If you had to disappear, could you? This is the catch phrase of CBS’s latest reality TV show Hunted. I was instantly captured by the first episode of heart-pounding excitement, as eighteen ordinary U.S. citizens known as the ‘hunted’ portray fugitives. They have to remain hidden and try to outwit thirty-two of the top investigators in the world known as the ‘hunters’. Nonetheless, I have never been a huge fan of the reality show genre, this show puts the ‘real’ back in reality TV, immediately mesmerizing my curiosity. The surreal reactions of non-actors kept my attention plastered to my TV as I felt like I was right there with them saying “No!” “Don’t do that!” or “Yes, do that, hurry up before you get caught!” I thoroughly enjoyed …show more content…
Diversity amongst the hunted spans from all walks of life ranging from the stay-at-home father to a criminal lawyer. While the hunters have over 100 years collectively in local, federal, and government law enforcement experience in tracking down fugitives, and take great pride in doing so. I’ve always liked rooting for the underdog, and cheered the hunted teams to win. The one in particular is a former gang member turned criminal lawyer and his fiancé. His history of getting in trouble with the law at a young age is what I think brings his experience of street smarts and his ability to make quick decisions under duress. While his religionists fiancé brings her large circle of trusted close family and friends to utilize as resources while they are on the run. On the flip side of the coin, I feel that the hunters are over confident, cocky and their main advantage is technology. For instance, the hunter will say things like “We’re all around you, give up it’s over.” Or “It’s just a matter of time, they will make a mistake.” This adds fuels my desire for the hunted to beat them at their own game. Consequently, both sides are always brewing ideas to manipulate human behavior to get the information they need. Not to forget they have a multitude of environmental landscapes bringing a culmination of complexity for each team’s situation. Even centuries of human evolution can only
In paragraph 10, the hunter claims “It’s a battle of wits, I tell you,” but immediately following that statement he admits that his camouflage coat and hood makes him resemble “Cousin Itt from The Addams Family,” who is a short character entirely covered in long hair. In paragraph 13, the hunter says “Hunting is not about ease, comfort, or tilting the scales to satisfy a hunter’s thirst for a trophy.” He then goes on a short tirade against the “awful” 100 acre fenced-in hunting grounds that some hunters go on guided tours in. However, he more or less contradicts this anger in the very next paragraph when he says he prefers to hunt on 500 fenced-in acres. To top it off, he adds that he “could be out there for more than an hour before I bag my kill,” as if that’s a major accomplishment.
Between the movie and story in “The Most Danger Game” there several things that are taken and some added. When they added the Lady in it made the story more interesting. It was more suspenseful because it felt she was slowing Rainsford down and you weren’t sure if they would get killed. An omission that took away from the story was that Ivan did not hold the gun to Rainsford’s heart in the beginning. So Rainsford did not know what was coming until later and it was not as suspenseful during the beginning of the story. These additions did effect the theme it made it even more known that animals feel pain and fear when hunted.
In the movie "The Most Dangerous Game" there were some distinct differences from the original story. Some of the main differences were found in the characters and the exposition. For example, in the movie, characters are added and some of the names or titles of people were changed.
“The world is split up in two worlds the hunters and the hunted” I Agree and disagree There's movies and video games and even extraterrestrials. There's always hunters and hunted in wars. Cause if there's a bad guy or even like Osama Bin Laden the Navy Seals and the Government have been hunting him. Even in life all the animals hunt even we hunt we even be the hunted by either our own kind or even a big animals. In games and movies if the main character was missed lead by someone in the game and either so many games will lead to them killing the person that betrayed them Like in the game Red Dead Redemtion. Even in some books that turn into a movie like The Hunger Games, and
The theme of the hunters and the hunted is conveyed throughout this short story. At the beginning of this story, Rainsford says to his friend Whitney, “The world is made up of two classes-the hunters and the hunted” (Connell 40). This quotation sets a path for the rest of the story, as almost everything from the short story reflects upon this idea. From Rainsford’s point of view, his life only revolves around hunting. He
Hunting is something we've done since we've been on this planet. We used to do it out of necessity, but in the modern world we do it for many other reasons. As technology has increased, we have developed different methods of hunting. These methods have carried over to today, but two have prevailed: bowhunting and rifle hunting. These methods are both hunting--obviously--but they're different in almost every other sense. Bowhunting and rifle hunting are different based on the weapon used, the way you hunt, and your connection with the animal and the land around it; however, the same in the way the respective methods bring people together.
