reasons why I'm on TEAM GALE!!!!!!!!!!! My opinion for the third question is stated as an answer to a similar question as this one. You will have to find it and read it, because right now I'm feeling sleepy and tired to type out any more. I think the question is 'Is Gale a good match for Katniss?'


Who is hotter- Gale or Peeta Mellark?

It is a matter of personal preference. Add your opinion to the discussion page.Gale wins. Katniss would never have even met Peeta if it wasn't for the games. The only reason Katniss pretended started to like Peeta is to win the games.Gale could better protect her whereas Katniss seems to spend a whole lot of her time trying to save Peeta, he apparently cannot take care of himself or help Katniss stay alive. All he does is endanger her.I disagree. Peeta is loving and caring and Gale is mean.Gale and Katniss could not have worked, especially since he might have invented the bomb that killed her sister. Which is why they never ended up together anyway. Peeta is much more caring whereas Gale is a bit more violent.Easy. Peeta is much better for Katniss than Gale is. Gale, for one, is a jerk. He killed Katniss' little sister, though he fails to admit it. Peeta actully admited he loved her. In front of her, and the whole nation. Then he was totally into the idea of dying to save her. Talk about devotion. What about Gale. I'm gonna sit in my little house and shoot bunnies why your trying to stay alive. By the way, I'm also planning to kill your little sister. It hard to see why Katniss chose Peeta.I think that Peeta is better for Katniss because he helps her hold on to the joy in lifeGale. One reason: He is so hot.Peeta. I've always wanted a guy like Peeta.Peeta and Katniss work better. Aside from Katniss never being able to be around Gale without remembering that he helped kill her sister, he is too much like her. Peeta is different and they balance each other out. Besides, Gale would never have been able to understand what Katniss went through in the arena and he would have been jealous if she talked to someone else about it.Gale loved Katniss and then it seems mean to Gale that Peeta just came in and took her. and Peeta had never even talked to Katniss before. He didnt know her at all. But Gale had been her best friend and he knew her so well. and Gale said that he would have done anything to be the one in that arena with her instead of Peeta.I totally like Gale better. Peeta kinda took Katniss away from him. Yet, it is hard not to like Peeta because he is so nice.I think Peeta is very nice. I have to admit he is awesome... but Gale is better.In the first book, I loved Gale all the way. And he is so hot in the movie. As for the character, I deceived Gale when he killed Prim, even though it was an accident. Peeta is so nice and affectionate, it's hard not to love him, but I had passion for Gale at first. So even though Peeta is sweet, Gale is awesome. I love team Gale.Peeta just is amazing Gale didn't love her he was just her friend. (Except when he asked her to run away with him.Peeta all the way. He's so much sweeter and kinder and anything else that's good! I mean when Peeta thought that Katniss chose Gale he didn't get jealous (or at least didn't show it). but when Gale found out that Katniss and Peeta were getting married (for the cameras) he turned on Katniss. Team Peeta forever.

Do Peeta and Katniss eventually feel happy about there marriage?

Katniss would not have married him if she did not love him. She always did, but was just confused with loving Gale too. When Gale's bomb killed Prim, she knew she could never love him. Peeta, she knew, wouldn't have been apart of the bombing because he is good and gentle. Peeta asks if she loves him and she says yes. She always did love him. Gale knew that she always did and always will love Peeta so he left to let them live their lives together. Peeta and Katniss could also always work together over their remaining hardships the Hunger Games left them with, and he knew he couldn't compete with that. Peeta can offer a lot more support and understanding then he can. I think, he always knew that.


What happens to Gale in Mockingjay?

At the end of Mockingjay, Gale moves to District 2 and gets a 'fancy job' working for the new government. Katniss ends up picking Peeta because he is a good compatibility for her personality, and because she can't get over what Gale did - he structured the tactic that killed Prim.

What questions can you ask Haymitch Abernathy about Katniss in the hunger games?

What happens in Mocking Jay?

** SPOILER **District 12 was destroyed in a bombing. Katniss, Gale, Prim, Mrs.Everdeen, Buttercup, and 600 other people from District 12 were saved and stayed in the underground District 13, that had been bombed long before. The Capitol took all the good memories Peeta had of Katniss and made them bad, so he wanted to kill her. Many people died. Primrose Everdeen, Katniss' sister, died from an explosion President Coin planned. Katniss was going to kill President Snow with an arrow but instead she shot the arrow at Coin for killing Prim. After that Gale got a job in District 2, Katniss' mom stayed in another district, and Peeta and Katniss went back to District 12 and had two children. There was no more Hunger Games.


How does Katniss feel about Peeta in The Hunger Games?

Katniss and Gale's relationship is, simply put, complicated. Gale has feelings for her, whereas Katniss doesn't really seem to return the favor. Katniss just like's Peeta more. She likes him, too. Just not as much as the baker's son.
