Metamorphosis vs The Hunger Games

While analyzing both Metamorphosis and The Hunger Games, I've realized many similarities and differences. Both books are very simple reads and have interesting stories that keep a reader intrigued. However, while Hunger Games targets an audience of younger kids/teenagers who enjoy reading adventure type books, Metamorphosis targets mostly an older audience of adults. But I do believe that while most Kafka's books are for adults, this book was able to attract a younger crowd of young adults because it is able to keep these teenagers intrigued with its unique story. The reason why I enjoyed these two books so much was their ability to relate different scenarios in the book to my life. In Kafka's Metamorphosis, "She brought him, to test his taste, an entire selection, all spread out on an old newspaper" (Kafka 23).  Kafka portrays how even though Gregor turned into a vermin, his sister loves him so much that she does anything she can to help him out in the beginning of the book. In Collins' The Hunger Games, ""I volunteer!" I gasp. "I volunteer as tribute!"" (Collins 21). Collins shows in this quote how Katniss loves her sister so much that she would volunteer herself in such a dangerous thing to protect her younger sister. District 12 hasn't had a volunteer in decades. These two quotes really jumped out to me because I was able to relate to them so well. Even though I can't imagine myself being a vermin or being apart of something like the Hunger Games, I could definitely see myself doing anything I can to help my brother or sister.
