The Interloopers- I can relate to The Interloopers because it is filled with a lot of irony. Irony is apparent in everyday life, but especially in this story. Two men, who both think the woods is their territory, are hunting each other down. When they finally see each other, they hesitate, and a bolt of lightning strikes a tree, pinning them both to the ground. They wait patiently for their men, but while they do, they make a truce, so when they are freed, they will share the land equally. They plan to tell their men the same thing, but when they see a group, it isn't their men, it is a pack of wolves. Irony plays its part in the story, because no-one will ever know the truce that would have solved so much fighting. That is how I relate to The Interloopers.
Harrison Bergeron- I can relate to this story, because I read a similar one. It was about a future world, where the government controlled how smart everyone was by eliminating families and creating children in a factory. They would have very few people that were as smart as possible, and many, many people who were intellectually infearior at birth. This relates to Harrison Bergeron because the government in both situations decided how people would live.
The Most Dangerous Game- I felt a perosnal connection in more than one way when it came to The Most Dangerous Game. One because I enjoy nature alot, and am interested in shows like Man Vs. Wild, and SuvivorMan, so I am used to having to think in useful ways, in order to prepare myself in a potentially life threatening situatuion. Also, in The Most Dangerous Game, the main character has to not only survive Zarroff's threats, but also, he has to come up with some of his own. I found it especially interesting when he took a young tree and used it to fling a knife at Zarroff's bodyguard. That is how i can relate to The Most Dangerous Game.
