Comparing The Most Dangerous Game And Blues Ain T No Mockingbird

Decent Essays
After reading the three stories “The Most Dangerous Game”,”The Scarlet Ibis”, and “Blues Ain’t No Mockingbird”, I like the “The Most Dangerous Game” the best. All of these stories have great plot and story. They are all great and range pretty far apart storyline-wise.

I like “The Most Dangerous Game” the best because it's more action packed and just keeps you in the story, except for when it doesn't straight out say that Zaroff died. While he was on the boat I found it weird that no one noticed he was gone.

“Blues Ain't No Mockingbird” is confusing, because the old people are just sitting there living off of their farm, and clearly they don't want to be bothered. The moviemakers could go and interview another family.

“The Scarlet Ibis”

    The story does not contain a certain goal that the main character has to achieve. It emphasizes less on the pace of the plot. In contrast, "The Most Dangerous Game” relies on Rainsford who has to beat Zaroff, or else he would be put to death. This commercial story cannot end without reaching a conclusion. This genre is dependent on the plot of the story.…
