Name, between the lines

I suddenly feel bad for calling Polar Bear Polar Bear. It doesn't suit his mature personality. I suddenly feel so child-like. It's so uncool for him. I've never thought about what his friends may think when they happen to read me, and find out about his nickname. But I don't really mind what others think. His view matters than anyone else. Even if he never complains about it. Sorry dear, I'll figure out a new name for you. Something that is you.

May I call you Peeta? :P Okay, I'm so into the Hunger Games trilogy recently. I've finished reading them and I can't wait for the movie to come out. The story goes around Peeta, Katniss, and Gale. I can't say much of Katniss, she is the main character in the story. Beside her misadventure, she was much caught up in her love triangle between Peeta and Gale. Although my first preference goes to Peeta, I must admit that Gale has won my empathy since the beginning. I could relate to him more, his independence and survival skills attract me. That makes him a man in my point of view. I saw Polar Bear in him, although Polar Bear likens himself to Peeta's characteristics more. But (warning: spoiler alert) it's not until the end that I grow fonder of Peeta. I think he fights for humanity more than Gale does. Gale's vengeance, although his reason is much influenced by the fact that his people being downtrodden, makes him a merciless person toward his enemy. Maybe that's why my fondness of him abated toward the end of the trilogy. I wish he's shown a bit of benevolence, just like what Peeta did to earn the first place in my preference list.

Okay, probably I should call you PeeGale (but it sounds like pig-ale, bad idea). Maybe I should stick to "Polar Bear" instead :P
