Conflict of this story is that Della cuts her hair to buy Jim a expensive gift that will worth giving to him to show the love she got for him.
The resolution is that they will hold their gift to show how they care and what they went threw to get the gifts.

The Focal reading/literary element of the story is that making predictions and understanding situational irony and the surprising ending.

My analysis of The Most Dangerous Game MOST DANGEROUS GAME
I liked the story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell because it was interesting to read about a man hunting a man. The main characters of the story are Rainsford,general zaroff, and Ivan. Rainsford a celebrated hunter, falling off a yacht and landing on the private island of a rich and blood thirsty hunter.General Zaroff, Rainsford was sickened to realize the general zaroff hunted men and then he was being asked to join in on hunting men. When rainsford refused to join him, because he became the prey and Ivan. General Zaroff gave Rainsford a 3-hour headstart and then tried to hunt him down. Rainsford was able to avoid Zaroff and set several traps and killed some of Zaroff’s dogs and his body guard Ivan and at the end he killed General Zaroff.
The climax of the story occurred when Rainsford refused to hunt with General Zaroff and became the hunted for General Zaroff’s last great hunt. The story took place on an island named Ship-Trap Island..
