The Most Dangerous Game And The Hunger Games

“Rainsford said,Hunting? Good God, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder.’” (Connell 70). Rainsford’s personality changes throughout this story, but, the trait of bravery stays true throughout the story. Through his personality trait of bravery Rainsford moves the “Most Dangerous Game” plot forward.

Thesis: General Zaroff is the main Antagonist in The Most Dangerous Game. General Zaroff shows an affection for chasing, a frail and unremorseful personality, General Zaroff also shows pride and arrogance. These three character attributes

Rainsford doesn’t just go through external conflicts he also goes through internal conflicts which show some of his character traits. Rainsford is faced with an internal conflict, a decision either participate in Zaroff's devious game or to be handed over to Ivan. “The Choice rest entirely with you. But may I not

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

Zaroff is comparing a game of chess to the killing of another human. He is very excited and enthusiastic about the thoughts of hunting a human being. Throughout the story, Zaroff’s cruel and inhuman characteristics are shown by the way he talked to Rainsford about his hunting of humans.

“To live,” and “to be living,” are two very different ideas. Everyone is living, everyone breathes air, drinks water, and eats food, but “to live,” one has to do something that they feel passionate about, no matter what the cost is, even while facing death. In the book Station Eleven, by Emily St. John Mandel, brings alive a group of people known as the “Traveling Symphony,” in a world destroyed by a pandemic called the Georgian flu. The people in this group live by a quote, “Survival is insufficient.” As the story moves along, readers can see that this phrase becomes relevant to all of the main characters in the book.

Like in any typical hero movie, there is a call that the protagonist has to answer. In The Hunger Games, Katniss hears her calling when her sister, Prim is drawn to participate in the Hunger games. Knowing that Prim is definitely not a violent person, Katniss 's instincts kick in and she volunteers for her sister without

I think that determination is definitely a big part of survival. In the book Hatchet, Brian was determined when he was making the fire. It took him a long time to figure out how to do it and then it took him quite a while to get it started, but all the time, he kept going because he was so determined. He tried many different times in many different ways. Ernest Shackleton was a man who tried to sail to Antarctica in a ship with a crew, but got stuck in an iceberg. Also, in a video about Ernest Shackleton, he was obviously very

Both novels, The Road and The Hunger Games, share a common theme of survival and violence. In the book, The Road the entire setting and plot illustrate the apparent collapse of all on Earth and the violence of this dystopian world adds to the dreadfulness of survival, as many humans have reverted to terrible behaviors of murder and cannibalism. As well, a discussion of violence in The Hunger Games must consider the role violence plays in the narrative, although the film is about children who are forced to kill each other, the book does not glorify or celebrate violence. Both authors, Cormac McCarthy and Suzanne Collins, use a survival theme to present the hardships Kat Everdeen and the Man and Boy must endure to stay alive; thus, the use

Survival is living on the hope that better things are yet to come in your life. Right now in our country people survive because of hope and the belief that people are good and they will help them out. People survive when they are homeless on the streets only because of the people who are good at heart and give them food or money to buy clothing for the winter. Gerta survived because of her family and friends. Anne Frank survived because she believed that “Despite all the evil going on in the world I still believe that all people are good at heart.”

In the story “The Most Dangerous Game” written Richard Connell, the protagonist Sanger Rainsford is in a manhunt against General Zaroff. While in the hunt Rainsford outsmarts Zaroff three times. The first time he sets up a Malay Mancatcher trap and injured Zaroff. The second time he made a Burmese tiger pit and killed Zaroff’s best dog. He then also set up a trap that killed Zaroff’s soldier Ivan.

Hunting people is “The Most Dangerous Game”. The Hunger Games is the most difficult game to win. Rainsford was shown to be a witty, resourceful, and patient person. He even outfoxed General Zaroff in his own crazy game. Katniss was shown to be a quick thinker and had a determination to get back to her family. The creators of these characters developed the protagonists through the use of man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. fate conflict. Katniss is an excellent hunter with a little sister and a mother. Rainsford was an intelligent sailor who fell off his boat accidentally.

Most people have heard of the Hunger Games, but don’t know the true meaning. People say it’s a book (or movie) about innocent people getting slaughtered. It may look like that but there is so much more depth. When authors write books, they add their perspective and beliefs. It could be about government, religion and many more controversial topics. In the Hunger Games, the author Suzanne Collins shows what she thinks about government. She does this by relating the Hunger Games to the gladiators and Ancient Roman times. Even the names of characters relate. Hunger Games may not be a sweet and innocent book, but there is a good lesson behind all the violence.

“Dictionary.com” defines survival as an aspect of “remaining alive, especially under adverse or unusual circumstances” . This quote specifies that when one’s under significant circumstances, survival will become a priority. This is a theme that is very important in both novels studied this year, “Life of Pi” by Yann Martel, and “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding. This means that staying alive will become a task.
