The idea that reason versus instinct makes Zaroff and Rainsford different from one another is worrisome. First, when Zaroff is hunting Rainsford he relies on instinct to lead him through the jungle, but when Rainsford is trying to escape he uses seemingly foolproof reason to try and stay alive. We see this on page 25 where it says, "So intent was the Cossack on his stalking that he was upon the thing that Rainsford had made before he saw it. His foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. Even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape." To be honest, I thought the theme made the story more interesting. In conclusion, the theme made a distinct line between how Zaroff and Rainsford hunt their prey.

The diea the jungle is a symbol to this story is a powerful concept. The jungle symbolizes that there is no more control by Rainsford. Zaroff now has all control. Zaroff's control is shown on page 23 where he says "Tonight we will hunt-you and I" Here he is not giving Rainsford much of a choice to e part of this mad game. This shows the idea is a very ruling concept

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of war having frightening effects on you is a important concept. First, Zaroff was obviously the general in war which is a demanding roll. He has control over people which can lead to him hunting people for fun. On page 20 General Zaroff says, "Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting." This shows that he doesn't think of this as a game. He takes control over these people. This also affects and shows evidence for Rainsford he got probably got his Burmese tiger pit (page 26) from war.

I found your comment, "The symbol of Ship-Trap Island provides suspense for the story to be very true. I agree with Ship-Trap Island being a suspenseful symbol in this story because it is away from civilization, (like you mentioned). Furthermore meaning Rainsford is left to defend himself with no way out but to win General Zaroff's game. In conclusion, your response was very true and proved the suspense of the island

# data[].attributes.body
The symbol of Ship-Trap Island provides suspense for the story. It symbolizes an uncharted area, away from civilization and void of law enforcement. We first saw evidence of this symbol on the yacht with Whitney and Rainsford. They were passing Ship-Trap Island and discussing a feeling of fear that shook up the crew while passing the island. For example, on page 14, Whitney says "We were drawing near the island then. What I felt was a--a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread." This provides an eerie, creepy vibe and provides some foreshadowing into later events. To be honest I thought that the symbol of Ship-Trap Island was disturbing; it was an extremely disturbing to imagine what it would have been like in that position. In conclusion the symbolism of Ship-Trap Island is used in a way which offers a uniquely horrifying tale.

The jungle is very good symbol of "The Most Dangerous Game". For example it symbolizes Rainsford's loss of control on whether he lives or not. It also symbolizes that Zaroff is crazy because the trees are going every way. to be honest there are many things that symbolizes "The Most Dangerous Game" but the jungle is one of the best symbols. In conclusion the author did a very nice job of putting symbols in the story but not exactly telling us what it symbolizes.

The color red plays a huge role in "TMDG". It refers to violence that will happen in the future. For example, the quote "blood-warm waters," pg. 14, really hits the spot. It shows that death, blood, and violence have or will be happening here. Of course, you'd only know that if you've read the story but that is what makes it suspenseful. In my opinion, this is just one of the many motifs of the story and that this was a very good way to get the story flowing. In conclusion, the color red is a great motif and an excellent way of kicking off the story.

The idea of the theme of war is a very interesting concept. It also plays a pretty big role in not just Zaroff's life but Rainsford's too. First, Rainsford uses his instincts and starts making a big confusing trail to throw off Zaroff. For example, "He made his way along with his eyes fixed in utmost concentration on the ground before him," page 24, meaning Zaroff found his way through Rainsfords trap. To be honest, I thought this was a very good way to start of the game but, it did not work. In conclusion, the effects of war fits in great with the story and the author does a great job showing this.

In the story, darkness if often refereed to. The "thick warm blackness" (pg.13), the darkness in which the shots came from, the darkness of Zaroff's soul; in which he finds it "OK" to hunt other humans. The author does a fantastic job of refearing to darkness, bringing suspense and edge to the story. In my defense, having a little edge in the story makes it twice as intereseting as a story with just a bland, basic plot. All in all, the mortifis of "darkness" gives the story the perfect edge.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that the symbol is the chase during the hunt. it shows that Zaroff is truly wicked in his own skin. and that Rainsford proved a point in using his instincts and trying his best to escape the possible fact that Zaroff could kill him. Rainsford stayed on his gaurd and relied only on instinct, what he knew and what he could do. Zaroff however relied on reason and his gun to kill Rainsford he never thought that a person who could reason would rely on instinct to save himself.

