(Theseus and the Minotaur with the Hunger Games)

Theseus and the Minotaur is the story about a prince who slayed a beast with a head of a bull and the body of a human known as a Minotaur. the Hunger Games is about a girl Katniss and the quest to defeat everyone and win the Hunger Games and a quest of survival. these two stories have similarities such as the fact that both main characters were full of the same kind of personalities. Both Theseus and Katniss were full of bravery to kill their foes though their foes were more violent and terrifying to their eye.  Another similar personality is that they were full of courage when hey faced their biggest nightmares. this proves that Katniss is just as powerful as Theseus. They both seems active and focussed on their goal and it's worth. However, there are huge differences between the two stories such as the fact that "The Hunger Games" is more life risking than Theseus and the minotaur. this is because in" Theseus and the Minotaur" Theseus has to slay the beast the Minotaur so it is one against one but in "The Hunger Games" Katniss is facing people with the same skills and accuracy as her, some of which are more deadly and faster killers, those with little compassion but high self suffiency. These people are from eleven
other districts. 
Another thing that makes both stories so different is that Theseus had a choice to either be brave enough to fight the Minotaur or to chicken out. Katniss was on the battlefield and had no choice but to kill to be able to survive as she had volunteered in the Hunger Games for the protection
of her sister. Also since Theseus was a prince he was awarded with a feast rather than with money whereas Katniss was awarded with money for winning the Hunger Game with Peeta and her family had very little before the Hunger Games.  The Hunger Games is more of a challenge on how long Katniss can survive but Theseus puts himself on a quest to end all the fear.
