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)
