In Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game, I felt that he wanted the reader to be cautionary about hunting because he showed that when you overdo something, it can become something horrible.He thought hunting was morally okay, but when you take it too far, it can be a disaster, "Hunting? Great Guns, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder. It turns to something way worst than hunting, it turns to murder. General Zaroff overdid hunting and he made it more into a game than a sport. He would make people try and survive but if they were found, they were killed, "A rather good lot, I think." "The Hunt" was used more often than hunting because I believe that General Zaroff thought that everything in general was one big hunt, "My real interest was always the hunt." I don't think that Connell's tone was not to hunt, just to always give yourself guidelines and not to turn into some murderer.The general was studying him immensely, "Whenever he looked up from his plate, he found the general studying him, appraising him narrowly". The general was planning to take his skill to the test against another skillful hunter. He was studying him and seeing what properties he had as a good competitor against General Zaroff.

In my book, "The Drawing of the Three" by Stephen King, one character stands out above all the rest. The character in this book is the gunslinger. Somehow, he has walked through a door into another person's mind. He can partially control what the person does. Referring back to my previous post, I can really relate to that. Some days, the decisions I make, or the way I feel just doesn't feel like me. Those are bad days because sometimes the decisions I make when I'm not "myself" can impact me in a negative manor. The gunslinger in this story has tremendously helped out the person who's mind he has in partial control. Eddie (or the guy who has the gunslinger in his mind) is involved with a drug deal and the gunslinger helps him get out of it. I don't yet know if the gunslinger is a good or bad person, all I know is that he helped a person in need and to me that's a good person.

I can relate to the book "The Drawing of the Three " by Stephen King in a real life situation. There have been times where I feel like someone has actually stepped into my mind because when I make decisions, they don't feel like my own. This book has challenged me to a far extent. When I read this book, it is harder to understand but I am also making many connections. I'm glad I picked this book to read because I would like to challenge myself in the future and read books like "The Drawing of the Three" because this book has really helped me take my thinking to the next level and no longer be confined to think inside the box.
