Elks Vs Plumwood

In Richard Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game”, the protagonist character, Sander Rainsford is an adventurous and fearless big game hunter. Rainsford has no remorse for his prey. Over the course of the story Rainsford experiences a sudden change of heart when he finds himself where “The world is made up of two classes—the hunters and the huntees.”

- Characters: The main character is developed by what type of book the author is writing. My main character Sugar Mae Cole was developed because of the way she acts toward different characters in the book. And by her personality and sugars personality is sweet kinda like her name and she is polite. She is always trying to brighten the other characters up especially her mom Reba. She has a different personality that any of the other characters and connects with them in a different way that is what makes her the main character. she is cautious and also believes in people and things like her mom. Her mom Reba is about to give up but Sugar still believes in her and she believes she and her Mom will get a home and things will

Have you ever been in a life threatening situation? In the two stories “A Sound of Thunder” and “Being Prey” the main characters find themselves in a situation that could change their lives forever. Both characters find themselves in a dangerous situation that they try to get themselves out of. The two stories show a lot of similarities and differences in many different ways.

“The world is made up of two classes - the hunters and the huntees.” In the short story ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ which was written by Richard Connell there are two main characters, Rainsford and General Zaroff. Rainsford thought that General Zaroff wanted to hunt with him when in all reality General Zaroff wanted to hunt him(Rainsford) himself. Richard Connell uses irony, theme and characterization to develop the plot and characters. The use of these literary devices suggests that Connell wanted to make the story more interesting and suspenseful so the reader can enjoy reading it.

Though both stories have so many differences, they also share many similarities. Both stories, “The Sniper” and “The Most Dangerous Game”, have a dark, serious mood. This mood makes both stories more exciting and suspenseful. Both stories are about risks, which mean that deaths will happen in the story.

In both short stories, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell and ‘The Interlopers’ by Saki, two men have a conflict between each other. In ‘The Interlopers’ the enemies are two neighbor heirs, Ulrich won Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, who feud for the land of the Carpathian's, while in ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ these are two hunters, and one of them becomes a prey of another. These characters intrude into a natural environment, which is not human zone, what caused the consequences in “The Interlopers”.  Both authors reach similar endings without a real resolution to intrigue the readers with various options. Ominous and suspenseful mood of these stories help the readers to imagine upcoming mystery of their plots. However, there is a contrast

In both stories the theme is really obvious but they both have some similar parts of theme and they both have some parts that are different. In The Most Dangerous Game the theme is so cliche because it is Hunters Vs. The Hunted. In the beginning of the story Zaroff and Rainsford are as equals and they both are big-game hunters. In the Hunters In The Snow the theme revolves around Deception because there are three main characters in the Hunters in the Snow and they go on a hunting trip and before they can deceive anyone they would have to fool themselves before they could do so. In both stories they are already so similar because they both involve murder and hunting. In The Most Dangerous Game Zaroff was hunting people who came to Ship Trap Island and hunted them and was committing murder and in The Hunters in the Snow Tub shot Kenny and at the end of the story they took the wrong turn to the hospital and Frank and Tub let Kenny die. Frank and Tub would be suspects of Kenny’s murder.

A very important similarity between the stories, is that they both are in the view point of a Union soldier in the nineteenth century, during the civil war. The similarities between these two books combine the ideals of battle and war, also the resemblances show how alike the two protagonists of the stories are.

Sometimes two stories with similar themes can be different types of fiction. “Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff makes the statement that when someone wants something desperately, like validation from others, they will manipulate others and lose their humanity in the process. “Hunters in the Snow” is about three hunters who are in a power struggle. They go out on a hunting trip, where the hunter on the bottom of the food chain, Tub, shoots the one at the top, Kenny, causing the power structure to flip, and the death of Kenny. “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell has a theme that states that through a person’s experiences, they will lose their humanity and morals. The story is about an experienced hunter, Rainsford, who washes ashore

When faced with life threatening situations, people have different reactions that can either save them, or cause them to make a fatal mistake. Eckels, the main character in Ray Bradbury's science fiction short story, "A Sound of Thunder", travels back in time on a safari to hunt dinosaurs. Upon seeing a glimpse of the dinosaur, Eckels fails to obey the instructor, steps off the path, kills a butterfly and thereby causes a ripple in time that changes the future for the worst. However, Richard Connell's science fiction short story, "The Most Dangerous Game" exhibits a different response to danger. In the story, the main character, Sanger Rainsford, falls off his yacht on his way to go hunting

The minor characters in a story can play such a major role. In the novel, “The Strange Case of Dr .Jekyll and Mr.Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson, the readers are introduced to several minor characters, such as Lanyon, Enfield, Carew, and Poole, who help advance the plot. Hastie Lanyon was an old friend of Jekyll who wrote a letter to Utterson about what he witnessed, Richard Enfield told the story of the door , Sir Danvers Carew was murdered by Hyde, and Poole was Jekyll’s butler who got Utterson for help. These minor characters play a major role in the plot.

In the three short stories that have been read in this class they have something similar. Three stories are “The Most Dangerous Game”, “Liberty”, and “Sniper”. However, they have similar and different settings, characters, and conflict.

We as people should not mess with any animal in their own territory. In the stories “A Sound of Thunder” and “Being Prey”, the main characters do not listen to this law of the jungle. In “A Sound of Thunder” a man named Eckels ventures into the past to hunt the tyrant lizard. In “Being Prey” Val Plumwood, a biologist, visits Kakadu National Park in Australia and becomes the target of a cold-blooded killer. These stories are very different but, very similar in setting, theme, and conflict.

In order to know who the protagonist of a story is, it is essential to know what a protagonist is. According to Literary Devices, “A protagonist is the central character or leading figure in poetry, narrative, novel, or any other story”. This means that the protagonist is the main character of the story. The story revolves around this character and the conflict affects them. A protagonist is usually an honorable and sincere person who looks out for others. For a character to be the protagonist, the audience must be able to relate to that character. They also have to have a flaw that the audience can personally connect to.

Another similarity would be the characters in both stories. They are faced with the hard reality as they come to find out they weren't living in