Rainsford woke up to the booming sinfony of dozens of hungry hunting hounds and a satisfied look soon materialized on his face. With a prolonged yawn, he rose sleepily from the luxurious bed to find the body of General Zaroff staring blankly at the ceiling. He was the hunter, his hunter, that he had just murdered. Rainsford realised he had finally and truly won the most dangerous game. He remembered what the Cossack had said before their fight, “One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed.” Rainsford silently walked over to the window and gazed down towards the dogs below. As if know what Rainsford was thinking, the hounds barked viciously at him, salivating at their mouths. He ceremoniously picked up the still body of General Zaroff and threw him out the window with a crash! He put a fresh pair of clothes on while listening to the now satisfied canines eat their meal. determined he needed to get
After that traumatic finale, Hawaii Five-0 season 7 comes back with the biggest revelation ever to hit the series. Will the Chess-Piece serial killer show himself in the episode premiere? The last time viewers saw McGarrett, he is near death. But is he closer to the answer or the end of his life again in episode 1?
After the first World War I many people wanted to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, they felt as though if they didn't get involved with foreign affairs they wouldn't have to deal with potential wars. Although, there was a group of people that felt the USA should get more involved with foreign affairs in orders to try and prevent another war from happening. Prior to World War II the US foreign policy towards Europe heavily taxed foreign goods in order to get the people to buy American made goods. The different views of the isolationist group and those opposed to isolation ultimately made the decisions to join the war more difficult.
Where do you draw the line in hunting? Is it at the point where you feel pity for your prey? Is it the fact your prey feels pain? Or is it just that you’re stronger and they’re weaker so it doesn’t matter. The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell is a story about learning and experience, how the hunter becomes the hunted and moralities tested and learning the hard way. The main protagonist Rainsford is a well established hunter who has slaughtered many animals with great joy. He views his prey as aggressive creatures that are lower that lack any reason to live other than hunting.

Barry Goldwater, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama these four renowned presidents demonstrated their different views on establishing government with four speeches in 1964, 1965, 1981 and
Many people have misconceptions about hunting. One such misconception is that hunting is easy and any person can go sit in the woods and wait for an animal to cross the hunter’s path. However, people who believe this are sorely mistaken. Hunting is not just sitting in the woods with a rifle; there are many other aspects that must be considered. An individual must have all preparations complete, purchase or gather the equipment needed, and know what to listen for while in the woods.
For an abundance of stories the conflicts do not include man vs. man, man vs. nature, or man vs. himself. In the story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell this is not the case. The main character Rainsford is frequently facing multiple struggles. The story would not keep you on the edge of your seats the same way unless he is constantly fighting through something no matter how big or small the problem is. For example Rainsford the sailor fights nature in this story. In addition to this, he struggles through the toughness and wits of other men. Furthermore, in this story Rainsford puts up with himself as he fights his mind running through the jungle constantly making last minute, and risky decisions. This story shows countless examples of man vs. man, man vs. nature, and even man vs. himself.

The audience today can relate so well to this because we all are like the audience in this show. We are because when we turn on our TV and tune in to see what our favorite movie star, singer, sports player is up on TMZ. When paparazzi is hiding behind a tree taking pictures or videos, taping their every move. Sometimes without them knowing they’re getting hunted. Even tailing
