Touching, smelling, hearing, tasting, and seeing are used in The Most Dangerous Game to create imagery.

The author’s amused tone shines through especially with Jason’s sarcastic comment on page 241, “The only thing I couldn’t understand was why it was just poison oak and not a snake or something.” The author and the reader share a similar feeling during this passage due to the author’s efforts to make Jason an antagonist throughout the story.

    When kids don’t get up it’s for a reason not because they're lazy it because they're tired of getting up at like 3:00 in the morning. In the article “The teen who woke up her school” by Jane Bianchi, it says “Missouri high schools start time 7:50 to 7:20 am” that's way too early. In “Should schools start later” by Lisa .M. Herrington, it says “40% of american schools start classes before 8 am” again way too early. In the video “Abc news report” it stated “next fall or so the school board of edu might move school back a half an hour”. I am in agreement with school starting later.…

    Back in 2012 I was accepted into Early college academy at south-ridge (ECAS). This school is particularly special because it allows high school students to take dual credit courses in a community college. Obtaining high grades in my classes while also being required to do my best was something I always had trouble with. I was the the type of person who didn't mind a 70 when it came to report cards, until I found out colleges didn't like students with low grades or at least with low performance like me. My freshman year I made the decision to improve my grades and become a better student.…

    It all started on the first day of Night School. I was the first student to walk into the classroom, excited for a fun and interesting semester I was eager to meet my new classmates as well as to make new friends in night school. All was going well that night until Ms. Easton my night school English teacher began to speak to us about the ISU. She began by telling the class to forget about what we previously thought an ISU s for English class was. That was not what I was expecting. Earlier, that week in day school where I was already enrolled in the Grade twelve University English course, I was told by my English teacher that we had to read two novels and write two essays which compared the two novels and their various themes for our ISU. As she continued to speak my heart began pounding "an ISU where we don't have to read two novels and write essays about them? That doesn't sound right…" I thought to myself. I could feel myself getting more and more anxious until Ms. Easton finally explained that the ISU was going to be an Abstract noun of our choice. "An abstract noun? I quietly whispered to…

    College is a big transition from High School. College is there to teach students knowledge, and to prepare every college student for the next chapter of their lives. Most freshman that go to Western Michigan University (WMU), decide to live in the valleys. “Valley residence halls feature suites where two student rooms share a connecting bathroom. These large, coed halls have a picturesque peaceful setting and are close to the Haworth College of Business, Intramural Fields and Goldsworth Valley pond” (“Residence Halls”). There are a total of three valleys that are about a twenty minute walk from main campus. There have been many problems with the dorms such as the noise, the size of the rooms, hygiene, the water, and the resident assistants.…

    Sleeping During a Class

    Sleeping during LTC Kan’s class, the mistake I made. Not only was I told by Mr. Macaulay, Staff Sergeant Avalos, Master Sergeant and SSG Campbell to wake up and take pictures but I failed to help Koo & Park stay awake. It is important to stay awake for many reasons. One being the fact that the person giving the class deserves your undivided attention. Despite the fact that it was LTC; regardless of rank they should be given the proper respect and courtesies as an instructor that’s giving a class. That is trying to help me professionally to do my job as a paralegal for an attorney in the future. It boils down to doing the right thing and treat others how you would like to be treated. If I was to be giving a class I wouldn’t feel too good about people nodding off in the middle of my lecture. I should know better since in Basic Training at Ft. Jackson it was strongly enforced to stay awake during briefs, classes, whatever the case may be. We were taught to stand up and go to the back if that was the only means of us staying awake. If not, it resulted in long smoking sessions for the whole group even if it was one person. They made it our job to be responsible for our battle buddies and ensure that we worked as a team to stay awake it was either that or suffer the consequences. I think it was more than fair for SSG Avalos to counsel us together and give us this assignment. So I’ve come up with other methods to stay awake besides standing up. Drinking lots of water, poking myself with a pen, getting a good night sleep the night before. Good nutrition throughout the day, so that my body does not crash. Keeping a 5 hour energy or some type of caffeine nearby to sip on to give me a boost, monster, coffee etc. etc. I think of many other instances were falling asleep is just not an option and you have to fight through it. CQ, guard shifts, being down range and having to go out on constant exhausting missions. Having the will power to…

    High school is a new atmosphere to everyone. There’s more people, new teachers. It doesn’t start to hit you that you’re almost done with high school until the first week of senior year. It feels like just yesterday you were coming to open house freshman year. You defiantly feel a little intimidated when you’re a freshman just because everyone is bigger than you and scary and you have a whole new school to get use to and to get to know the building. Sophomore year you’re still adjusting a little to the new school but you pretty much got it. Junior year you know you fit in and you’re pretty much just ready to get out of school and graduate. And now senior year your saying, “Wow that went way too fast to be over already.”…
