Most Dangerous Game And Eldest Compare And Contrast

The sunburn lines between my shorts and socks reminded me of the restless hours I spent out on the field. Every Tuesday and Thursday, for two and a half hours, the sun scorched my body as my legs scraped into the ground. The seniors’ looming bodies go shoulder to shoulder against mine as our feet battle for control. While the exhaustion encouraged my game, the sprints, planks, and runs made me dread going to that grassy field every week. The humidity produced useless pants from my lungs, and my throat felt like it was closing in from a claustrophobic nightmare. My coaches and teammates likely attributed my strained breathing to either a lack of physical shape, or poor preparedness for the more advanced level of play; however, my muscles were not the issue. It was my chest that continually ached during practice. I pushed through that entire season with the mindset that I could control my body similar to the ball: through enduring determination.

Isolation is very hard to overcome and defeat. "The Most Dangerous Game" starts off with the main character, Rainsford, falling off a boat. He swims to a random island and luckily gets welcomed in by the owner of the house. The owner invites him for dinner and as they eat they talk about hunting animals across the world. The owner of the house, Zaroff, to Rainsford surprise, hunts human instead of animals because he is too good at hunting animals. He asked Rainsford to hunt humans with him but Rainsford says no. Now Zaroff wants to hunt Rainsford so he does. Will Kane is the main character in High Noon. He is the marshal of the town and he carries the lode of responsibility on his back. He sentenced an enemy to jail, but now that enemy has come back will his crew to kill Will Kane. In both High Noon and "The Most Dangerous Game" there are similarities and differences in the theme, main characters, and setting.

Two of the most unlikely stories can still have the same idea. High Noon is a movie about a sherif who has to fight off murderers who escaped from jail. He has to fight them off himself without any help since he is abandoned by his friends/ coworkers. The short story, The Most Dangerous Game is a short story about a hunter who gets stuck on Ship-Trap Island and ends up finding himself in a never ending game. Both the movie and the short story show how easy it is to be isolated when you have to fight to survive. High noon and the most Dangerous game are very similar even though there are some differences.

In “The Dangerous Game,” Rainsford is stuck on an island known as “ship-trap island,” after falling off his yacht, and is met by a ruthless, hunter who murders for sport. In High Noon, The newly married Will Kane is scares by the news that Frank Miller is coming back to town. He sent him to jail for murderer, but now, him and his gang are back for revenge. Although the film High Noon and the short story, “The Dangerous Game” have many differences like conflicts, there are a lot of similarities like setting and characters.

Perhaps the fear of imminent death is mankind's greatest fear; the film High Noon, directed by Fred Zinneman, and the short story "The Most Dangerous Game," written by Richard Connell, both present this great fear as the stories' central conflict. High Noon, an old western, shows a marshal named Will Kane who is trying to face a criminal by the name of Frank and his gang by himself as no one in his town offers to help him. The short story "The Most Dangerous Game" tells of a renowned hunter named Sanger Rainsford stranded on desolate island named "Ship-Trap"; on this island he meets General Zaroff who later hunts Rainsford as part of his "most dangerous game.

Zaroff was fascinated by Rainsford and his work. Both were awestruck by big game hunting. Rainsford was beginning to find Zaroff as a true cosmopolite, but there was something that still bothered Rainsford. The two men commuted for a while and Rainsford was amused when Zaroff said that he was hunting more dangerous game than what Rainsford thought to be the most dangerous big game of all. Zaroff tells Rainsford that, although he hunted the big game, he had to stock the island himself. A little while later Rainsford was told by Zaroff that he hunted humans. He asked Rainsford to join, and Rainsford, scared, agreed. The next night Rainsford refused to hunt. Zaroff tells Rainsford if he didn't hunt he would become the

A large island where the most dangerous things happened and a small town located in the Western Territory where there was war between two men both are similar and different in many ways. In the story, The Most Dangerous Game, written by Richard Connell, the main character, Rainsford, faced a situation where he had to be killed or play the game with the antagonist General Zaroff. In the film High Noon, written by Carl Foreman, the main character, Will Kane, faced a problem with the prisoner Frank Miller who soon comes back for sweet revenge. In both the film and the story, the setting and conflict are different; however, the characters are similar, which affects the plot of both stories.

High Noon and “The Most Dangerous Game” both demonstrate the fear of death. From an isolated island to an old western town, there are differences between the two. High Noon is a film about a gang coming back to town on a mission to get revenge on Will Kane by attempting to kill him. On the other hand, “The Most Dangerous Game” is a story about travelers who are tricked and trapped in an island and forced to play deathly hunting games in order to survive. Although these stories have a lot in common, there differences set these two appart.

Marie Curie once stated, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” Fear, to be afraid of something or someone. Some approach fear differently than others; some fight fear and some run from it. In Roald Dahl’s “Lamb to the Slaughter,” and Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game,” both authors create a mood to resemble how the characters are afraid to face the fear--further demonstrating the danger fear plays in the lives of the innocent.

So Rainsford continued on his path back to where he came upon the island. Rainsford walks on and as he continues on he comes across the General. Noticing that he is injured with a gunshot wound on his side bleeding really badly. So he offers the General if he needs help and of course he says yes, so Rainsford picks General Zaroff up and starts dragging him along. But before he could make it far enough from that very spot he found the hounds dead from being shot to death just floating in the water. Startled and scared, Rainsford was thinking will he ever make it off the island, dropping Zaroff’s body Rainsford begins to become tired. Rainsford is near the water hearing birds and the growl of jaguars, half way there Rainsford hears the whispers of other men. Although Rainsfords’ first thought was to drop General Zaroff and start running for his life. He figured he’d hide Zaroff and himself until it was completely quite but it never did so Rainsford got tired of hiding and decided to find out what or who that was making that noise. He instantly pulled Zaroffs body out still trying to understand why somebody would shoot Zaroff besides the fact that he’s a

Although they are both big game hunters, their reactions to the life or death situations that they are put in could make a world of difference for themselves. When considering their actions, Rainsford would stop and think, whereas Eckels would panic and run, and not worry about the consequences that may take place. Rainsford from “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell is a very smart man. He is very good at thinking on his feet and getting himself out of tricky situations. Eckels from “The Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury is a good hunter. He has killed many big game animals, but there is a limit on how big of an animal he can kill, some are just too much. Eckels and Rainsford are a lot alike, but yet extremely different, you are about to find out why.

They had a lot in common, she loved to hunt, and swim. Rainsford and Kristen were meant for eachother. They got happily

I would describe this story as both commercial and literary fiction. It is a literary fiction story because it is unpredictable and has unexpected ending. In the story when Rainsford approaches the house General Zaroff, accepts him with admiration. He seems to be showing him a new way of life and thinking but the unexpected happens. When he refuses to indulge in the general’s way of hunting, the general decides to make him the new hunt. You don’t expect general Zaroff to make Rainsford the hunt. Another way that, “the most dangerous game” is a literary fiction is in the end. We as the reader expect that when he jumps into the river, he will swim off to safety but instead he swim back to the house and waits for the general. Adding to the unexpected
