The stories bear minor similarities and differences that the setting influences the plot development by era and place, main characters backgrounds, and environment /time frame of stories.

The characters in the stories all forced problems. The characters were fearless, they forced being hunted, leaving their home. They were forced to do thing they didn’t want to. The characters in Harrison Bergeron was Harrison, in The most dangerous game Is Rainsford and Zarff, and in The Sniper the character was the sniper.

There are a lot of things similar about the story “Liberty” and “Most Dangerous Games” and Harrison Bergerson” and there are a lot of differences. In the story “Liberty” the main character was the little girl/narrator. The setting was the Dominican Republic. The conflict of the story was that narrator wants to go to the United States of America for freedom. This story can compare to all the of the other story’s. In the story “Most Dangerous Games” the main character was Rainsford and Zaroff the setting in the story was the desert/woods. The conflict in the story was that Zaroff was hunting Rainsford.

In two of the most well-known short stories, “The Most Dangerous Game” and “Young Goodman Brown”, there are ironic similarities portraying evil between their settings, characterization, and plot.

When you watch the movie High Noon, and read the story "The Most Dangerous Game" you may not see many similarities or differences when you first read, or watch. But you might start to put the puzzle pieces together when you watch a second time or begin to think about what's the same or different about them. One of the main similarities in both stories is that the main characters are outnumbered by their enemies. This is a reoccurring theme in both. In High Noon, there are four bad guys coming to town to take their revenge on Will Kane. In "The Most Dangerous Game" Rainsford is hunted by Ivan, general Zaroff, and his pack of dogs. Another similarity I spotted was when both characters needed help the most there was no one who was brave enough to help them. One of the major differences between them was they both had different settings, and move at a different pace. However this helps build the stories. Both stories have their own way of building suspense. Each of these stories take showing the theme and differences to a whole new level

The purpose of this paper will be the comparing and contrasting of two short stories previously read and interpreted by the writer. The two stories chosen were “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, and “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. These two stories seem to have nothing in common, as they have two separate meanings in two separate eras. However, the moral of each story draws similarity, the author’s paints a picture to keep the audience open minded therefore connecting them in distinct ways.

Although the stories’ main components mirror each other, they still differentiate. For example, in “The Devil and Tom Walker,” everyone believes Tom has made a deal with the devil, whereas in “Young Goodman Brown,” the author questions the actuality

For example, the two stories are only a few decades apart. The story “Old Glory” took place in the 2041 and in “Harrison Bergeron” it says, “The year was 2081...” Another example is that in “Old Glory” the USA’s flag had more stars on it and that indicates that the US has twelve more countries than it does now. In “Old Glory” the main character's great grandfather says, “Thirteen stripes, sixty‐two stars, and not a bit of meaning.” Also, even though “Harrison Bergeron” takes place in 2081, it doesn’t have as much futuristic advancements as “Old Glory”, which takes place in 2041.

Types of characters compare? This is about the short stories The Most Dangerous Game, a story about a man named Rainsford who stumbles upon a mysterious island and has motivation by entertainment through the sport of hunting humans. And the Cask of Amontillado, a story following Montressor who plans to take fatal revenge on a friend who he believes has insulted him.

The topic of this essay will be about Harrison Bergeron. I believe that Harrison Bergeron is a good person. I believe that he is a hero. He is a intelligent and athletic 14 year old boy. I do not believe that somebody like him shall be criticized because of his handicaps.

Would you rebel for something you believe in, but everyone else does not? Would you die for the cause of something good and helpful to the world? This is exactly what Harrison did. In Chandler Tuttle’ 2081 and Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron,” Harrison's appearances, beliefs, the equipment used on him, and the responses he receives and produces are important aspects to both medias. Though, the short story and film both have its own unique features that help us connect to his personality. Harrison from “Harrison Bergeron” is a considerate, ignored hero, but also an outsider to the people for his beliefs; since he uses the threatening and self-centered words to express his bitterness and words, many feel he is egocentric, but he has only said this to get his word across, although, in 2081, Harrison is a wise, intellectual, mature, and a Christ-like figure, who appeals to our senses in a better way than Harrison from the short story does explaining why the current system is not effective.

Thesis: Death is the main theme of both short stories and both authors portrayed this dark and dreary idea as a game the characters are playing.

One can find similarities and differences in even the most unique short stories. Morrison's Recitatif and Wharton’s Roman Fever describe a friendship between two girls that transforms into an enmity as they grow older due to conflicts. In Recitatif the conflict that overturns the friendship is external. In Roman Fever, on the other hand, the conflict is internal. Edith Wharton’s Roman Fever and Toni Morrison’s Recitatif share common themes of memory and societal norms; however, in Roman Fever friendships follow a competitive and superficial cycle, but in Recitatif friendships are familial.

Did you know that “The Most Dangerous Game” and “The Hunters In The Snow” could be similar in so many ways but have some differences in both stories? There are two main characters in “The Most Dangerous Game” and that is Rainsford and General Zaroff and in “The Hunter In The Snow” has three main characters and that is supposedly friends and that is Tub, Frank, and Kenny. In both stories there are similar times that the elements of the two stories could have similarities and differences. In both stories there are instances that involves hunting. In the stories there could be as each characters have problems with each other or individual. In the stories there are times when the author wants to get the point across and allow the readers to

Harrison Bergeron is a story where the government tries to make everyone equal by handicapping them. You wear a mask if you are pretty, you lug around a heavy back if you are tall and strong, and you have timed beats to distract your brain if you are smart. One person named Harrison tried to rebel, but he got killed. The Lottery is about how every people draw from a black box and if they get a certain ticket they get stoned. Although the two stories have many similarities in conflict they have very different conflict as well. They are generally similar because they both have someone attempting to deny or rebel against society or government and they both get are unsuccessful and killed in the end. They are generally different because one actually does something that most of society wants while one just doesn’t want accept it and society doesn’t care.
