Abstract This paper considers the way in which Richard Connell uses character development to illustrate his theme in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game." The paper looks at his use of the character of Rainsford to illustrate the moral problem that hunting presents.
From the Paper "In Richard Connell's short story The Most Dangerous Game the protagonist Sanger Rainsford finds himself caught up in a strange game of hunting on General Zaroff's deserted island. Like Zaroff Rainsford is himself a hunter and does not seem concerned with ..."
Abstract The paper explains that Connell's history provides more details on the humanity of the white and Indian races (which existed between both Custer and Sitting Bull's Sioux victors at the Battle of Little Big Horn) than Robe. The paper contends that the manners of battle detail, characterization and narrative scope are both elements that Robe adheres to in the characterization of Custer, but he fails to generate a realistic sense of proportion and detail in the military aspects of the battle.
From the Paper "The aim of this study will be to examine the nature of western expansionist military history in the novel "Son of the Morning Star: Custer and the Little Big Horn" by Evan S. Connell, alongside the film adaptation of the book entitled similarly "Son of the Morning Star," directed by Mike Robe. The lesser value of the film makes demarcations of accuracy in battle details, characterizations, and narrative from Connell's historical analysis of Custer, which provide some comparisons in relation to the contrasts within these two mediums. The film making style of Rob that depicts Custer's final battle at Little Big Horn relate little of the larger cavalry battles that are depicted within Connell's sweeping narrative of horse fighting and the intensive savagery of war."

Abstract The author believes that this article by K. L. O'Connell is a valuable practical guide to the assessment and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The paper reviews O'Connell's working description of some aspects of the nursing process. This paper states that the nurse's primary role emerges at the assessment stage and that the second important nursing role, especially for school nurses, is in the treatment of ADHD.
From the Paper "Behavioral interventions, controlled environments and individual and family counseling also are described as complementary aspects of treatment. In the sample case O'Connell describes a subject whose symptoms were first identified by a pediatric nurse and whose school performance and behavior were vastly improved by two years of Ritalin therapy and environment management (e.g., seating selection and isolated settings for academic testing)."
Abstract "O'Connell's 1996 article on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) consists of an overview of the disorder and a review of the pediatric nurse's role in its assessment and treatment. Basic steps of the nursing process (assessment, plan of care, and implementation) are discussed in the article and demonstrated in the clinical case study which is appended.

Basic steps of the nursing process (assessment, plan of care, and implementation) are discussed in the article and demonstrated in the clinical case study which is appended. Two other steps in the nursing process, nursing diagnosis and evaluation, are also briefly referred to in the sample case but are not seen as major parts of the nursing function in relation to ADHD. O'Connell's article provides a lucid overview of this only partially understood disorder (including a reprint of the DSM IV diagnostic criteria) in conjunction with the discussion of the nurse's role. It is a valuable practical guide to the subject and, incidentally, produces a working description of some..."
Abstract This paper will discuss the short story by Richard Connel called "The Most Dangerous Game" and seek to understand the idea of human nature and violence. The concept of humans hunting each other will be taken into account, as this paper will discuss the violent side of mankind to hunt his own race. By understanding this terrible side of humanity, we can better see the scope of the author's point of view on mankind.
Abstract This paper examines to what extent the mainland Great British political parties were in agreement over Irish political, religious and economic problems in the period 1798-1893. It explains how towards the end of the period, the two parties began to disagree more on Irish issues, as William Gladstone looked to "pacify Ireland" with his conciliatory approach.
From the Paper "Throughout the period from Wolf Tone's rebellion to the second reform act, the two mainland British political parties attempted to solve the problems of Ireland with a variety of policies. Although there are several areas of policy (such as Home Rule) were the parties disagreed, on other occasions they were singing from similar hymn-sheets. It is therefore less than straightforward to discern to what extent the mainland political parties were in absolute agreement in this period."
Abstract The paper looks at the school's mission that is best summarized through two specific objectives. Firstly, the school aims to prepare high school students to college education through the "principles of Catholic faith." Secondly, it also provides holistic personal development, basing this development through "productive Christian living."
From the Paper "Of course, the culture and behavior of the high school stated above are mainly ideal scenarios, conditions that the high school would want to achieve through quality education and faithful practice and belief in Catholicism. In general, O'Connell Consolidated has a pervasive culture, one that truly represents its members, particularly its students. Because of the strong Catholic values and principles inculcated in each Galveston O'Connell Consolidated student, there is strong adherence to strictly attaining 'proper behavior' not only in school, but in the community and their families as well."
Abstract "The Most Dangerous Game", published in 1924, is a tale of adventure and suspense with a theme that quickly grew into a classic storyline of books and films that followed its publication. " This paper examines the themes of evil and fear in the story.
From the Paper "The Most Dangerous Game, published in 1924, is a tale of adventure and suspense with a theme that quickly grew into a classic storyline of books and films that followed its publication (The Most Dangerous Game intro). A general analysis would explain that this classic motif is "about the hunter and the hunted" (The Most Dangerous Game By Richard Connell), but this exploration is too surface. Connell writes, "I think evil is a tangible thing--with wave lengths just as light and sound have." It is this tangible, let us call it "landscape," that really presents itself as the theme of the story. However, the landscape of The Most Dangerous Game is not one of evil per se but of fear. This will be explored in the following pages. "
