#Stuff taken out of the movies to make Peeta look weaker 😔

[tmylmip]

Something that really hadn't occurred to me until my most recent read through of the Hunger Games is how mentally strong Peeta is. When he was stung by the tracker jackers, he still had the mental capacity to fight Cato, tell Katniss to get out of the area, and camouflage himself to the point where nobody was able to find him. AND while Katniss was able to have her stings healed quickly thanks to Rue, Peeta wasn't that lucky.

It all makes it so much sadder in Mockingjay. If Peeta was able to endure that type of pain for so long, the torture Snow put him through with the tracker jacker venom had to be at least 5 times worse than that.
