The Hunger Games and The Goonies are alike and different in the way they show the hero’s journey in their stories. An example of this is the Test/ allies/ enemies, ordeal, and reward. Each of the parts of the Hero’s Journey shows how the hero’s Journey is in many stories. In the test/ allies/ enemies part of the hero’s journey in the Hunger Games and the Goonies there are multiple differences and some similarities. One difference between the hunger games and The Goonies is that Kattniss's challenges are based on life-threatening things like starvation and being stung by venomous bugs, but in The Goonies it is more just them being scared for example the bats did not hurt anyone. In both The Hunger Games and The Goonies there are challenges that take strategic thinking. Katniss had to figure out how to blow up the supplies without sustaining an injury and in The Goonies had to figure out how to do the piano notes.in The Hunger Games, there is a definite enemy which is the capital and, in The Goonies the defiant enemy is the Fertiles. I know this because, in the whole book of The Hunger Games, the capital is trying to always be in control making the people’s lives miserable. And in The Goonies the Fertelis are trying to kill them.
