Gale vs Peeta

So after recent discussions with other people who have read the Hunger Games books a topic came up about who is the better person, whether it was Gale or Peeta. Some people, you know who you are, think that Peeta is better than Gale because he is nicer and better for Katniss, this however is not true and Peeta got lucky to have Katniss. He did not have the courage to talk to her before the reaping and afterwards the only reason he did was because he was going to die. Gale on the other hand is independent and knows Katniss better than Peeta does and has always been there for her, while Peeta is lucky to be alive. Also Peeta surprised Katniss with the whole in love with her thing and therefore almost tricked her into liking him because they had to for the audience and to survive. If it was not for that, they would have never met and he would have died. I am not saying that Peeta is a bad person I am just saying that Gale is clearly better; he can hunt, survive and support a family while Peeta can bake bread and hide in mud.
