In all great stories, even the smallest details are important, including the literary components. Some of the greatest stories of all time, including High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game use the components to make their story better. Within each component, there are endless possibilities and without them, both stories would not be the same. A lot of the components that were used make the stories very similar, but they are also very different at the same time. High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game are two different stories that share some ideas.
The settings in both stories are so much alike. "If he does, and if we ran - they'll just come after us. Four of them, and we'd be all alone on the prairie" (Foreman 293).There is only one way out of the town which is on the same train that the trouble will come from. Will Kane is stuck at a desolate town with no way to escape Frank Miller. In The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford has a problem with his surrounding, like Kane. "This place has a reputation - a bad one" (Conell). No

one wants to go to a creepy island, but that is the only place where Rainsford can go to when he is knocked off of the ship, and it is the same island that traps him, making sure that he cannot escape from Zaroff. In both of the stories, both main characters are forced to face their problems because of the setting. The protagonists are more complex than the setting; they are both the same and different in so many ways. The protagonist is always the good guy, or hero of the story. The same rule applies for both High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game, however, their personalities are not alike in the slightest. "No. That's what I've been thinking. They're making me run. I've never run from anybody before" (Foreman 293). Kane is heroic, he does not run from his problems even if there was somewhere for him to go; Will Kane does what he thinks is right. He is a typical hero, he does what is right for the sake of other people, however, Rainsford has a different tune. "'Nonsense,' laughed Rainsford. 'This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes -- the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters'" (Conell). Unlike Kane, Rainsford is not the hero type. Rainsford sees himself as the best of the best, he thinks that animals are inferior. Kane is all for helping people whereas Rainsford is about killing. Rainsford and Kane have opposite opinions on what is right. Though their personalities are different, the protagonists win in the end. In every story, the tone sets the mood.
The tone is disparate in both stories. "An evil place can, so to speak, broadcast vibrations of evil" (Conell). In The Most Dangerous Game, you get a creepy feeling. You can always feel the tension along with a huge amount of suspense that leaves you on the edge of your seat. When Zaroff tells Rainsford his plans and what he is hunting, everyone is shocked, Zaroff turns into a creepy character that gives the story a unique edge. "Will, I think you ought to go while there's still time. It's better for you - and better for us" (Forman 315). In High Noon, you feel the suspense and the excitement of the underdog but the tone is mostly lonely. Kane searches for health and everyone turns him down, making him fight alone. There is a slight feeling of hope in High Noon while there is a slight eerie feeling in The Most Dangerous Game. The tones give you a large variety of feelings which makes the stories
dissimilar. Three are many similarities and differences between the two stories from the beginning to end. The settings are very similar by trapping both of the protagonists. The tones are different throughout both. The protagonists are both similar and different. While their personalities are not even close to the same, what happens to them is almost identical. Furthermore, several components of the stories are similar and several are different.
There are many similarities and differences between the story “The Most Dangerous Game” and the episode of Gilligan's Island that we watched. Some similarities include: someone is being hunted, the setting is similar, and both victims get away in the end. Some differences include: the moods of the stories, the strategies that are used by the huntees, and how the hunter got to the island.
Throughout the years, there have been many different texts and while some of them can be very similar or focus on the same topic, no text is truly the same as another. Every story, essay, or poem written is unique even if by little amounts. Spying is a very popular topic that has spawned many texts about the topic, such as The Dark Game by Paul Janeczko, and the Code Book by Simon Singh, and while the texts focus on this topic and have many similarities, they are also quite different in many ways.
The two story High Noon and "The Most Dangerous Game" are alike in some ways, but very different in many other ways also. High Noon is a story about an honest man named will khan; Who is a Marshall that has sent a prisoner to jail named frank Miller. Who has now come out of jail to get revenge on will. When will needs the towns people of hadleyville for help to defeat frank when he comes after will no one helps. In the other hand "The Most Dangerous Game" is about two very skilled hunter between Rainsford who get trapped on Ship-Trap island by Zaroff who owns the island. When Rainsford realizes what Zaroff hunts in his island he must leave as soon as possible. Zaroff tells Rainsford he could either hunt with him or against him.
