B: Gladiators and tributes are sorta the same thing. Tributes were trained for barbarian combat just like roman gladiators. Gladiators were able to volunteer just like the tributes after the names where called. If they didn't want that person to go fight they could change out just like Katniss did for prim. Gladiators and tributes where like pawns in the game of their leaders. They were forced to fight against animals and other people to just like the gladiators had to.
C: The capital were just like roman leaders, they used gladiators and tributes for entertainment. The capital thought just like the roman leaders because they picked up and carried away the bodies so the audience doesn't get gorging feeling. The hunger games used a hover craft of some sort to pick up the bodies but Rome had to do it by hand. The capital were the bosses because they had the power to destroy any and everything so people obeyed them, just like what the Greek gods did with thmoment so they did as they were told.
