To be Hunted or Hung?
I was very interested in one story over the other. I was motivated by The Most Dangerous Game. There was on quote in the story that really bothered me. General Zaroff says, "I had to invent a new animal to hunt." This man obviously has some serious problems. I think he needs to see a therapist badly. Maybe if he didn't live on an island alone with just a "Deaf and dumb" Cosack and a pack of mean hounds he wouldn't be so bored with hunting animals and have to resort to humans. The general is a murder and is very sick. He not only murders the humans but he does a cat and mouse game with them. He gives them three days to live and when he kills them he puts their heads on his wall. Are you kidding me? Who the hell would be in their right mind to put a head humans head on their wall?! This man seriously shocks me. I was so glad when Mr. Rainsford won the game and beat the general at what he does best. I laughed and wanted to say "Suck on that, General!" I was NOT a fan of General Zaroff. He has some very serious mental problems that needs to be looked into. He needs to be locked up for life. The other story was weird. I did not enjoy it. I felt it had no point to it and was very confused by what the author was trying to get at. I think it is weird to write about a man who got hung and than you are given a strange false hope that he is still alive because he escapes and gets away. Then all of the sudden he has a vision of his wife all ready for him when his neck snaps and he dies of a broken neck. I found this story gross and disturbing. I was not a fan. Overall I think I would be interested in writing my paper on The Most Dangerous Game because I think I could write something solid. I am not sure what I would go off of on it because there is so many options but I am sure I could figure something out. So to be hunted or hung? Hunted.
