For those of you who don't know, The Hunger Games Discussion Saturdays is a weekly meme (hosted by us....it was our first meme EVER) and we basically just discuss The Hunger Games...we will continue to do so until we EXHAUST the topic...that may take a very long time. We have at LEAST until 2015 (Mockingjay part 2 movie release)
Do you think Katniss would have still chosen Peeta if Gale hadn't done what he did?

I believe Katniss still would have chosen Peeta...because she was in LOVE with him (I don't know why I'm speaking past tense) She realized this in Catching Fire...on the beach. During Mockingjay when they were traveling Katniss told Peeta everything she knew about him, i.e his favorite color (sunset orange!!!) and how he double knots his shoelaces, etc. Then she ran off crying. She was completely in love with him. She cried when he died in Catching Fire and even though Gale says "She will choose whoever she can't live without" I don't know if that's how she based her decision. She really really loved Peeta and thats why she chose him. Also I believe what Gale did factored into her decision...but it didn't really change her choice, it just made it easier to follow through. So I know Gale was never really an option for Katniss. (at least once the Games began....I know for certain she would have married him if she wasn't in The Hunger Games)

YES! Definitely, because he didn't do the unmentionable until the third book and I am a firm believer that she fell in love with Peeta in the first book. The games are what brought Peeta and Katniss together. She definity loves him and she always has ever since the bread, even if she never knew it. But, Gale kind of dissappeared at the end of the book and got married but I believe that if Peeta hadn't been chosen he wouldn't have gotten married like Gale, he would have loved her forever. Gale just moved on he couldn't have loved her that much.
