Conflicts really get you hooked into the book but, not understanding or figuring out the resolution to the conflicts makes the story not as interesting.Three of the conflicts really stood out while reading The Most Dangerous Game.

    They both have the feeling of darkness, being alone, and being in survival mode. In High Noon, Kane must risk his life to take down Frank Miller, while having no other companions to help him. In The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford is forced to fight to survive General Zaroff from hunting him down, while being abandoned on an island. "Will, I think you ought to go while there's still time. It's better for you-and better for us" (Foreman 315). Kane is all alone, with no one to help him. "Rainsford held his breath. The general's eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring" (Connell 12). Rainsford must stay calm and not make any movement so he is not noticeable. These stories both show being alone, darkness, and fighting to…

    One thing they have in common is the setting. For example, they are both isolated. "Countryside-on the moving train"(Foreman 326). The only way out of Hadleyville is the train. "Mirage" thought Rainsford but it was no mirage, he found when he opened the tall spiked iron gate. The stone steps were real enough; the stone steps were real enough; the massive door with a leering gargoyle for a knocker was real enough; yet it hung in all unreality" (Connell ). This quote shows how surprised he is when he finds a mansion in the middle of the island not just any island though its ship-trap island in the middle of the ocean. The only way out for Rainsford "one of the main characters in "the Most Dangerous Game" is a boat. But the setting is also different. For example High Noon is in the old west and it's in the desert. And "the Most Dangerous Game" takes place…

    The stories of High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game are very similar to each other. First things first is to explain the stories. High Noon is a story about a marshal named Will Kane who arrested a criminal named Frank Miller (or Mitchell as its changed in the screenplay). Miller for some reason is set free and now that he's on the loose, he and his gang are on the hunt for Kane. When Kane finds out about this, he has just married his wife Amy who is a Quaker. So now he has to decide whether to fight Miller and his gang or flee town with his wife. The other story, The Most Dangerous Game, is similar in its own ways. The Most Dangerous Game is about a man named Rainsford who falls off his boat and is stranded on an island called Ship Trap Island. He discovers that the island is owned by a skilled hunter named General Zaroff. Rainsford discovers something different about the general is placed in a life and death situation. These two stories have many similarities with the settings, themes, and conflicts.…

    It is both nonfiction and a personal account, while the other two stories are fiction, “The Most Dangerous Game” being adventure fiction, and “A Sound of Thunder” science fiction. Compared to both stories, “Being Prey” is also very short. It doesn’t really have many different characters, and it doesn’t have too many different elements and subplots going into it; it is purely a telling of a misfortune the author went through. Though they were all very different, all of the stories had good pacing and were written well. Every story also kept the reader in suspense, as we had no idea what would happen next, and each story had the factor of possible…

    As Donnie Vincent once said, "The truth is... I'm always saddened when I kill an animal. It's not remorse I feel. I know why I'm a hunter. It's out of respect." But not always do the roles stay the same, sometimes, the tides turn and the hunted become the hunters.This story is so thought provoking, because of its classic theme that anyone can become the hunted. When one looks at “Hungry Like The Wolf” by duran duran, one can see that this theme is still pertinent to today’s world because even in music they show that anyone can become the hunted. One example is when in the duran duran song, they say “Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme, I’m on the hunt I’m after you.” The use of mood, suspense and setting are expertly crafted to support the theme of The Most Dangerous Game”.…

    First topic to be compared is conflict. The two stories share two conflicts, a struggle for survival. In Jack London’s “To Build A Fire” the main character, not named, thinks in his head, “Without doubt he would lose some fingers and toes and some of his face…” (London 703). In the same manner, the main character, named Rainsford, kills a dog and the “bad guy” says to him “… I’ll see what you can do against my whole pack” (Connell 28). However, the two stories differ in what they struggle against. In “To Build A Fire” the conflict is person versus nature. For example the guy builds a fire and from the spruce tree falls some snow and puts out the fire; to quote “He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree” (London 700). Meanwhile, in “The Most Dangerous Game” the conflict is person versus person which is Rainsford being hunted down by General Zaroff-the “bad guy”- in the middle of a baron island. To quote from General Zaroff “Your strength and stamina against mine” (Connell 24).…

    When I read the short stories "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell and "Child by Tiger" by Thomas Wolfe for this essay, I thought they had very little in common. Connell's story takes place much earlier (my guess would be around 1900), and is set on an exotic island, while Wolfe's story seems to take place around the 1920's and is set in rural America. Also, while it's true that both include a manhunt, complete with bloodhounds, the motivations for the hunt couldn't be more different. In "The Most Dangerous Game", the antagonist, General Zaroff, resorts to hunting human beings out of boredom. He says to Rainsford (the protagonist),…
