If someone was looking at their relationship on the outside they would say that it was very confusing because they were just friends, but their relationship started changing into something more.

Peeta was different then Gale because he was sweet and sensitive. Peeta would watch Katniss when they were both young, but she never noticed him. She only first really noticed him when he threw out burnt bread for her one day when she was hungry. Peeta was a part of the richer families in district 12 that they live in so he was more well off than Katniss and the others. While during the games they started to pretend to be in love, but Peeta really was, but Katniss’s feelings started to develop later. Katniss has a different kind of feeling for Peeta because they were in both in the games together and she knows one of them has to die and she does not want to have to kill him.

    The emergence of the female heroine in young adult dystopian fiction is working to change stereotypical representations of women through texts. Women are often under represented, hyper-sexualised or lack complexity in modern works, with just 23% of films distributed globally from 2010-12 featuring female protagonists according to a report released by the Geena Davis Institute. While it is true that female protagonists have been seen over time, they are all too often represented in manners that focus on appearance, their domestic roles and subservience, or emphasized femininity (Connell & Messerschmidt, 2005). Cult classics like The Hunger Games and Divergent are working to empower young women through the characters of Katniss and Tris who are…

    In the Hunger Games, the most important similarities the movie shared with the book was making Peeta initiate the idea of him and Katniss being lovers. This is so significant because, without this, most of the main events in the book and movie would never have taken place. For one, this angle would have left Katniss to be just another face in the crowd, not making her stand out, which also meant fewer sponsors, decreasing her chances of survival. However, the most important reason for this is because Katniss would have left Peeta to die when he needed her the most and she would not have been able to plant the small seeds of defiance against the capital. In the movie and novel, the games take a surprising turn when an announcement goes out that…
