They actually do rescue Peeta, and he is returned safe. “Alive and well – maybe not well but alive and here. Away from Snow. Safe. Here. With me. In a minute I can touch him. See his smile. Hear his laugh.” It is later followed by: “Peeta’s awake already, sitting on the side of the bed, looking bewildered as a trio of doctors reassure him, flash light in his eyes, check his pulse. I’m disappointed that mine was not the first face he saw when he woke, but he sees it now. His features register disbelief and something more intene that I cant quite place. Desire? Desperation? Surely both, he sweeps the doctors aside, leaps to his feet, and moves towards me. I run to meet him, my arms extended to embrace him. His hands are reaching for me, too, to caress my face, I think. My lips are just forming his name when his fingers lock around my throat.” This shows that now Katniss has a new problem: to get Peeta out of Snow’s ‘spell;’ to snap him out of trying to kill

I am reading To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee. The book is about a family that lives in a small town called Maycomb, Alabama and takes place during the great depression. It is a very small town where everyone knows each other. However there is an outsider, Mr. Radley that the kids in town, Jem, Scout, and Dill want to know more about. In this journal I will be predicting and evaluating.
Peeta Mellark’s Hero’s Journey At first, Peeta Mellark was a shy, abused boy who worked at his family bakery. He used to like Katniss at this time and was displeased with the government, but stood as a bystander as he saw Gale be with Katniss and the Capitol harassing the citizens of Panem. Throughout the series, Peeta transformed from his old self, to an outgoing, strong, with a leadership, and he got closer to the love of his life, Katniss, additionally, he worked to stay alive, not to make bread. By the end of the series, Peeta became a leader who is strong, outgoing, and respected by the people and had the love of his life by his side.
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, is a dystopian book about Katniss, the face of the rebellion, who joins her friends and allies to lead a revolution against the Capitol and to save her boy friend Peeta. Katniss Everdeen, Finnick Odair, and Gale Hawthorne are in district 13 and take orders from President, Coin. They are going on their mission to rebel against the Capitol and kill their enemy, President Coriolanus Snow. In the end Katniss saves Peeta and continues her rebellion, but she kills President, Coin instead of President, Snow after she realises that they both are equally evil.

This novel demonstrates the conflict of person vs. self as Katniss is facing her own inner struggle of deciding who she truly loves. She has difficulty choosing between Gale and Peeta. As she contemplates choosing Peeta over Gale, it clearly states that she will feel some sort of regret not being with Gale. She realizes that if she choose Peeta “[she] will never have a life with Gale, even if [she] want to. [She] will never be allowed to live alone.
However, Katniss shows anxiety after the games, chapter 27, page 372 it says, “Peeta’s so pale and still on a silver table, tubes and wires springing out of him every which way, and for a moment I forget we’re out of the Games and I see the doctors as just one more threat, one more pack of mutts designed to kill him. Petrified, I lunge for him, but I’m caught and thrust back into another room, and a glass door seals between us. I pound on the glass, screaming my head off.” This just shows how much anxiety that she has for Peeta, and how the
Throughout the book they start to become friends and realize many things they didn’t really know they would learn. In the beginning of the book Peeta tried to help Katniss in many ways.

There’s also the fact that the Capitol is forcing their relationship, since the moment that Peeta announced to the world that he was in love with Katniss during an interview with Caesar. The two are also told by Haymitch that he “... wants them together at all times. Not one second will two spend out in public without each other, got it?” (Collins 103).
Chapter 27: Katniss waits as other members of the team are introduced onstage, and then it’s her turn, and she sees that Peeta is already there, standing a few feet from her. She runs to him, giving him a hug, and he kisses her until Haymitch makes them stop. They sit together on a loveseat, and Katniss cuddles up next to Peeta as they watch the highlight reel of the Hunger Games. It documents all the tributes’ deaths, as well as the scenes between Peeta and Katniss that seem to tell a love story. Katniss is grateful for the video’s edits, which have been designed to make her appear madly in love.
