Peeta is wealthier than the rest of the people because his dad is a shopkeeper. They eat the stale items that no one buys from their bakery. He goes to school with Katniss. He gives Katniss some bread after Katniss' dad dies in a mine crash and they are going without food. Katniss tries to make money by selling Prim's clothes but ends up almost passing out from hunger. Katniss walks behind the bakery to dig through the trash when Peeta's mother yells at her. Peeta burns two loaves of bread, pretends to give them to the pigs, but instead gives them to Katniss. He was beaten by his mom for burning bread.
Peeta first fell in love with Katniss when his dad pointed her out to him before school, telling him that he wanted to marry her mother. Then, he knew when he heard her sing.
Peeta is chosen to be the boy tribute. He has little support from his parents and his dad tells him that Katniss might win. In the games, he pairs up with the Careers in order to protect Katniss. After the tracker jacker nest attacked them, Peeta tells Katniss to run because Cato is coming to kill her. Cato arrives and battles him, which ends up in Peeta getting blood poisoning. Peeta camouflages himself in order to stay alive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
