    High Noon, one of the best movie pictures of all time, is very similar, but different to the short story The Most Dangerous Game. The setting in both stories shows isolation, and how there is no escape. But, they take place in two completely different places physically. The tone of the two stories shows darkness, being alone, and having to go into survival mode. But, the patterns are completely different. Although both High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game have similarities about isolation, their patterns are completely different.…

    In Richard Connell’s short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” Rainsford changes his entire philosophy about hunting. For example, when Whitney disagreed with him about jaguars he said, “You’re a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?”(Connell). Rainsford believes animals have no understanding of what is happening, therefore, it’s okay to hunt them. He doesn’t care if they feel pain or understand death and shows no remorse. In addition, when General Zaroff set the hounds to get Rainsford, he “knew now how an animal at bay feels” (Connell). Rainsford has to run away, set traps, and continuously risk his life to have a better chance at surviving. He felt the way animals do when they are being hunted and finally understood…

    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 Most Dangerous Game, by Richard Connell, is an original nonfiction story about two hunters who take themselves into the Amazon to hunt down animals. Rainsford, one of the main hunters, ends up finding himself on a mysterious island after an accident occurs. Comparing to the film, the characters throughout the scenes differentiate in many ways. Although, the short story itself is entertaining. The changes such as the shipwreck, a love interest, and character development that the director produces a much more dramatic plot, placing the audience on the edge of their seats.…

    How are the two stories “The Most Dangerous Game” and “The Child by Tiger” similar and dissimilar? There are some parts in a story that are comparable to the other, but mostly you can tell that both the authors were trying to tell different stories. Even with the details that you read you can tell that the two authors were trying to be creative and write their own story.

    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…

    The most obvious theme of "The Most Dangerous Game" is that which arises from the relationship of the hunter and the hunted. At the very beginning of story, Rainsford and Zaroff are presented as equals. Both characters are well-accomplished big-game hunters. As the story unfolds, however, their roles change. Rainsford is thrust into the position of the hunted. However, he tries to undermine the game by setting traps for the hunter. Rainsford's form of hunting is passive whereas Zaroff's is active.…

    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),…

    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).…
