The seniors’ looming bodies go shoulder to shoulder against mine as our feet battle for control. While the exhaustion encouraged my game, the sprints, planks, and runs made me dread going to that grassy field every week. The humidity produced useless pants from my lungs, and my throat felt like it was closing in from a claustrophobic nightmare.

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.
