In the book Scorpia the main character is a teenager much like Katniss from the book The Hunger Games. The are both teenagers who were dragged into a situation. Neither of them wanted anything to do with what they were dragged into. In Scorpia the main character Alex rider had his uncle/ guardian murdered and after that he was pulled into the intelligence agency that his uncle was previously. He was chosen by them and had no choice whether to join them or not. Katniss from the book The Hunger Games was pulled into the hunger games because her sister was picked. She had to volunteer because she didn't want her little sister to risk her life.
They were both obviously dragged into their situation and didn't have a choice whether to go or not. The were both young. Many would even consider them as children. They were forced to risk their lives and both were nearly killed. They are both connected in a very similar way. The main difference in the two is the reason why they were forced and the time period. The Hunger Games takes place in the future while Scorpia takes place in present day. Alex Rider was forced to work with these people and they sent him on missions as part of the M16. Katniss was part of the hunger games which is a battle to the death. Obviously these two general ideas are very well connected. The idea that they were both forced to do things that they really didn't want to do.
These are some nice connections between two seemingly completely different books! I like how you emphasized the main point (that they were both forced into a dangerous situation) while inserting smaller ideas. I would also like to see how you connect with your book. Do you feel you personally understand any of the main character's feelings? How does their life and/or personality connect with yours? These might be some good ideas to consider.
