The Game of Life

And because of it, gaming has helped mold my educational life. In the past, I learned the basics of English literature, from the concepts of a story arc to character development. However, it was this video that got me to break out of my comfort zone and see the real world. I could see and hear the many different…

“It’s a game you see.” (11). General Zaroff’s words set the tone of Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game”. Upon introduction, Zaroff appears to be nothing more than a sophisticated cosmopolitan who find pleasure in the sport of hunting. Upon closer examination, however, the general’s love of hunting stems from his belief that the intellectually and physically superior men should eliminate those who are weaker. General Zaroff’s sadistic view of humanity in “The Most Dangerous Game” displays…

Life is crazy growing up; makes you want to go back to the times you were younger. I lay down at night and sometimes think about all the meaningful lessons my family has taught me. I know you can relate as you watched your oldest Sam grow up into the person he is now and start a new chapter in his life in college.

of human life What is the value of human life? “To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity” (Nelson Mandela). All people have rights to what they do in life and the choices they make. Value cannot be assigned to an individual human life because every person is unique in their own way, all people are treated with the same amount of respect and fairness, and it doesn’t matter where you come from or what your background is all people are equal.

written to deepen our understanding of life and real world problems. “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell is commercial fiction due to it not containing real world problems from that time or any set theme. However, in the “Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff leans more toward literary fiction, considering there are more symbolic values and morals. It has problems that even to this day some people are still responsible to deal with it. “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” by Ernest…

Given the combination of several different factors, I don’t think Simmons should roll out the Great Game of Life (GGOL) program. I would suggest he wait to launch the GGOL until the economy showed signs of stabilization and the program proved to be definitely effective.
