Sniper Literary Analysis

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

There happen to be different settings in both of the short stories but both of the settings adapt well with their plots.

Amongst the sailors, they have a mysteriously threatening reputation, which typically scares others.

"Street from Kane's point of view. It is completely deserted" (Forman 326). In the middle of the desert is complete isolation. The place where the story takes place is nothing like where we live. There is one, maybe two roads in High Noon and they are strictly for either coming to or leaving the town which is in the middle of nowhere. The only thing different about the two setting are what is around them. Both settings in both stories are trying to put out the same concept which is there is no where to go but stay where you
