    a necessity for any story‚ facilitating a reason for readers to continue flipping the pages. A powerful literary device indeed‚ but it is exceptionally hard to master. However‚ noted author Richard Connell is one of the exceptions. In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Connell‚ the nigh palpable conflict between the characters is certainly a key reason to turn the pages.

    Comparative Essay Though one could argue that Wolff’s “Hunter’s in the Snow” and Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” share an aspect of higher insight that can be classified in literary fiction‚ Hunter’s in the Snow allows the reader to develop a deeper understanding of human nature by presenting three dynamic characters.

    "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.

    How did Sanger Rainsford successfully outsmart General Zaroff in the manhunt? In “The Most Dangerous Game” there are multiple ways Rainsford outsmarts Zaroff but there are three main ways‚ that are my favorite. The first trap that Rainsford made to get Zaroff is a Malay man catcher. Then Rainsford sets a second trap that is called the Burmese Tiger pit that killed one of Zaroff’s best dogs. Finally the last trap is where Rainsford ties his knife to a sapling branch with some vine. The trap didn’t
