THE HOBBIT
In J. R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel, The Hobbit, the hero is the Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo’s “Ordinary World” is his hobbit hole in Bag End in the Shire. At first glance, Bilbo Baggins seems to be the most comfortable hobbit in all of Hobbiton. However, after hearing the dwarves' song, a part of Bilbo begins to long for adventure. His “Call To Adventure” comes when the wizard, Gandalf, approaches him and asks if he wants to go on an adventure. Bilbo, at first, refuses to go with Gandalf on the adventure (“Refusing the call”). Gandalf puts a sign on Bilbo’s door and a band of dwarves come to his house and eat all his food. This is extremely unnerving for Bilbo (bad things happening after refusing the call). Gandalf serves as Bilbo’s “Mentor” throughout the story. Bilbo agrees to go with the dwarves to try and reclaim the treasure from a place called Lonely Mountain (“Crossing the Threshold”), and they begin their journey. One of Bilbo’s “Tests” is his encounter with the trolls in the woods. When they capture the dwarves, he must rescue his friends. The elves (“Allies”) in Rivendell take care of Bilbo and the other dwarves and prepare them for the journey ahead. They will also face various “Enemies” who want to prevent them from finishing their goal. Bilbo’s “Ordeal” is his journey to the heart of the goblin mountain and his encounter with Gollum, a twisted character, who he must outwit to save his own life. His “Supreme Ordeal” is when he participates in ‘the Battle of Five Armies,’ and his side succeeds. Bilbo’s “Reward” is his share of the dwarves’ treasure from the mountain.

THE HUNGER GAMES
In Suzanne Collins’ dystopian novel, The Hunger Games, the main hero is Katniss Everdeen. Her “Ordinary World” is in District 12, an impoverished region in the fictional country of Panem where she lives with her mother and little sister, Prim. She struggles to support her family, often hunting illegally to keep them fed, but poverty is not the only stress in her life. Every year, children between the ages 12 to 18 face the ‘reaping’: a ceremony that chooses participants for the Hunger Games, a contest where those participants must fight to the death. In the beginning of The Hunger Games, Katniss experiences her “Call to Adventure” while on a hunting trip with her childhood friend, Gale. He talks about running away, leaving District 12 to live in the woods. Katniss dismisses Gale's suggestion to run away because they both have families to take care of (“Refusing the Call). After refusing to run away, she attends the reaping ceremony. Out of the hundreds of entries, her little sister's name is chosen, which forces Katniss to volunteer in her sister's place in order to save Prim's life. Bad things have happened after Katniss “refused the call,” which leads to her “Crossing the Threshold” and participating in the Hunger Games. Haymitch Abernathy is her “Mentor” figure, a former victor of the Hunger Games from District 12. He advises Katniss and the other District 12 champion, Peeta, on how to survive the Hunger Games. The Gamemakers test Katniss and the other tributes on their skills, and their score usually determines how well they will do in the game (“Tests”). Katniss encounters allies and enemies both in and out of the arena. Cinna, her stylist and only friend in the Capitol, encourages Katniss and helps her win over the audience in her interviews. Peeta and Haymitch also work to help Katniss survive (“Allies”). Many of Katniss' competitors resent her and see her as a challenge (“Enemies”), but others, like the character Rue, create an alliance with Katniss. For the participants, the game itself is an ordeal; it forces them to kill or be killed. But for Katniss, the “Ordeal” occurs when Rue is killed. Rue's death forces Katniss to confront the injustice of the Hunger Games. Shortly after, Katniss is motivated to defy the Capitol by making sure she and Peeta survive. “The Supreme Ordeal” arrives at the end of the game, the Gamemakers announce that only one tribute may win, despite their earlier rule change that declared two could survive. Rather than attack each other, Katniss and Peeta agree to eat poisonous berries. They are stopped by the Gamemakers before they can do so, but their willingness to sacrifice their own lives instead of killing each other saves them. Survivors of the Hunger Games receive money
