BLINGER Tuesday 9/11/12 Reader’s Response: Is the killing of another human being ever justified? Explain in what instances it is appropriate to take another's life. Use examples from “The Most Dangerous Game” to support your response.

Theme Statements

Figurative Language Metaphor Simile Personification Irony Hyperbole

Metaphor A figure of speech in which a comparison is implied but is not stated; the comparison is between two unlike things without the use of “like” or “as”. Example from Game: “the night would be my eyelids” (Connell 165). ▫Connell compares the night to eyelids to illustrate just how dark it is outside.

Simile A simile is a comparison of two unlike things using “like” or “as”. Example from Game: “…but it was like trying to see through a blanket” (Connell 165). ▫Again, Connell is comparing the night to a blanket to illustrate the intense darkness. However, this is a simile because he uses like. ▫Which comparison is stronger? The simile or the metaphor?

Personification Personification is a metaphorical figure of speech in which animals, ideas, things, etc. are represented as having human qualities. Example from Game: “…the muttering and growling of the sea breaking on a rocky shore” (Connell 166). ▫Seas do not mutter or growl, humans do.

Irony There are three types of irony: ▫Verbal Irony: A figure of speech in which the literal meaning of the words is the opposite of the intended meaning. ▫Dramatic Irony: The reader knows more about a situation than the character involved. ▫Situational Irony: A discrepancy between an anticipated outcome and a realized outcome. Example of Verbal Irony from Game: “We do our best to preserve the amenities of civilization here” (Connell 170). - This is an ironic statement because he is committing a most uncivilized act—murder!

Hyperbole A hyperbole is when you use deliberate and obvious exaggeration for effect. Example from Game: “Yes, even that tough- minded old Swede, who’d go up to the devil himself and ask him for a light” (Connell 165). ▫The hyperbole is used to show that Captain Nielsen is so tough that he wouldn’t be afraid to approach the devil.

Other Literary Devices Suspense Foreshadowing

Suspense Suspense is the sustained interest in a narrative created by delaying the resolution of the conflict. Creators use suspense to make you feel an emotion (fear, nervousness). Example from Game: “The old charts call it ‘Ship- Trap Island,’” Whitney replied. “A suggestive name, isn’t it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place” (Connell 164). ▫The author begins building suspense in the story by describing the mysterious references to Ship-Trap Island.

Foreshadowing A clue or hint of future events in a narrative. Example from Game: “The place [Ship-Trap Island] has a reputation—a bad one” (Connell 165). ▫There might be danger ahead for Rainsford on this island.
