INTRO-

Imagine being stranded on an island only to find out the person who lives there is a murder “The Most Dangerous Game” is just that with its many writing techniques to keep the reader on there toes. Richard Connell uses writing techniques such as Setting, Dramatic irony, and Point of View, to convey the idea of suspense through the story. Using word choice he has made the reader feel curious and suspenseful about what is going to happen and to the main character, Rainsford and what happens on that island.
