critic remarked that “Ironically‚ Zaroff’s belief in his invincibility as a hunter‚ weakens him and causes his defeat.” After reading “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell‚ I think thins comment is right on target and I agree with him one hundred percent.

film did a great job at humanizing the little girls and their families.

It is just as vivid to the all the friends and relatives of the four little girls‚ as if it happened yesterday. As I

A good children’s book transcends these mundane uses‚ and is simultaneously an excellent pedagogical tool‚ a sophisticated medium for transmitting culture‚ a psychologically satisfying “hero’s
