Well, since they're the same genre and in fact the same subgenre, it's not surprising to see similarities. However, Katniss is initially fighting for her own family within the status quo of her society, while Jake et al are fighting to prevent a negative change in theirs. That makes for significant differences in the character arcs.
As for the endings, Mockingjay ended on a much more hopeful note than did #54, and that's really saying something.
