High Noon Compare And Contrast

“The world is made up of two classes - the hunters and the huntees.” In the short story ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ which was written by Richard Connell there are two main characters, Rainsford and General Zaroff. Rainsford thought that General Zaroff wanted to hunt with him when in all reality General Zaroff wanted to hunt him(Rainsford) himself. Richard Connell uses irony, theme and characterization to develop the plot and characters. The use of these literary devices suggests that Connell wanted to make the story more interesting and suspenseful so the reader can enjoy reading it.

A majority amount of stories may have a similar trait to another piece of writing. A large amount of stories have been compared in ways such as theme, settings, characters, irony, and close evidence of foreshadowing. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and “There Will Come Soft Rains,” by Ray Bradbury are an example of similar stories by sharing some of the same qualities. These two readings can be said to be identical in some ways by containing a common idea of negative effects of war and the value of the natural world but can be contrasted by being consisted of two different kinds of main characters.

The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell has been a classic among bookworms looking for a short fix since the 1920s. The story is centered around two main characters, Rainsford and General Zaroff who are both worthy hunters. When Rainsford stumbles upon Zaroff, he finds himself participating in a new game, the hunt for his life. With eyes glued to the writing, someone may not even notice the discretely placed allusions. The allusions in this story are used to make connections between the text and the reader.

Whenever a movie based on a book is produced, similarities must exist. It is crucial that there is correlation throughout the plot of both works in order for the story to be told. One example of a similarity between the plot of both versions of The Most Dangerous Game is that Rainsford and Zaroff were both experienced hunters. Zaroff had hunted all kinds of prey all over the world, and Rainsford was famous for his books on hunting. This made Zaroff’s hunt more enjoyable and Rainsford’s fight for his life more terrifying. Also, in both the movie and short story, Zaroff used dogs to hunt Rainsford. This illustrates that Zaroff did not exactly play fair in the story or the movie. Likewise, there are also major comparisons between the resolution of the literary work and the resolution of the motion picture. For example, in both endings, Rainsford was victorious. He was the first person to

This depicts that Zaroff is the predator hunting his prey, Rainsford. His goal is to hunt down his target and kill it (Rainsford). Personification was also represented in the quote when it describes that the trap had caught something. The Burmese tiger pit had caught its prey, a hound, showing to Rainford that his trap was quite successful. These quotes show that because General Zaroff underestimate Rainsford the other day by letting him live, he made a huge mistake. That caused him, one of his best hounds to die and that was his fault for not killing Rainsford when he had the perfect chance. This is what he deserved for hunting the most dangerous game for quite a long time and not taking the game seriously at the beginning. From what both symbolism and personification can depict, repetition can show that as well.

For many, comparing well written literature is seen as detrimental to the original works of the authors. However, this is not always the case. Comparing literature helps the reader to see intricate details of the story that he or she may have missed when reading it the first time. Also, it can assist the reader in forming a more in depth opinion on each story, and deciding which story is a better piece of literature. For example, while reading “The Lady with the Pet Dog” by Anton Chekhov and “The Lady with the Pet Dog” by Joyce Carol Oates; the reader can come to the conclusion that Oates story is, overall, a more well written piece of literature. One can determine this by looking at different elements of the story; more specifically the structure, setting, and point of view.

For my at home movie I watched Hang em’ High directed by Ted Post. It is considered a spaghetti western that was made in America. In comparison to the film we watched in class, High Noon directed by Fred Zinnemann. These two westerns had many similarities and differences. From differences in how the movie was actually shot, to the similarity of how both of the main characters are loners, these two movies connect all over on many different levels.

Comparing and contrasting Jack and Ralph gives the reader an insight and better understanding of how the book develops. They have many similarities and differences between them. These main characters help explain things in the book like the theme, characteristics, actions, and rivalries. Some major keys of the compare and contrast are qualities in leadership, lessons they teach, and their relationships.

Similarities and differences are present between nearly anything. For instance, two books can be compared in regards to their themes. Likewise, multiple people can be contrasted in regards to their personality. Similarities and differences can be good and bad and they can also help one to clearly see which of the subjects that are being compared are better than the other. Another example of where two subjects can be compared is in Macbeth and The Social Network, in regards to the characters. One may wonder how such different pieces of work could possibly be compared and contrasted, but after analyzing both pieces, it is clear that such similarities and differences exist. Characters

In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” written by Richard Connell the story is mainly about richard finding out that general zaroff hunt humans. At first richard finds hunting humans a problem because he considers it murder but then close to the end rainsford wants to turn the tables and hunt General Zaroff because he has found the fun in hunting humans. This paper is being written because their was a difference in the characters in the movie and the book and this paper is going to explain those differences. For instance in the book you can tell that General Zaroff and Rainsford were way more passionate about hunting. The book even goes as far to say that Rainsford loved hunting like a sport and that all he did was hunt , but in the movie He is too worried about Eve to focus on the true issue at hand. The characters have a difference in the way the act when comparing the book and the movie. This side of the argument can be proven because there were things in the story that didn't even happen in the book. For instance in the movie there were two people that never appeared in the book. One was a female named Eva and the other was a man and nobody even knew his name. On the other hand in the book there was only the main characters , General Zaroff , Rainsford , Ivan , and Whitney. Another statement that will prove my point is that in the book Rainsford was playing the role of the fox when General Zaroff was hunting him which

In comparing and contrasting the book, The Most Dangerous Game and the movie “High Noon”, I found that even though they were different mediums, the had many similar story elements. My supporting paragraphs in my essay are based on character, plot, and setting. In the paragraphs I’m going to show how they are alike and different. After reading these two articles I’ve learned you have to be brave.

High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game are two short but amazing stories. They tell a story dependent on isolation and a feeling of being alone to the person reading and watching them. High Noon is a movie that is the literal representation of being alone with no one on your side. The Most Dangerous Game is a story that paints a picture of instinct in your mind. Both stories allow for an adventure of thoughts and speculation of what might happen next.

When talking about a compare and contrast essay, I thought about my life. When I was younger I would always compare myself to other people and ask myself why I didn’t have what they had. It almost became an infection, but little did I know it would help me in contrasting and comparing the short stories: “Girl” written by Jamaica Kincaid, and “Two Kinds” written by Amy Tan, tying in women’s rights as the main proprietor. The role of women in “Girl” and “Two Kinds” had similarities in what the mother was supposed to instill in her children, and what happens when women have a voice.

Another commonality they share is that they are both timeless stories and they do not date themselves heavily with pop culture references the exception of this some now out-of date language that is not used any more. Both use deeper meanings and themes that stand the test of time, including the morality of hunting and the mind of a murderer. These two idea’s will remain intriguing for years to come.

The pair of short stories I will be analyzing and comparing is “Harvey’s Dream” by Stephen King, and “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates. These two stories are similar in many ways, and they can be compared critically based on their diction, point of view, similarities in narration, characterization, tone, et cetera. Though the stories are from different authors and have different plots, by comparing their literary techniques, their similarities can be unearthed.
