Hunger Games - Maze Runner (compare)

Hey everyone! Today I will be comparing two books that when I read them, I thought they were somewhat similar. This post will only be focusing on the first book in each series. Although they do have different story lines, they kind of have a similar vibe. (You know what I mean) Yes there will be spoilers about these two books so you have fair warning.

Similar:

children tossed in an arena and held there.

Different:

Hunger Games- children trying to kill each other
Maze Runner- children helping each other survive

Similar:

dystopian, post-apocalyptic

Different:

Hunger Games- stuck in a forest area
Maze Runner- stuck in a maze surrounded area

Similar:

themes are sacrifice.

Different:

Hunger Games- Katniss sacrifices herself for Prim
Maze Runner- Thomas sacrifices himself for the computer text code

Similar:

killing of innocent people to provide peace

Different:

Hunger Games- uses competition to keep civilians in order
Maze Runner- trying to find a cure for civilization

Similar:

think of other peoples lives before their own

Different:

Hunger Games- there is a love triangle
Maze Runner- no love triangle, but there is one love interest although I'm not sure if I would even consider it that much

Similar:

both hate their governments

Different:

Hunger Games- you need to be selfish and kill others to escape the games
Maze Runner- you need to be selfless and work together to escape the maze

I hope you enjoyed this little post! Thank you so much for reading! Enjoy the rest of your day
