TTH project

  The night of my death started like this,  It was a normal night but this night I heard someone chuckling outside of my door.  I moved and squirmed in my bed thinking to myself it was a creature outside.  What scared me more was that my room was pitch dark I could see nothing.  I felt like someone was at my door but I got back on my bed. 

 I heard another noise after a while and I got from my bed and yelled " who's there ".  I stayed up for an hour but heard nothing else.  After a while of being laid  down on my bed on my eye I saw a small, thin light pointing right toward it.  I began to get scared and more and more my heart kept beating faster and harder. 

  Then I heard a scream and out of nowhere I saw him the person who had been looking at me all night.  He ran as fast as he could towards me he threw me on the ground and quickly he threw my bed over my face.  Many minutes I fought and fought to get out of it but I couldn't I was to old and I had lost most of my strength because of my age. 
 
  There was nothing else to struggle for I knew that I was about to be dead "Do you want to know who it was that committed this treacherous deed"? Of course you won't to know who the man that did this was.Well yes I do know who did this to me but that is a secret that will not be revealed by me only by who did it.

Hunger Games research project


Gladiators were Trained to fight and kill in special schools.Just like in the hunger games where the tributes go to train at a training center. Gladiators were trained to be ruthless and to not stop at nothing(Chris Heaton). Just like the careers in the hunger games.
Gladiators were trained by retired gladiators("Gladiator schools"). In the hunger games the tributes are trained by tributes who won.

Gladiators were mostly always forced to fight in the games.Tributes were the same they were chosen and taken by force.  However they also had the opportunity to volunteer.  In the Hunger Games if you wanted to you could substitute yourself for someone.  People volunteered to be gladiators for glory and fame.
Gladiators were put to fight not only against humans, but also animals.  In the Hunger Games they sent animals in to kill the tributes.  The crowd influences the fate of a gladiator enormously.  If they don't like one they will tell them to kill him.  In the Hunger Games the crowd influences the fate of the tribute.(The Roman Gladiator)
