I believe I would be a good director for "The Most Dangerous Game" because I am very creative and imaginative, I love movies and art and I believe movies are a form of art.

I think that the Westing Game would be a great movie to watch. There are many explanations of why I really think that this book would be an exciting movie, and one of them is because the book is an amazing mystery with many twists. At one part of the story, I found myself really confused because there were mysterious explosions caused by bombs going out in three different rooms. When I first read about the sudden surprises, I was befuddled by them. I became unsure of how they set off because there were no remains of anything that could have caused them to. At that time of the book, I was trying to think of who caused them to set off since I was told that there was a bomber at the beginning of the book.

Clearly, the excessive materialism produced by the new wealth has counter effects. West Egg represents the ability to obtain the American Dream but also the condemnation of pursuing it. Unlike West Egg, East Egg is filled with people who were born into money, and who are more socially refined and connected.

The Westing Game-The Westing Game is a novel that really opened my mind to face life challenges with an open mind that requires thinking outside the box and using the arts of cleverness and trickery to gain success.
