Katniss chooses Peeta instead of Gale, because Gale holds to much rage and Katniss has her own to deal with anyway. Peeta on the other hand does not hold rage at all. Plus they have been threw so much together, so why wouldn't she pick Peeta?

That she has been hunting for most of her life and that killing animals is similar to killing people, if your life depends on it.
Actually, there is no reason for Katniss to trust Peeta and in fact Katniss should trust Gale.
Trust is a theme in The Hunger Games, because Katniss is always questioning who is actually on her side throughout the entire series. For example, if you kiss the wrong person, you might end up stabbed or shot. If you have read the books, you should know that she only questions people's trust in the arena and when District 13 and The Capitol are at war.
she realizes she can trust him, and he was trying to help her, but i really think the reason Peeta went with the careers was because he didn't want to die, he knew no-one would attack him if he was with them so he joined them.
He was refering to how he said to Ceasar Flickerman in the interviews that he had a crush on Katniss forever. He said 'Haymitch told me you would take a lot of convincing' because Katniss didnt believe that he liked her, even though he did.
Technically, only one. Peeta tells Caesar that he killed Brutus in the 75th Hunger Games. This was his only direct kill. Many people say that he killed Foxface too, but he didn't. Foxface died because she stole some poisonous berries from Peeta. Peeta hadn't fed them to her, he didn't even know that she had taken them until she died from eating them. And in the 74th Hunger Games, Peeta just pretends that he killed the girl who lit the fire next to Katniss's tree. This was a lie to build the Careers' trust, so he could protect Katniss from them. The only reason the cannon didn't fire when Cato killed her, was because the Gamemakers were signalling that Katniss was treed next to them. Peeta went back to 'finish her off' but didn't do anything since she was already dead.
It means that when Peeta is being kind to Katniss, it's harder for her to hate him, and if she doesn't hate him, she can't kill him. She needs to kill him if she wants to win The Hunger Games.
