English 9 Class Notes

Freshmens, yesterday second period completed “The Most Dangerous Game” and we summarized the action of the story and broke it into its constituent plots points. Seventh period played catch-up today, though, and only began the story. I’ll do my best to get the afternoon class on par with the morning class next time, when we should finish the text.

The other day I mentioned to second period a connection with Connell’s short story: a terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger adaptation of Stephen King’s short story, The Running Man. I’ve not actually read the story—my brother-in-law turned me off of Stephen King a long time ago (so much that I’ve never actually been tempted to read a King text)—but I grew up in the 80s and have seen many of the California governor’s action movies.

That’s it. See you next time.
