Answer: In both, people fight for their lives. It contributes because The Hobbit and The Hunger Games follow Campbell’s formula for “The Hero’s
Explanation: In the 1940s, the writer and professor, Joseph Campbell, noticed that a lot of his favorite stories shared a similar structure. He wrote about it in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Today, this story structure is popularly known as “The Hero’s Journey.” Campbell’s Hero’s Journey structure shows up all over literature, no matter the genre. The Hero’s Journey stories are so compelling because we like to see heroic characters overcoming great obstacles; we admire these heroes and hope to be like them.
I believe the correct answer is: “…the two pilgrims successfully resist Flatterer, who tries to trap them with a net, and Atheist, who tries to convince them that the Celestial City does not exist.”
In this excerpt from “Pilgrim's Progress” (1678), a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan, specific characters that serve as an allegory for distractions that one must resist to live a life of faith are Flatterer and Atheist which try to divert tempt Christian and Hopeful from the proper path. Therefore, the quotation that best develops this idea is:
“…the two pilgrims successfully resist Flatterer, who tries to trap them with a net, and Atheist, who tries to convince them that the Celestial City does not exist.”
P.S. Note that if it wasn't plural, the main distraction would be Apollyon, a form of Satan, as the Satan was tempting Christ the most in the desert.
