Blog Assignment Four

We have slowly, somewhat methodically read Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game in class. Along the way, I have asked you many questions; I have asked you to discuss ideas with your partner, and I have directed you to reflect on the way the author has built several literary elements, especially plot and character.

I would like two posts that show reflection. In the first post, please consider why I have been so involved in the reading, why have I interrupted this suspenseful story so many times with my irksome questioning? What do you believe was my primary purpose?

In the second post, I would like you to consider what you learned by reading the story this way; for better or for worse. Please be specific and genuine.
