Roman Gladiators

 Roman Gladiators

I finished the book "The Hungers Games" with my classmates and this is my research i did about Roman Gladiators because i read that it was one of the authors inspirations for writing the book .

I went on the internet and found some websites about Roman gladiators, but only some gave me good information good. It gave me great information like..... The first gladiator contest was held in year 264 B.C. They did it to honor someones death(Heaton). Gladiator fights took place in amphitheaters. They were staged after animal fights and public executions(Dunkle).

After i looked up facts about the Roman gladiators i started to find out how it connects to the hunger games because that's what this research is mainly about. The Roman gladiators fought for entertainment just like the tributes in the hunger games. They gladiators had an "Organizer of the games" just like the game-makers in the hunger games, but the organizer wasn't responsible for making the fights more exciting. They were just there for setting them up and replacing the gladiators when they died. Gladiators could volunteer to be in the fights, almost like when Katniss volunteered for Rue in the reaping(Heaton). The gladiators could only participate in the fights if they were physically able; so they couldn't be sick or anything before the fights. The gladiators were trained in special school's like the tributes had training center's. Just like the rebellion district 13 had, there was one with the gladiator's against a king named Spartacus; and finally, the organizer's tried to keep the crowd pleaser's alive like Katniss and Peeta(Grout).

I choose Roman gladiators because i think that connects the most with "The Hunger Games" as far as the games go; and i jut love the actions the gladiators bring. Fighting to the death now that's what i like. Gladiators are really interesting, that's why i chose them for my research project.

Hunger Games Blogout!!!

So Katniss and Peeta are stuck in a cave because it's been raining for like 3 days straight! I don't know if it's the game maker's trying to make them starve or what. Haymitch sent Katniss and Peeta another gift because Katniss FINALLY opened up to Peeta. I think that they need to go hunting soon, and i wouldn't plan on Cato killing Thresh. Just saying.

Hunger Games 20-21

I re-thinking the idea of Katniss teaming up with Peeta because, he's being stubborn and he's not doing anything but dieing. There's going to be a lot of stuff at the cornucopia. Probably the medicine Peeta needs for his leg........I don't think she should go though.

Cant't beileve Rue died but, Katniss got him. Now there is only six people left in the games. IM so happy there is a rule change so now Katniss and Peeta can win the games together........if she can find him.

Hunger Games Response

I just got done reading chapter twelve and it was nerve racking, in chapter 13 When Katniss was getting fireballs launched at her; I thought she was going to run into Peeta and fight him; but chapter 14 change my whole perspective. It was smart that she threw they nest on the careers while they were sleep because they were looking at her the whole time while she was in that tree. I still dont think she's going to die because, she's the main character and she CAN'T die yet. That's my response.

Strategy Quickwrite

I personally think that the best strategy to win the hunger games is to camp somewhere, kill anybody that walks past you; set a lot of snares so nobody can get in. but you shouldn't do that the whole time because i'm sure the game maker's have set up a couple of snares themselves just in case the games are going kind of slow.

Utpopia

In my perfect world there are no wars, kids get video games for free, the economy is amazing. There are alot of jobs, peopke get paid good money where they work, and it rains milk. Nobody would be homeless. Nobody would do really bad things like kill people. Everybody would die from natural causes. If people were mad at a certain somebody they would just talk out there problems.