Its showing how the island acts as a ungoverned and lawful place is a blood twisting concept. First we see it when General Zaroff says "we try to be civilized here" on page 17. Another example is that When General zaroff said "i live for danger" on page 19. To be honest i think that it was well said but not directly told. In conclusion it was a intresting story.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best motif for "The Most Dangerous Game" is the color red. First, the author (Connell) refers to the color red many times in the book, like Zaroff's red lipped-smile, or the crushed patch of weeds "stained crimson". For example, on pg.14, "Rainsford falls into the blood warm waters surrounding the yacht," which, after reading the story, can foreshadow something unpleasant happening to him in the future. To be honest, I think this is a very good motif, because after reading the story the author does refer to the color red more than once. In conclusion, the color red is an amazing motif in "The Most Dangerous Game" due to all the reasons above.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that the island symbolizes an ungoverned region of fear is a thrilling concept. First, we get the sense that the island has a most chilling reputation when Whitney discusses his feeling of dread at the beginning of "The Most Dangerous Game." For example, on page 14, Whitney says, "We were drawing near the island then. What I felt was a--a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread." This indicates that the island puts off a negative vibe and fearful existence all on its own. To be honest, the island is your worst nightmare coming to life. Whatever fears you have built up inside will all be unleashed on the unruly island. The island is not just a region for the antagonist's disturbing hunt, it is also a place where your worst fears will come at you head on. In conclusion, an island as a pent up area of disturbing daydreams is most certainly a dangerous game.

I love the idea that the effects of war plays a part in 'The Most Dangerous Game.' First, both men have been in the war, have been exposed to the harshness of it. However, they both had different ideas of it. General Zaroff felt as though war in Crimea was one big hunt, as he had it a bit easier and led a cavalry rather than being up front (pg. 19). Rainsford, on the other hand, had been up close and personal with it. He dug himself a shelter to protect himself from gunfire in WWI (pg. 26). To be honest, it's a great theme. They both took their experiences differently.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme The Color Red plays a big role in "The Most Dangerous Game." First, this theme was shown on page 14, "The cry was pinched off short as the blood-warm waters of the Caribbean Sea closed over his head." To be honest, I thought this was an incredible theme to choose the fact that everything related to the color red gave me chills. In conclusion, I think The Color Red is a very good theme!

The idea that reason versus instinct is a reasonable concept. First, it displays that there is a difference between hunter and prey and human and animal. For example on page 20 it say that zaroff wanted the ideal animal to hunt but a human is not an animal therefore it is not acceptable. To be honest, i think that the theme ,reason versus instinct, is a great for this story. In conclusion, it is not noticeable that you to reason and have instinct i life.

The idea that the author makes the story so that there is no hunter/prey is an eyeopener concept. This was very true in the story because there really was no "prey". They were hunting for each other so neither were the prey. On page 16 Zaroff said that he hunts humans

The theme of the story makes the reader have to think whats the worst thing he could do. First the general had hunted humans for fun what can you do that is worse than that.

2. The Effects of War

The idea of the effects from war plays a part in both Rainsford and Zaroffs life. First off, Zaroff sees hunting as a modern example of war and states, " I refuse to believe that so modern and civilized a young man as you seem [...] . Surely your experiences in the war" on page 21. To be honest, I believe that war is a good concept. In life we all just hunt to survive in life. In conclusion, I feel that war is a good concept and contributes to hunting.

i believe that the author wanted the theme to make us search every dark corner of our mind and see what was hiding there which is exactly the theme of The Most Dangerous Game. it showed every dark corner there was that he could shine light into and write down on paper. and i think that he wanted to make is suspenseful, dark, and the scariest thing possible to not only make you think but to also make you look at the madness you hold and to not have it unleashed and out of control such as what happened to Zaroff. i have a feeling that the author wasn't only trying to show us what is bad about our inner madness but also to entertain and scare his readers.

