There is a plethora of shooting games out in the world today. They come on virtually every platform from cell phones to Computers and Xbox’s. Many good games are overlooked for the more mainstream ones such as “Call of Duty” whose games are extremely popular but at best subpar. One of the best new shooters on the market today is “Rainbow six Siege”. One of many games in the Rainbow six saga, Siege is the newest addition to Tom Clancy’s brainchild tactical shooter series. The game features realistic five on five tactical combat between two teams. One of the teams attacks, while the other defends. Rainbow six’s graphics are amazing for a console game and really has the power to immerse a casual gamer. Rainbow also has a perfect formula for mixing in futuristic gadgets with real counter terrorism style combat in small environments such as residential houses and large yachts. Every operator has there own special gadget to gain the edge in combat and trying to guess which operators the enemy team will use is crucial to survival. That being said, you do not make it very far in Rainbow six without some sort of team work and collaboration as opposed to shooters such as Call of Duty that have more of a “one vs. all” run and gun mentality. As the game is rated M for mature by the ESRB, You will need to be over eighteen to purchase it. The strong rating is due to blood, drug references, strong language and violence, which some parents may find okay for their children but some may

One method Richard Connell uses to create suspense in “The Most Dangerous Game” is slowing down the exposition with the purpose of dragging it out and creating a pace that keeps the reader waiting in a prolonged state of suspense. For example, on page 9, Rainsford stumbles upon the chateau after washing up on Ship-Trap island where he is greeted by its owner, saying “‘It is a very great pleasure to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home...I am General Zaroff.’” Connell is using this part of the story to introduce a primary character, General Zaroff, which is a typical component of the exposition; however, it is unique in that he has taken four pages so far and has barely brought the soon to be antagonist into the

The story begins with Captain Marko Aleksandrovich Ramius setting out to sea in the submarine Red October on a mission for his country, the USSR.

Despite the odd 's stacked against Ramius and even USSR loyalists aboard his sub, he continues on his goal of getting him and his men to the United States to escape what he sees as corrupt rule. Russia however does find out about Ramius ' betrayal and sends their entire fleet after the Red October, as it

In “Questing for Monsters to Destroy,” John Mueller, an American political scientist, says American policymakers put “a truly massive emphasis on exquisite theorizing and on defense expenditures,” because these policymakers, “became mesmerized by perceived threats that scarcely warranted the preoccupation and effort,” of actual military action (p 117). He argues that American decision makers constantly saw Russia’s actions as bigger threats than they really were and acted accordingly, which resulted in the U.S. spending money and troops to fight wars they should have never been involved in.

Black Hawk Down is a movie based on the book written by Mark Bowden, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Ridley Scott. The story took place in the city of Mogadisdhu, South Africa in 1993. The goal of the mission was to secure counselors to Mohamed Farrah Aidid, who controlled Mogadishu, and to restore order to the country so that food could be safely provided to the starving citizens. The US armed forces were not prepared for all the conditions they encountered. A simple mission that should have taken one hour turned into a twenty-two –hour disastrous rescue undertaking. The intent of the movie Black Hawk Down was to depict the superiority of the American soldiers even while fighting in the time of total confusion.

Sleek and modern are just two of the words that the Soviet leadership would use to describe Red October, the submarine that the Soviet Navy has been looking forward to owning for years. Furthermore, it is something that Soviet Navy Captain, First Rank Marko Ramius has been looking forward to commanding for years, albeit for a different reason: he intends to use it as the vehicle of his defection. Therefore, I predict that the Russians will go to any extreme necessary: deploying their entire navy, even conducting special black operations against the U.S., to get or destroy Red October. With the Soviet government and military now aware of Marko’s intent, the largest search in modern naval history commences. Thus it goes without saying: the Soviets

When choosing a book to read, one might pick a certain work of fiction over the other for different reasons. Depending on whether a reader would want to read a book in order to escape from the harsh realities of life or have a clearer mindset about the world around them, they would choose a piece of work that is either commercial fiction or literary fiction. The reader might choose a story that fits into the commercial fiction category such as “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell if they would want to relax and enjoy a novel for their own amusement. However if the reader would like to grasp a better understanding of the world, then they might choose something more involved in the literary fiction category, like “Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff. Literary works are not necessarily only one type of fiction but instead are viewed as part of a spectrum. On one side there would be those stories who are strictly commercial fiction, while those on the other side are literary fiction. There are at least three different ways readers can tell if a piece is literary fiction, and that is if the story takes place in a realistic place with more relatable characters, if the story shows more human characteristics than the action of the plot, and if the story has an ending such that is not completely resolved.
