This thriller was very effective. It built suspense and made the reader want to know what was next. Going from the hunter to the hunted back to the hunter]]> 2017-11-16 17:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782598 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782698 The thriller genre is a work of literature that gives off feelings of excitement, anxiety, tension, suspense, or fear.  An effective thriller is a story that accurately uses dramatic irony in tense situations and a story that uses darkness imagery or contrasts light and dark.  The techniques in the story, 'The Most Dangerous Game,'  are the darkness of the forest in the story.  This is also portrayed in that the most of the story is at night.  The story is also contrasting light and dark by giving Zaroff a friendly feel to Rainsford, as they are very similiar.  Yet Zaroff takes a turn in the midst of the story, changing the  tone from light to dark for Rainsford.  The dialogue in the story also represents how Zaroff was informing Rainsford of his fate whilst Rainsford believed he was on the side of the Hunter, not the Hunted.  This provided dramatic irony as the audience found Zaroff to be off, or to perfect, whilst Rainsford was clueless of the matter.

I would like to have three body paragraphs, one each to explain all of the settings, tension, and situations that showed the use of dramatic irony. My next two paragraphs would be based on the two sides shown in the story. The hunted and the hunter.]]> 2017-11-16 17:10:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782698 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782711 A thriller genre is a genre that has suspense, mystery, action and nerve raking. What makes an effective thriller is the ability to have more then one suspense full moment. A good example of this would be "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. One part was when General Zaroff was below Rainsford's tree. This is a good example because it shows suspense and darkness imagery. ]]> 2017-11-16 17:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782711 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782780   A thriller genre is a story that creates suspense and fear in the reader. An effective thriller gives the readers extreme emotions and fear for a character or multiple characters. One more component to a thriller is dramatic irony because the readers know what is going to happen but the characters do not. A good example of a thriller is Richard Connell's, "The Most Dangerous Game." Richard Connell was effective in creating a good thriller because in almost every paragraph I was on the edge of my seat wanting to warn Rainsford of the danger around him. The author uses darkness imagery to add tension and suspense. He successfully uses cliffhangers to build tension towards exciting and scary parts in the story.]]> 2017-11-16 17:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782780 jnhandel22 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782824 The thriller genre is a story that makes the reader react with different kind of emotions and feelings such as fear, horror, anxiety, tension, and suspense. A thriller really woks when the author uses irony, dark imaginary, and alteration of dark words. Thrillers are really effective when they built suspense and are dramatic.
In Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game, he uses dark imagery and suspense to make this story how effective it is. 

I will go on and have 2 body paragraphs. In the first one I will talk about ]]> 2017-11-16 17:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782824 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782863 The thriller genre creates the feeling of suspense, fear, tension, and anxiety. "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, effectively excites these emotions by using dramatic irony, dialogue, and the setting. ]]> 2017-11-16 17:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782863 afyukich22 https://padlet.com/cgunter1/l4v3b7ij9345/wish/207782899       The thriller genre  allows people to practice being scared knowing it's not real. This genre has to sub categories horror and action.  In order to have a successful thriller you need to have suspense, dramatic irony, fear, and anxiety weaving through the reader's brain. For example, in Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" he displays  the action side of a thriller and the horror in some ways. 

I will likely have two body paragraphs, one to explain Connell's horror side of the story and one to explain the action side of it. After that I'll have a conclusion

For example, Zaroff is just playing with Rainsford and Rainsford is doing all he can to survive while Zaroff hunts him with inhumane ease. 

I will have two to three body paragraphs in order to explain how this story is an effective thriller. After that, I will have a conclusion to wrap up all the key points.
