Today in our wonderful all gentleman's English class, we finished the movie Rope. At the ends of the movie, Rupert found out that Brandon and Phillip killed David. Rupert shot a gun out the window so that the police would come and arrest Brandon and Phillip for the murder. After we finished the movie we were handed a short story booklet where we marked page 27 of the story Most Dangerous Game. We found out that we need to read over the story and annotate it likewise:

1. How do words and actions affect who others become (highlight and explain)

2. Look for literary devices (highlight and explain)
