Owl Creek Bridge, Dangerous Game

As soon as it started i knew it was going to be a sad story. Any story starting off with someone getting hung cant be good. I found it very weird that the man would rather be hung and drowned then be shot. I also found it weird that his brain and his body were almost to different things his hands were saving him yet he was telling them not it. It is amazing that he was able to get out of the situation too. But then when he got up out of the water he ended up getting shot at but they all missed him. he traveled all night to get back to his wife and children and right before he gets to his wife he dies! i couldnt believe it. it made me sad, that was not the ending i had hoped for i thought he was going to be free but at the last minute hes died.

I have read this story before in middle school. I dont remember the details but i remember what happens in general but reading it again i got the details and knew what was going to happen and it was disturbing listening to him talk about how he sticks the island and has the biggest game since i already knew it was humans.at first i thought they were going to go out hunting together but the general wanted to play the game with him it was a close call the first night i agree that the general knew he was there. He played the game very well and he won. this story was an ending that i hoped for. It was very intense at times, wondering if the general was going to catch him but he outsmarted him.
