Question

What similarities do you see between The Reaping in The Hunger Games and The Ceremony of Twelves in The Giver?

Answer 1

Answer:

On the one hand, "The Ceremony of Twelve" takes place each year in December; at this time the Elders select the position that each Twelve will hold in the community. Since this is the final ceremony, it represents a rite of passage into adulthood and is, therefore, the most important ceremony performed for members of the community.

On the other hand, The reaping is a nerve-wracking time because it determines which boy and girl, ages 12 to 18, will serve as the district's tributes in the Hunger Games. Two tributes are drawn in each of the 12 districts, and those tributes are sent to an arena where they fight until only one tribute remains alive.

In both cases there is a ceremony in which adults pick children or teenagers to do something that they don't really want to do. They are picked for roles designated by elders or adults. They don't have a choice.
