    The Sniper The Sniper was the most justified in killing his enemy. Starting with the beginning the snipper face was looked like a student, and his eyes gleamed cold of a fanatic, they were thoughtful the eyes of a man who is used to killing people. The reason he is this way is because WWI was going on, so he lays on top of a building about to light a cigarette when a big BOOM! roared through the streets hitting the building where he lays, so he gets down as fast as he can because he knows this is a life or death situation and he hopes he doesn’t die, so he looks up to see where that shot came from.…

    Compare And Contrast The Most Dangerous Game Movie And Movie

    Another key difference between the story and film is the duration of the game; in the film the duration is just one night while in the story Rainsford must survive three days in the purgatory created by General Zaroff. The final difference is how Zaroff dies, in the film Eve and Rainsford make their way through the swamp and into Zaroff’s bedroom where he ultimately kills Zaroff. In the story however the plan to kill Zaroff is much more convoluted and Rainsford has to jump off a cliff into the water and swim to the Chateau and then just as in the film, Rainsford kills Zaroff. All in all there are many similarities as well as differences in ‘The Most Dangerous Game’. The story in a way makes the game seem as a terrible situation which all though it is a horrible situation in both cases, in the film adaptation you see the most dangerous game as being something that can be won.…

    Comparing The Sniper And Cranes

    The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…
