BR#2: The Hunger Games

   Have you ever imagined what it would be like to talk to your favorite book character? I have. In a recent book I have read, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, my favorite character would have to be Peta. Peta is one of the main characters, later in the book, but not at the very beginning. Peta is chosen along with Katniss to represent their district in the hunger games.
   If I were able to talk to Peta, I would ask him what was going through his mind during the games, would he of died for Katniss, if he never would of been chosen would he ever approached Katniss? Just pretty much simple questions, questions that most people would ask. I would imagine his answer for the first question to be, "Just trying to survive", and if he truly cared about Katniss I would expect him to say "Trying to protect Katniss and make sure she was safe." I would also expect him to say he would of died for Katniss. But if The Hunger Games never would of happened, I do not think he would of ever approached Katniss, I do not know why I think that, something just tells me that's what would happen.
   If I was ever going to really talk to Peta, I would sit down and think about questions I would ask him. These questions just came off the top of my head. Who knows, maybe one day I will get the chance to talk to him.
   If I could change the ending of this book, I would not have both Peta, and Katniss surviving. I would probably choose Katniss. No I have not read the other books, but that would make for a better story when Katniss returned home. Gail would be able to come in the picture sooner. At the end when Katniss kills the guy on the top of the cornucopia, after he falls off, Peta would realize that Katniss accidently shot him too. Peta would not want to suffer so he would eat the berries. That is how I would end the story.
