The Hunger Games Vs. Maze Runner

10.) The setting of this story affects the story a lot. All the story is, is the kids trying to escape the glade. Glade is a meadow the size of several football fields surrounded by gigantic walls that fall in the middle of a vast maze formed by walls of ivy. The weather is always perfect, the food is delicious, and the boys spend their time like colonial re-enactment people: farming and raising livestock. Other than the atmosphere being so claustrophobic and the huge monsters, life isn’t too bad. Even though life is okay, who wants to live in a place with no real family. It is so critical that the story takes place in the glade so they will have to escape the place. They have to escape the place by solving the maze, and if it wasn’t

They aren’t exactly the same, but they are really close. The setting is both a post-apocalyptic future. In both stories kids are chosen and thrown into an arena. The Hunger Games’ arena being the games, the Maze Runner’s being the Glade. The arenas both serve the same reason, for the kids to escape them. Though the details are different they both are definitely survival stories. They also both embrace the science fiction genre. In both Hunger games and Maze runner, two authors both used the main character Katniss and Thomas to emphasize their theme - sacrifice, stating the theme that in order to achieve your goal, something else has to be sacrificed. Thomas sacrificed himself to the grievers to remember the computer code while Katniss sacrificed what seemed like her life for her 12-year-old sister, Prim. There are also very small similarities. For instance, in both books the youngest of the group dies. Also there is one person who challenges the authority in the book. Another is that both the areas are limited. Both the participants believed lies and didn’t know why they were dying. In both of the movies there was indirect conflict with the participants through a bunch of creatures and challenges. In both of the movies the experts died and the underdog lived. Even though there are many, many differences between “The Maze Runner” and “The Hunger Games” there are a lot of similarities too.
5.) I would NEVER want to live in this place. Despite the Glades perfect weather, temperature, and the food being great it would be a horrible place to live. One, you would be stuck with the same people and it’s either you hate them or love them. Two, your family wouldn’t be there. Three you wouldn’t even have a memory of your normal life. Lastly who wants to have nasty monsters surrounding