The two short stories had many differences like time period, but had a huge common similarity, murder. The murder in the “Full Circle” was done out of jealousy and “The Most Dangerous Game” was done for sport. Some of the most
In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” Connell uses foreshadowing to create suspense. For example, he uses the quotes “Who cares how a jaguar feels?” and “Bah! They’ve no understanding.” In these quotes, Rainsford is saying that the animals don’t feel anything when they are being hunted. He thinks it’s okay to hunt animals because they don’t understand what pain and fear feel like. These quotes foreshadow to when Rainsford actually experiences being hunted and he realizes that animals do feel pain and fear when hunted. Furthermore, he uses the quotes “He is a Cossack” and “So am I”. In these quotes, General Zaroff is hinting that he is a Cossack and may be a bit of a savage. These quotes foreshadow the fact
After reading the stories “The Most Dangerous Games” and “The Cask of Amontillado”, “The Most Dangerous games” is my treasured of the two stories. The reason why I like “ The Most Dangerous Games” as a result the story is about hunting and I love to hunt. For example on the first day of the hunt for Rainsford, Rainsford tried to make a hard to follow him. After that he made a log and tied it to gather and then he put some of the strings over a branch and hid behind a log less than one hundred feet away. Next traps Rainsford dug next to the Quicksand and he put long like stakes pear in the bottom of the pothole and then climb a tree not far away. His plan didn’t direct the way he intended . He had retrieved a couple of the mongrel instead
Initially in both stories there is an incident that traps a group of males in a secluded, unknown location. They are forced to work together to survive. As the stories progress we see an instance in each where someone threatens to kill another person. For example, in The 33, one man threatens to murder another man because he uses his iPod. One of the main differences we see is the outcome of the situations.
Those similarities and differences can be found anywhere when comparing and contrasting, especially when it is over two genres with a main topic. In the case of The Most Dangerous Game, the short story was more descriptive, informative, and did not stray far from the central theme of everything has feelings no matter what someone may think. “You have one the game.” Rainsford did not smile. “I am still a beast at
Both stories move with small biting twists . Both stories lead up to an extremely ironic, and arguably comical, conclusion. The two stories are gut wrenchingly suspenseful at times, from escaping a serial killer deep in a foreboding jungle, to planning to fight to the death as a result of a family feud. Both stories fill the reader with anxious, gut wrenching, edge of the seat, excitement. The other similarities are the foreshadowing contents within both stories that keep the reader guessing. Other times in both stories, the suspense is thickening within the paragraphs. ex; “ Rainsford had fought his way through the bush for two hours. ‘I must keep my nerve. I must keep my nerve,’ he said through tight teeth.” (Most Dangerous Game)
In the first story i read the sound of thunder the technology was more advanced than the others i have read. Also in the second one i read the foghorn the location was in the present and on earth not located in the past. Lastly the story all in a summer day was different because the characters were not dealing with a beast they were each just dealing with time. This proves that each of the stories had many differences.
The two settings contain several cases of similar details and events occurring. “Dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs,” (Connell). “The forest lands of Gradwitz were wide extent and well stocked with game,” (Saki). Both stories take place in a dense wooded area that holds many dark twists and turns, the land itself
When Rainsford falls off of the boat, he has to try his best to stay afloat until he can find something to latch on to. He swims vigorously until he reaches Ship-Trap Island. "Jagged crags appeared to jut up into the opaqueness... dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs." It is midday and he is just searching for a place to rest when he runs into Ivan, the astonishingly large guard of the island. Zaroff, the owner of the island, joins in on their conversation about hunting. The conversation is interesting to say the least. Zaroff says, "You'll find this game worth playing…your brain against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Your strength and stamina against mine. Outdoor chess! And the stake is not without value, eh?" Zaroff is trying to point out that he finds interest in hunting humans, and he wants to know if Rainsford will rise to the challenge. Rainsford is left with a choice to make; will he fight Zaroff, or will he decline and get killed by Ivan. The choice in this situation is pretty self- evident.
The atmosphere between the two scenarios is very similar with the crowds cheering, the audience can relate to their own experience at a similar sport event. One of the main plots is revenge between the two because Tilly Dunnage wants revenge on the townspeople and jasper Jones wants revenge for whoever killed Laura. Another plot that is similar is murder, Eliza Wishart death and Stuart Pettyman death being the main drive for both texts. Another plot that most audiences can’t connect with is Small towns, simply because most people grew up in similar conditions and environments. A part of the plot that isn’t put together until the end of the in both texts is that one person knew the entire time what happened. Barney and Eliza Wishart saw exactly what happened but didn’t tell anybody because they were scared to be sent away or
Facing hardships, problems, or obstacles shouldn’t discourage one from completing their task or job. Many of authors usually put their characters through tough complications to show the reader that no matter what happens; anyone could pull through. In the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connel, the main character Mr. Rainsford gets stranded on an eerie island with a bad reputation. He meets General Zaroff and gets thrown into a huge hunting game, where his life is on the line. In the end, he wins the game and will continue to hunt animals, but not people, as the general once did. He will continue to hunt because one, hunting means everything to him. Two, he will not continue the general’s crazy ways, and resort back to the legal and non-dangerous to other humans sport. Third, he feels powerful when he becomes the hunter and not the hunted. Giving up hunting would be like giving up his life, so just because of a minor block he had to overcome, he will not give up hunting.
Any great novel seeks to explore human nature, our morality, our trust in each other, the delicate inner workings of our societies. A classic that does more than explore the ways of our world, it exposes them, down to the nitty-gritty bare bones. These books force us to look at the world around us and truly see everything that is happening around us, not just the outer layers.... ... middle of paper ... ...