The jungle

The jungle plays a important role in the story. It makes it harder to survive with the thick prickly bushes, easier to make traps , and all the irritating bugs biting at you are a huge distraction when trying to focus. For example on page 25, where Rainsford made a Malay man catcher. In my opinion, trying to hunt in a jungle would suck. I mean it would be hard to sleep with all the noise and scary dark figures, there's bugs everywhere, and with all the tall trees and dark green you could easily get lost. In conclusion the jungle is important to increase the difficulty of survival in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
2. The idea of the theme effects of war is an amazing concept.This theme was evident in the text because in Rainsford and Zaroffs battle either way one of them were going to get hurt. "Rainsford's impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther,but he saw the general's right hand held something metallic".To be honest this theme pertains to the story in many ways. For example Zaroff and Ivan were Cossacks.In conclusion they are both going to be affected by the war mentally or physically.

# data[].attributes.body
2. The idea that the effect from war is written in two very different stand points in this story is a very scary concept. To begin with, General Zarroff is a cossack, which makes him love war and the hunt. For example, "He is a Cossack, said the general, and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth, so am I." page 17. To be honest i think that this theme is a fantastic one. In conclusion, the effect of war has a big role in our theme and is fantastic how Connel shows this.

Reason versus Instinct

The idea that reason versus instinct is a very interesting concept of the story. This theme was first evident in the story at the beginning when Whitney was explaining to Rainsford about a feeling of dread she had while they were passing Ship-Trap Island. It is also evident when Rainsford is made the prey in General Zaroff's hunting game and has to rely some on instinct to survive. On page 25 Rainsford says to himself, "I will not lose my nerve. I will not," he is ignoring his instinct that told him to run away. To be honest, I thought that this concept made Rainsford understand the instinct and fear of the prey that he hunts feels. In conclusion, the concept reason versus instinct makes the plot interesting.

2 theme

The theme that war is a good concept. General zaroff was a cossack calver who commanded everyone and thought it was great cause cossacks were raised to enjoy causing harm to people. Rainsford however did not enjoy his tome in the war he was stuck on the front lines fighting like everybody else. pg 17 and 18 for examples .

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that the effect from war plays a huge roll in both sides of the protagonist and antagonist is a very chilling concept. First off, Zaroff does explain how he sees war as a contribution to his hunt. For example, "I refuse to believe that so modern and civilized a young man as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life. Surely your experiences in the war---," page 21. This quote from the general himself suggests that war has led him to believe that humanity has no real value, and that Rainsford should feel the same. On the other hand, Rainsford has different views. Rainsford's remark to Zaroff's quote was exactly the opposite of the antagonist's beliefs. "DId not make me condone coldblooded murder," pg. 21, Rainsford's remark to the general, suggests he has no belief that humans have no value in life. To be honest, being scarred by war is possible, but murdering others as the effect? I think it's bizarre. In conclusion, the effects of war do contribute in the concept of "The Most Dangerous Game."

General Zaroff

General Zaroff is a very creepy character in this story. To begin with, General Zaroff is giant which already makes him intimidating. For example, "The revolver pointed as rigidly as if the statue were a giant," found on page 16. Also, General Zaroff hunts humans which is a characteristic that is unheard of. In the story he says "My dear fellow, there is one you can hunt," found on page 20. In conclusion, General Zaroff is a character like no other.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the concept of the story is the idea of ones will to survive. Human instincts, per say. First, Rainsford devised a plan to survive, more then one in fact. For example, on page number twenty four Rainsford began running over his tracks multiple times to confuse the hunter of his whereabouts. Another example would be Rainsford making the trap with the hunting knife, and if that's not enough for you then building the large hole in the ground and drilling stakes into the earth in hopes of impaling his enemy to death, a failed attempt, yet still clever and cunning should be sufficient to support my claim-only skills you would use if you had the will to prevail.To be honest, I think the theme matched the plot of the story exceedingly well. In conclusion, I believe that "The Most Dangerous Game" had a theme related to survival, and what lengths a human will go to to protect themselves in a life or death situation-eat or be eaten, kill or be killed-that sort of thing.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea the color red plays a big roll in the story "The Most Dangerous Game" is a great concept. First, the writer lists details of the story that supports this theory. For example, on Pg 14 when the story says "The cry was pinched off short as the blood warm waters of the Caribbean Sea closed over his head" blood-warm is foreshadowing something bad will occur. To be honest, the outlook that red is a main part of this story, because of the descriptions of all the blood, is a fantastic way to think of it. In conclusion if red wasn't in TMDG, this story would not be nearly as exciting as it is.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea the the color red plays a big role in 'The Most Dangerous Game' is an interesting concept. First, the author describes many things with a shade of red. Blood-warm waters, crimson-stained, red-lipped, red borscht, etc. To be honest, I don't believe the fact that minor things like the color of the borscht or Zaroff's crimson sash mattered. Like, we get it, there's little hints of blood everywhere. I don't think the General's trying to show off his human killing skills by wearing red. In conclusion, the motif is a bit silly.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea in "TMDG" is that 'Reason vs. instinct' is very useful. First, Whitney claims that animals have feeling just like humans, while Rainsford says "The world is made up of two classes, the hunters and the huntees." (pg.14) Whitney has a reason that animals feel pain like humans, in which they do, yet Rainsford is just going by what he wants; his instinct. To be honest, I can agree more with Whitney. Animals have feelings just like any other living thing and I think that just because your instinct says to, doesn't mean your should. In conculsion, if somebody told you to jump off a cliff, would you ask for a reason? Or just by instinct?

