Most Dangerous Game
Once Upon A Time


Analyze Character:
Describe Characters’ characteristics.  Use detail.
Keep in mind all impressions one gets from character’
description, actions, words and feelings.  What
conclusions are we are supposed to draw?  Is character
development the most important factor--as opposed to
plot—(Character-Driven)?
                                     
Analyze Plot:
Does the plot have a familiar pattern?  Is it
predictable?  Is the Ending Determinate or
Indeterminate?  Is Plot the primary focus (Plot
Driven)?
Do you see any Plot Manipulations, in which the
author is "forcing" the outcome of the story so
that it pleases or shocks?

Analyze Meaning:
Does the story seem to attempt  a "moral", simplistic
or otherwise?  Does the story impart some insight into
the human condition, or merely record the aberrant
behavior for shock value?

What other factors should we consider?  Is the story,
overall, more interpretive or Escapist?
