“The Most Dangerous Game” Plot Change


If I was General Zaroff I would do a couple things different. Although he invented this evil game with no nice intentions at all, it makes since why the General gave Rainsford a chance. All that did was basically prolong the evil game and Rainsford's death. All it did was teach Rainsford what not to do. I think if I was General Zaroff I would have killed him the first day when I seen him. Another thing I would've done differently is going home. If these changes occurred the plot might not have been interesting although these decisions I made were to win and not to make a book, but there would've been more hunting. And if there is more hunting then this is also interesting and I either would have had a really short or really long rising action.

"Dog Star" Chronological Order of Flashback Paragraph



Using any literary device can help a book, story, or any text in general. For example, in the story "Dog Star" they used flashback. If not interesting, using flashback, makes the story just so much better. In my opinion, as long as it makes sense then it's better than chronological order. I believe chronological order can be a boring plot. In the book when the astronomer was depressed, he remembered all the nice things that he and the dog shared together. If the book would have just said it in chronological order it would have been a horrible plot for the story. I am glad the book used flashback.

Summer School Plan


I have simple goals for summer school. I plan on going to school. Second I plan on doing all the class work. Third I plan on ignore distractions and try as hard as possible. Fourth I am going to do all my homework. If and when I follow these basic goals I am just going to fly right through the classes. I plan on taking these unnecessary classes and just moving on to my wonderful summer. These plans are basic, successful, and easy. I am actually not looking forward to summer school, but it is what it is and I just have to strive.

"Dog Star" Before You Read: Special Animal (A)


I am an animal person myself, and tend to like dogs a lot. I kind of feel sympathetic for them so I always care for them. For example, on my street there was a pit bull owned by a horrible owner. It wasn't mean but it just sat in its yard. One day I went to pet it and it started eating my chips that were in my hand. I realized it was hungry so I brought it some left over, and I did this for several months. During these months I also owned 8 dogs myself and two of them were stray that my family and I kept. I was also close to these dogs, just as I was to my other dogs in the past.
