In The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, the character Peeta is shown at being incredibly gifted at communication skills. Although he might not be as proficient at some survival skills as Katniss, Peeta uses his communication skills to protect both of them. Examples of Peeta’s communication skills are exhibited throughout the book; however, one of the most notable example of his communication skills occur during his interview with Caesar.

During the interview with Caesar, Peeta uses his communication skills to gain the audience’s favor. According to Katniss, this gift seems to occur naturally for Peeta. He utilizes this skill to cause the audience to feel sympathy and compassion for both Peeta and Katniss by declaring his love for her. As Katniss illustrates:

“The roar of the crowd is deafening. Peeta has absolutely wiped the rest of us off the map with his declaration of love for me.”

Although Katniss does not instantly appreciate Peeta’s announcement during the interview, Haymitch convinces her that Peeta’s communication skills are a blessing to her. Before the interview, Katniss was preparing what to say and how to act during her time with Caesar; however, her communication skills were simply not as strong as Peeta’s natural abilities. As a result, Peeta’s skills help Katniss in a way that she could never have accomplished on her own. As Haymitch states:

“Do you think he hurt you? That boy just gave you something you could never achieve on your own.”

As a result of Peeta’s skils, Peeta and Katniss receive more support and sponsors who help them survive the hunger games. Although Peeta’s skills might not be as impressive to some people, he uses his ability to help them survive.
