really there to experience it yourself. The Red Death was chosen because it peaked my interest on how Poe would show a world affected by a plague. In the story Poe really out did himself. The Red Death showed that no matter how fancy the house, clothes or food one cannot escape the fact we all die and can’t escape death.

While I sit here playing Red Dead Redemption by Rockstar San Diego it reminds of a lot of action adventure games. The game resembles any other game I have played, but the animations during the hunting sense are something to be seen. My character is equipped with a carbine rifle that he uses to hunt a variety of animals.
