Whether it is a book your eyes are glued to or a movie on the big screen, stories are different in numerous ways. Two fantastic stories that are like this are High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game. One takes place on an island, and the other takes place in the Wild West. One is about a criminal seeking revenge on his enemy, while the other is about a man being hunted by a rich, cruel general.

When Rainsford realized that he was being hunted, he told the general "I wish to go today" to which the general said "We will hunt-you and I" (Connell). This part of the story only adds more build-up. Although the plots of the stories are different. They both have a lot of

Would you rather be living in a town with a murderer and his gang on the loose or be on an island with a man who kills people for his own enjoyment?
