Most Dangerous Game, Liberty, Harrison Bergeron

Whenever a movie based on a book is produced, similarities must exist. It is crucial that there is correlation throughout the plot of both works in order for the story to be told. One example of a similarity between the plot of both versions of The Most Dangerous Game is that Rainsford and Zaroff were both experienced hunters. Zaroff had hunted all kinds of prey all over the world, and Rainsford was famous for his books on hunting. This made Zaroff’s hunt more enjoyable and Rainsford’s fight for his life more terrifying. Also, in both the movie and short story, Zaroff used dogs to hunt Rainsford. This illustrates that Zaroff did not exactly play fair in the story or the movie. Likewise, there are also major comparisons between the resolution of the literary work and the resolution of the motion picture. For example, in both endings, Rainsford was victorious. He was the first person to

The Most Dangerous Game is about its theme of corruption and its plot events, something that differs from the story and movie. The main difference is the ending and theme of the original versus the adaptation. In the short story, it is unknown whether Rainsford takes on the role of the general after killing him out of spite and lust for revenge or gets off the island. This enforces the theme of the fact that man is corrupted when they are given great power or an enticing offer for said power. The movie, however, changes this and has Rainsford escape the island with Eve, a girl who was in Zaroff’s captivity. This changes the ending to where Rainsford kills Zaroff out of defense and to save another survivor, thus making him be a moral person. These endings change Rainsford as a character from a hunter corrupted by the savagery of Zaroff to a bold defender of

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 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.

The Most Dangerous Game was produced as a movie in 1932 and is very similar to the book published in 1924. Although the book and movie are very similar there are quite a few differences. I mean there was a shark attack and a big introduction scene on the boat but that wasn't in the book, but apart from that minor stuff there was one major difference between the book and movie. In the movie there is a woman named Eve with her brother on the island, this wasn't in the book. And it's not just the beginning of the movie the woman is in the plot almost for the whole movie! So this change kind of puts a twist on the story and makes the book and movie very different, mainly because the focus isn't just on Rainsford and General Zaroff, it's on Eve as well!

There are a lot of things similar about the story “Liberty” and “Most Dangerous Games” and Harrison Bergerson” and there are a lot of differences. In the story “Liberty” the main character was the little girl/narrator. The setting was the Dominican Republic. The conflict of the story was that narrator wants to go to the United States of America for freedom. This story can compare to all the of the other story’s.

In the “Harrison Bergeson.” The main characters were Harrison and the society. The setting of the story was u.s.a , 2081, a place where everybody

The characters in the stories all forced problems. The characters were fearless, they forced being hunted, leaving their home. They were forced to do thing they didn’t want to. The characters in Harrison Bergeron was Harrison, in The most dangerous game Is Rainsford and Zarff, and in The Sniper the character was the sniper.

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.

In two of the most well-known short stories, “The Most Dangerous Game” and “Young Goodman Brown”, there are ironic similarities portraying evil between their settings, characterization, and plot.

A theme is the meaning behind a story, occasionally defined as the moral of the story. Themes can differ from one end of the world to the other, as it does in many books. The Droughtlanders by Carrie Mac is a futuristic version of the world which has been divided into two parts. The rich and the poor, the healthy and the sick, otherwise known as Keyland and Droughtland. Keyland is where all the rich people with extravagant lands and lives live. Droughtland is a disease-ridden land where all poor people are being forced to live. Society treats Droughtland poorly and they decide to take action. Thus starting the revolution. Carrie Mac portrays many themes in different ways throughout the book. However the major theme the book revolves around is that; No matter how rich or poor a person is, or what gender, race, or sexuality they are, in the end, they are all the same and deserve to be treated equally. In addition, the book shows that when everyone is treated equally there is so much more that everyone can accomplish. The theme is being portrayed through the narrative point of view, setting and atmosphere, and character development.

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

For example, they both show fear. In The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford was on an island with General Zaroff where he was going to be hunted for his life. "Even so, I rather think they understand one thing—fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death". This quote from the book is important because Rainsford was afraid of dying in the game. In High Noon, Will Kane was a character who did what he believed him but was also scared at the same time. Before he was going to battle Frank Mitchell, he started to write up his will. '"Kane's hand—as it writes: "Last Will and Testament" As he crosses his last "T" he pauses. In the silence, the loud ticking of the clock can be heard". The last part of the quote was important, this symbolizes that time is running out before he meets his death. Another way they are both similar is that they are both being hunted down. Frank Mitchell, the bad guy, promised that he will find and kill Kane when he gets out of prison. When he eventually does get out of prison, he comes back to town to kill him. The problem that Kane faces is that the only way to get away from Frank is the noon train, but Frank is riding that train to come get him so technically Kane is trapped. In The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford plays a game with the general where he is being hunted down and eventually killed. In the game there is a limit to where you can go and if you pass that limit, you die. So again, Rainsford is trapped and doesn't have anywhere to go. They are both alone in each book. Kane goes around town to ask people to join his group and help him fight Frank Mitchell and his gang. No one wants to help him and everyone closes their windows and doors. At the end, Kane is utterly alone. Rainsford is all alone in the jungle by himself as has no one to help him. The last reason they are both similar is that they fight for what's right. Kane could have easily backed out and just died

The story about The Most Dangerous Game written by Richard Connell, is a story about a man named Sanger Rainsford. Whom falls off a boat and has to swim to a nearby island from which he heard 3 gunshots from. He then is rescued by man who does not hear nor speaks. The man takes Rainsford to his leader who is named General Zaroff. The General is a hunter as so is Rainsford.

High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game are both stories involving a main character who is being hunted. The main characters, Will Kane and Sanger Rainsford, both face similar challenges within the stories. Both intense stories take place around the time of World War II. High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game share similar characters, but they include different themes and take place in a different setting.

E. Thesis statement- “The Lottery” and “The Most Dangerous Game” are both stories that are uniquely different by the tone and format; however, they both have conflicts that the ending results lead to death.
