Most Dangerous Game

One of the darker actions examined in this unit takes place in "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. In this short story, General Zaroff begins hunting a man lost on his island named Rainsford. Bored of the usual game, General Zaroff decides he wants something more exciting and chooses to prey on humans. This ill-judged decision has a domino effect on the plot, ultimately ending in the demise of Zaroff. Nonetheless, an alternate ending besides death could have very well been a possibility. Perhaps, instead of hunting humans, Zaroff decides to open a hunting camp to share his passion for the sport with others. Obviously, his boredom is caused by the island's isolation from society. So, Zaroff could have built homes and started a community or decide to leave the island altogether. Then, the course of this story would have taken a completely different path. Maybe, Zaroff finds a wife, they have children and live happily ever after. If only he was able to overcome his dark side instead of letting it consume him.

All Summer In Day by Ray Bradbury shows the reader that jealousy can lead a person to do cruel and mean things to classmates and peers. Kids didn’t believe and criticized her and judged her. No one believed she wrote a poem and when she described the sun no one believed her. One arguments someone could make is that desire could be a larger theme than jealousy. This isn't true because the kids got jealous of Margot and then desired, they can’t desire because they have never seen the sun. Margot was also mistreated by classmates. She was shoved and locked away in a closet. Jealousy can make people do man and cruel things to classmates and peers.

When you watch the movie High Noon, and read the story "The Most Dangerous Game" you may not see many similarities or differences when you first read, or watch. But you might start to put the puzzle pieces together when you watch a second time or begin to think about what's the same or different about them. One of the main similarities in both stories is that the main characters are outnumbered by their enemies. This is a reoccurring theme in both. In High Noon, there are four bad guys coming to town to take their revenge on Will Kane. In "The Most Dangerous Game" Rainsford is hunted by Ivan, general Zaroff, and his pack of dogs. Another similarity I spotted was when both characters needed help the most there was no one who was brave enough to help them. One of the major differences between them was they both had different settings, and move at a different pace. However this helps build the stories. Both stories have their own way of building suspense. Each of these stories take showing the theme and differences to a whole new level

An exciting thriller has always been a popular category of literary works, whether it be in the form of a film or novel.

The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell is a short story that involves homicide which raises conflicting questions about life. Roland Barthes says that, “Literature is the question minus the answer.” This somewhat pertains to this story as Connell proposes if humanity is relevant to life and only partially answers it as well as leaving the rest to the mind. This question creates wonder as to what is humanly right or wrong throughout the fiction.

They surged about hr, caught her up and bore her, protesting , and then pleading, and then crying back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door. They stood looking at the door and saw it tremble from her beating and throwing herself against it.” Looking at this short passage from the story, the reader can visualize, from Ray Bradbury use of imagery, the whole scene. Margot has been waiting to finally see the sun for 5 years but, because all the other kids hate her, when the sun can be finally seen from Venus, her classmates violently throw her into a closet of the School, where she remains the whole time that the Sun is showing. Another example of jealousy from “All Summer in a Day” can be taken from earlier in the story. In the first page, Bradbury writes “And they had written small stories or essays or poems about it: I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour. That was Margot’s poem, read in a quiet voice in the still classroom while the rain was falling outside. ‘Aw, you didn’t write that!’ protested one of the boys. ‘I did,’ said Margot ‘I did.’” This short excerpt from the story shows that Margot is being

Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" is a very exciting story of a manhunt. This story made me think about the morality of hunting: Humans are the cleverest creatures on earth, but does it give them a license to kill the other animals and even human beings weaker than themselves? I give below a short summary of the story to set the scene and then I will explore the ethics involved in hunting as a sport.

The kids are only nine years old so they haven’t seen the sun since they were two years old, but Margot moved there from Earth when she was four and she remembers the sun and that makes the other kids envious. In the beginning of the story it is the day that the sun is supposed to come out for the first time in seven years! The kids were skeptical except for Margot because she wanted to see it so bad. The kids were starting to prepare for the sun to come out but they were sitting inside waiting. While they were waiting the kids decided to lock Margot in a closet and not let her out. When the sun came out all the kids ran outside to play in the sun that felt so warm and nice on their skin, except for Margot, who was sitting inside in the dark closet.

When others have different experiences, it can make someone jealous and want what they have. The ways jealousy is dealt with can make all the difference: people can either express how they feel calmly, or they could end up losing control and hurt someone.
