Katniss and Peeta

The characters of Katniss and Peeta are so different. Which one did you like more? Which surprised you more? Why do you think Collins made Katniss the main character rather than Peeta? Do you think the characters' backgrounds explain the differences between them?

I like both Katniss and Peeta (and Gale, for that matter) a lot, for different reasons. And I think Collins made the right choice by "starring" Katniss, because I'm not sure Peeta's head would be as interesting. As Katniss points out, he's just so pure/good. Whereas by being in her shoes, we get to see the moral dilemmas she wrestles with, the hard choices she has to make, and the conflicted feelings she has.
