`` Garbage `` By Andy Mulligan

From the words of C.S. Lewis, “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny”. Facing hardships and breaking free from their normal world allows the hero inside of people to come out. Many stories document this journey of a hero through the Hero’s Journey Archetype. In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, a man named Rainsford stumbles upon an island where humans are hunted by a crazed man. The hero’s journey archetype is implemented throughout Rainsford’s experiences in the story. Richard Connell used the Hero’s Journey Archetype to structure the plot and develop the theme that with clever thinking and lots of hope, one can succeed at anything.

In order to feel satisfied, humans naturally find an activity to do when they encounter themselves no longer entertained. In the case of “The Most Dangerous Game,” written by Richard Connell, General Zaroff creates exactly what the titles states, the most dangerous game, a game of hunting the only animal that can reason: humans. This is quite ironic because Zaroff has all the wealth and power to do anything, but creates this game only to escape his boredom. Connell wrote “The Most Dangerous Game” with Rainsford as the main character, a role most typically associated with the archetypal hero. However, with an understanding of the story, readers question whether Rainsford really is the hero, his values of humans and animals, and the possibility of him becoming the villain, provoking readers to realize that the cycle of violence and oppression goes on even if believed to already be conquered.

Socially, globalization impacts the lives of people by impacting their work, their families, and their societies. This is because globalization affects the security of a country, its culture, and identity by introducing new ways of thinking and living. In the article, The Case for Contamination, the author Kwame Anthony Appiah, observes

The hunt is on in the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” written by Richard Connell. Sanger Rainsford, the main character, falls victim to General Zaroff’s abhorrent game, but to avoid his almost certain death he uses his knowledge of hunting against Zaroff. He constructed three different traps to slow Zaroff down. The first was a Malay mancatcher that injured Zaroff’s shoulder. The second, a Burmese tiger pit that killed one of his dogs, and the third was a trap he had learned in Uganda that killed Ivan.

Whenever you hear the word evil or immoral, what pops up into your head? The character General Zaroff from a story called “The Most Dangerous Game” written by Richard Connell pops up into my head. General Zaroff is a man who lives on an island called Ship-Trap Island. Zaroff proves his immorally so many ways in the story. He lures sailors onto this island by using a bright light to trap them into a fake cannel, kidnaps the sailors, and then hunts them. Zaroff is an evil person who kills humans for the fun of it. Zaroff considers killing humans a sport, does not think it is murder, and forced the main character, Rainsford, in the book to be hunted.

Whenever people go to the movies or read a book, they long for an interesting story to be entertained by. Whether it is action filled or suspenseful, they want a stimulating plot that makes them feel good. In 1952, Carl Foreman wrote the screenplay for a movie called High Noon; a classic tale of when the hunter becomes the hunted. Then in 1924, Richard Connell wrote another classic, called "The Most Dangerous Game". Although both stories demonstrate similar examples of the setting and conflict, the main characters react very differently to the unusual situations they find themselves stuck in.

Similar to the societal explanation, the cognitive explanation for the effects of the resource curse suggests that the wealth from resource abundance causes countries to be riskier with their money. Instead of investing in multiple sectors and foreign bonds, African countries tend to indulge in the wealth and focus solely upon it with no consideration of sustainability or possible busts. Since policymakers become shortsighted, they do not realize that that their economy is falling apart until it is too late.

The more powerful someone is, the more convincing they become to this large group of men (and women) in black. They can brush simple things under the rugs, leaking formation and still get away with it. Social classes become divided because of things like this, they think that if they can drop this charge, and you cannot because they have the power of influence by money that they are better. There are several social class whereas a few are always living comfortably and the others are struggling to stay in a home whilst the people of the bottom don’t have a home. The humbleness of these groups are very different in many ways than one.

Moreover, I feel that Didion is attempting to get the reader to internalize that we as the audience should not ignore, as Didion put it the slums, and should instead try to help out, because if no help is given to the areas that aren’t very well off, than the issues that exist will never change, this statement is backed up when Didion wrote, “I stuffed Kleenex in wet shoes and stopped expecting them to dry.” Which symbolically describes what is done to blighted areas such as Overtown, which many people typically look over because they don’t expect it to change. This use of symbolism is only one of the many rhetorical devices that Didion uses in her story that allow her idea of social fragmentation and the unjust difference that exist between the poor and the rich to be reached across all platforms.

Richard Connell, the author of “The Most Dangerous Game,” used the setting in different functions through perseverance in his short story.

Nearly every American knows the popular song, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” It has commemorated the national sport baseball for many years, drawing fans from coast to coast creating a unique community that is truly American. However this song fails to portray the true nature of the sport. If we don 't win, yes it is a shame, but it 's not just about one, two, three strikes and you 're out, it 's about learning to play the game; and not just the game of baseball but the game of life.

Further develops this understanding of the time when he says "discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them". The quote can be related to Crooks and the discrimination he went through. The discrimination turns into exclusion which is a part of marginalisation. Marginalisation also affects characters, they're excluded for their differences and their sense belonging to a family or social group is taken away. Tariq Ramadan gives a further explanation of discrimination, "The rich stick together; the poor and the marginalised are thrown together". The quote also explains the less fortunate being pushed and forced around by high authority. The poor seem to have no say or opinion in their

The story by Richard Connell “The most Dangerous Game” is a very thrilling, eventful story. Its full of many plot twists and turns. It focuses on one man 's struggle for safety and another man 's idea of what’s socially acceptable. He claims that there are two types of people. The hunters and the huntees. Zaroff believes that the weak people were only placed onto the earth to serve and please the stronger kind. Meaning he was a stronger person, and anyone he believes he is better than is worthless. Richard Connell 's story, “The most Dangerous Game” Rainsford, a very skill and acquired big game hunter falls overboard a ship and swims to what he believes is safety. Boy was he wrong! He is walking and stumbles across a huge mansion. Thinking its vacant he enters, big mistake. In the mansion he meets the hunters.

In the book ”Amusing ourselves to death” Neil Postman is making an argument about the fact that humans could amuse themselves to death in their lives.Even if when we think of death we think at something terrible,in his book this particular term is asociated with ”amusament” which is a quite unusual asociation of terms.At the beggining of the book the author is making a paralel between Orwell and Huxley.What is quite known about these two is the fact that their ideas were different and the book ”Amusing ourselves to death” states this ideas.What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book,for there whould be no one who would want to read one.Orwell feared those who would deprive
