In this unit of our English class we read a wide variety of short stories. But only one stood out to be the most and I hope to portray that in this writing. The short story I've selected to write about is titled “ The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. This was my favourite story to read by far with its twists and turns and enduring plot that kept its readers wondering what would happen.

My first one ill talk about is the conflict portrayed in the story between General Zaroff and Rainsford . Next the setting and how it gives the story emotion and feeling.

This quote can clearly display the opposing ideas the two share. General Zaroff who wants to have some fun toying with Rainsford , then Rainsford who fully despises General Zaroff's ideas of amusement and
