If you ask me which series I like better, "The Hunger Games Trilogy," or "The Twilight Saga," I would choose "The Hunger Games," because Katniss has a want. Bella on the other hand does not have a want, which doesn't make anything interesting. She's just like, "I don't know who I should choose. Will it be Edward or Jacob?" Katniss has a want. She wants to be free from the Capitol's custody.
In Twilight, you meet Bella's dad who's living in Forks, Washington. Then you meet all the other characters at a high school lunch table. There's another table. That's where the Cullens( the secret vampires) sit. Over the course of the book, Bella and Edward get closer, due to Edward saving her life several times. But at the end, when a vampire is hunting Bella down for her blood, and has drained her, Edward revives Bella. So... yeah, it's your basic vampire-teen romance novel. It's cliched
The Hunger Games is unique. It's inspired by ancient Rome, and an ancient saying, "Panem et Circenses." The saying means, "Bread and Circuses." That's what runs the dystopian country. Literally. There's a Capitol ringed by once 13, now 12 districts. The Districts provide bread, symbolizing human wants and necessities, and circuses, which represent, entertainment. The story follows Katniss, a girl who lives in the poverty of District 12. But annually the capitol makes all the districts offer 1 girl and 1 boy tribute to participate in the annual Hunger Games. Teenagers between the ages of 12-18 are forced enter their names in the giant glass ball for the reaping. When her sister, Prim's, name is reaped, Katniss bravely volunteers as tribute. She fights to death againts the 23 other people, and wins with the boy from her district, Peeta, which is irregular, because only one tribute is supposed to win.
Twilight continues into three other books, just describin her confusion between Edward and Jacob. I mean, come on! Really? It's been used a billion times.
The Hunger Games continues, expressing Katniss's will to destroy everything, her growing hate, her want, the Capitol's reign of torture, and becoming the Mockingjay.
