In the other story, the two kids evened each other out instead.
“When writing a novel, a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.” ― Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon. The connection and love for characters in a story is very important for the readers to experience. Three short stories including “The Scarlet Ibis”, “The Sniper” and, “The Most Dangerous Game” have characters that one either connect strongly to or has no connection, which therefore affects the reader's mood towards the story. The main characters include a handicapped child named Doodle, a sniper who kills his brother, and a man stranded on an island. The connection to the characters in the short stories enhances our emotional connection to the story.
Most people when they hear “The Most Dangerous Game” they think of bull riding or other dangerous games that don’t involve death. “The Most Dangerous Game” is a suspenseful cliff hanging story that follows the days of a castaway on the island of a crazed hunter.Rainsford is a big game hunter who falls off a boat near the island of General Zaroff, a big Cossack general who is looking for an alternative to hunting dangerous animals but with a twist.

Two completely different storylines, one film and one short story, yet there’s so much in common about them both.

The film High Noon tells a story about a marshal who wants to protect his western town when a criminal is coming back for revenge. Both the short story and film are two completely different stories including their characters, yet they also have many similarities such as the conflict and theme that make up the plot.
Another example these two short stories need to cope with is the disappointing result of
High Noon, which was written by Carl Foreman, is a film about a marshal who has to protect his town and himself from a man who is returning from prison on the noon train for revenge with the help of his gang. “The Most Dangerous Game,” which was written by Richard Connell, is a short story about a man who ends up on an island known as ‘Ship Trap Island’ and has to survive from an expert hunter for three days by hiding from the hunter, his dogs, and his accomplice.

The Most Dangerous Game is a story that discusses the inner capability to humans to perform acts of extreme violence. It observes two different, yet similar characters in General Zaroff and Rainsford. They both have very similar views on hunting, as they both consider the feelings of the prey to be meaningless. However, the stark difference between the two characters is the General Zaroff hunts humans and Rainsford hunts big game. Connell made sure to write this similarity into the story for the sake of foreshadowing. The reason for this is simple, the Most Dangerous Game is a story about Rainsford becoming what General Zaroff already is, a murderer. It can be inferred that General Zaroff was most likely very similar to Rainsford before he

First, the similarities between the two short stories. One big similarity is foreshadowing. This took place in both articles, for, “Charles,” an example of foreshadowing is when he had to think who misbehaved and said than finally said, “Charles.” An example of foreshadowing in, “The Lottery,” is when Old Man Warner says, “ Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.” This can indicate that the people of the village are sacrificing a human, which they are.
