In the article, Aurora Police Seek Stabbing Suspect, by The Denver Post, it talks about a man that got stabbed just like in the short story we read. We read "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connel, where a man named Rainsford got trapped on a eerie island where the man there hunts not just animals. Zarnoff, the hunter, owns the island and makes people crash into it so he can hunt them. He gives them a 3 hour head start and then goes out looking for him. Rainsford is a smart hunter as well but this time he is the hunted not the hunter. He creates many traps to kill Zarnoff and try to get away but they don't succeed. He is armed with a knife while Zarnoff has a pistol. Raisford makes a trap where the knife is attached to a branch that will spring down and stab him. When he triggers the trap, it ends up killing his assistant instead of him. This has to do with the article because it was about a man that got stabbed in Aurora and was killed. This is a lot like the story and has a lot to do with what we our talking about in class.

In the article, "The Possibility of More" by Karl Fisch, it explains how Jeff Krause is a exceptional English teacher trying to to improve his teaching and himself. This matters because he is my English teacher and I want him to know what hes doing so I can learn the right stuff. This will help me throughout the semester because I will learn a lot more in my freshman year so I wont be behind the rest of my high school career. I think this relates to the world because he is setting a good example to all English teachers around the world to work harder and try to become more educated to know exactly what they are teaching there students. When he learns, we all learn.
