Very Interesting Stories

I have read these two pieces of literature before in high school.  Both The most Dangerous Game and An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge have a twisting plot.  They move in a direction that a first time reader usually can't predict.  These two stories are interesting in their own way.  The Owl Creek Bridge story gives the reader a false sense of hope.  It makes you believe that Peyton got away and escaped death.  This makes me disappointed because when I read stories I often times put myself into the main characters point of view.  This point of view looked great when Peyton was getting away but all my hopes were dashed when at the very end I find out that he was just imagining it.  The Most Dangerous Games is a really good story too.  I think it is one of my favorite short stories.  The idea of being hunted makes me look  from different perspective as the person hunted.  The story is full of mystery and creates suspense.  I liked this story a lot because the main character does in the end survive and prevail over the mad man against all odds.
