Gladiators and Hunger Game Tributes

     Tributes and Gladiator are basically the same except, the Gladiator Retiarius was a very brave Gladiator because it use no amour to defend itself, kinda like the tributes Katniss and Peeta. They used no amour to fight the other tributes. Most gladiators used a spear, bow and arrow, knife, or sword. Like most tributes, Katniss used a knife in the beginning and then she moved on to a bow and arrow, Cato used a spear and sword and Glimmer used like a throwing knife.   The Gladiator Secutor resembles the career tributes the most because, the Scutor would chase around his opponents in the arena and wait for them to get tired ,and then he would go and kill his opponents. The Gladiator Retiarius was a very stealthy and fast gladiator ,and the tribute that would resemble him would be Rue because, she was very fast and able to climb trees like a monkey. The Gladiator Thracian was a gladiator that liked to wait and to strike at the right time. The tributes that would resemble him the most would be Katniss and Peeta because they camped it out untill they were the last ones alive, and then they went out and worked as a team and killed Cato.
