It is America’s game. Tough, rough, explosive, exciting, and captivating. One can’t deny that this sport can truly be a thrill to watch. Big plays accompanied by big hits. Touchdowns paired with broken bones and concussions. Kids start when they are young aiming for the stars to be the next great NFL player. It is instilled in the culture from young age that football players are the biggest, baddest, and toughest athletes on the planet. They are the modern day warriors out to entertain the masses. Football players don’t get hurt, they play through the pain, at whatever cost and taking whatever medication they can to numb the pain.

The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell has been a classic among bookworms looking for a short fix since the 1920s. The story is centered around two main characters, Rainsford and General Zaroff who are both worthy hunters. When Rainsford stumbles upon Zaroff, he finds himself participating in a new game, the hunt for his life. With eyes glued to the writing, someone may not even notice the discretely placed allusions. The allusions in this story are used to make connections between the text and the reader.

Richard Connell’s The Most Dangerous explains multiple theories, such as nature versus nurture, and survival of the fittest. This short story also seems to have an underlying theme of Social Darwinism (Of Two Classes). Throughout the entirety of the short story, Connell shows a character change of a main character, Rainsford, who is at a constant battle with General Zaroff, the antagonist. This character change shows the importance of the mindset of characters, and how it can be applied to everyday life.

In the story The Most Dangerous Game one conflict is man vs nature. Rainsford is fighting nature because he is on a ship and he came across an island. Rainsford falls overboard and has to swim for safety. “All he knew was that he was safe from his enemy, the sea and the other was weariness on him”. In order to survive rainsford hast to swim to the island and find shelter. In the conflict man vs nature this shows Rainsford bravery.

How would it feel to suddenly go from being the hunter to becoming the prey? That is exactly what happened to Rainsford, one of the main characters in The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell. Rainsford was a big game hunter who accidentally fell of of his yacht. He swam to a nearby island, and there he met General Zaroff, a cruel man who hunts humans for sport. In exchange for release from the island, Rainsford agrees to be hunted by Zaroff. Consequently, Rainsford is a survivor because he kills Zaroff and wins the game. Rainsford is also a survivor because he demonstrates the qualities that a person must have to be considered a survivor. Although Rainsford is a survivor, Zaroff is not. To be considered a survivor, a person must go through a traumatic or life-threatening experience but still demonstrate resilience and determination.

One theme embedded in “The Most Dangerous Game” is that all living things have feelings to survive. I know that this is an actual thing that is true with everyone, you see people survive from the things that you think are impossible there are people that get shot and drive themselves to hospitals. Animals that run when they are in danger, animals that fight for their lives either when forced to for crude human entertainment that is sicking, or when fighting or when fighting to protect their family. For example bears fight when they feel in danger they stand tall to make themselves seem bigger than who they are facing rather it be a human or another bear, they fight to protect their families the people that they love. You hear these amazing stories about dogs running into burning homes and save their owners, but yet people still think that animals have no ability to feel human feelings or the ability to survive. Another example for a dog is keeping the owners safe. When dogs bark at the ring of a doorbell or a knock at the door people usually just tell them to stop and be quiet, People don’t realize what they are actually doing from the dog barking he/she is letting you know that someone is at the door so that way you

It’s the last game of the regular season and Cody and Jake are dressed on the sideline waiting for their shot. The Packers are playing Fargo Davies and are in the playoffs no matter what. Davies starts out the game with the ball and on their first drive; the defensive end who was playing for Cooper gets hit in the head and has to come out for the game. Cody gets his chance and is put in on defense. He plays a great first half by recording two tackles and a sack. The second half goes by fast and with one minute left in the game, the Packers and Eagles are tied, 14-14. It’s third and six on the Packers forty yard line and as soon as the ball is snapped, Cody was a shell that just got shot out of a cannon

James Anderson’s short essay “Just One More Game…: Angry Birds, Farmville, and Other Hyperaddictive Stupid Games” claims that society is addicted to digital games and since the technological advancement in the last decade or so, games are so much easier to distribute to every individual who owns a smartphone. He also stated the iPhone has filled our free time with mindless games as well as a way of gamification. Before reading this essay, I would have never considered the overall view of the gaming industries and the effect on society. James Anderson captures the reader’s attention by examining many of the unfortunate side of games from Tetris to Angry Birds, only to contradict his own thesis. Anderson also uses history, facts, statistics,