!. Sanger Rainsford

Sanger Rainsford is a very witty character in "The Most Dangerous Game." First, Rainsford quickly whips up a Malay Mancatcher to try and kill Zaroff, proving he is a witty individual. For example, this happens on pg. 25 after Rainsford,"Stopped by a huge dead tree leaned precariously on a smaller living one." Also, Rainsford actually fought in WWI, proving where he learned these deadly trap ideas from. In conclusion, Rainsford is a tough and battle-smart individual, and I think positively about his awesome personality.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that effects of war is a theme for "The Most Dangerous Game" is great, because Rainsford and Zaroff remember their time during World War I completely different. First, Zaroff loved his time in the war because he was a Cossack Cavalry that could command everyone, while on the other hand Rainsford remembers the grueling and horrible hard times during his time in the war. For example, on pg.17, Zaroff smiles while telling Rainsford that he was a Cossack, as well as Ivan. To be honest, I think that this theme is a very good one, considering that Rainsford values human life, while Zaroff doesn't, and I truly do believe it is because of their completely different times in the war. In conclusion, effects of war is a great theme because without an angry Cossack running around on Ship-Trap island killing human men, this story would not be as good as it is.

With the way he grew up- wealthy, hunting, militarized- made him more twisted and mad in wanting to hunt. slowly he began to hunt bigger and bigger game and then he realised that he wanted to find an animal that could reason and possibly out whit him in the draw, and because of him killing these men and having a bloody good time with it he sinks more and more into the madness that is his mind. he is the one who makes this story come to life and creates the tone that i believe the author wanted people to fear about him as not only a character but as the perfect villan on the brink of madness.

He has been hunting since he was a little boy so he thinks animals are not a challenge unless they can fight back. So he carries on hunting everyone he can capture.

Sanger Rainsford

Cool, collected, experienced, an immovable object. Those are the words that come to mind when one thinks of Sanger Rainsford, the protagonist from Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game." Sanger's experience as a frontman in World War I and experience as an exotic big-game hunter gives him a cool head, even in near-death situations. It doesn't phase him much to swim for miles, to cut through dense jungle, or to fall off of a yacht. He has the capacity to look at any challenge like a win. Like a rock, he never falters, never gives. Coincidentally, though, still like a rock, if enough pressure is applied-- he will give. and that's what happens as the plot picks up momentum. We slowly see this bolder crack; Zaroff's murderous ways and obscure, volatile views about human life chipping away at the stone. By the time Zaroff gives more insight on the game that he plays, Sanger's hairline cracks begin to become more visible, more real. Like Schrodinger's cat, his 'cracks' seem to only be real when seen by others. Its not until Zaroff suggests that Rainsford 'hunt' with him that he breaks apart---- shining underneath is his discontentment, sparkling like the crystals inside a geode. Even though his previous conversation-making had only been a tad spotty, by what the General reckoned to be the beginning of their night, Sanger called it an end. He retreated to bed; claiming an all-too-real nausea. His coolness is still diffused by the morning, as he asks Zaroff right away if he could leave the island. Zaroff complies-- but under the condition that, once again, Sanger 'hunt' with him. It was that, or it was torture by Ivan-- Zaroff's (fellow) Cossack servant. The obvious answer is to risk it all-- and this is also where the turning point begins. Sanger's nerve comes back, bit by bit, the cracks in the stone are glued back together. He sets up multiple traps, each hitting a mark. One hurts Zaroff, one kills one of his ravenous hounds, and one kills Ivan. Sanger's nerve, his coolness and collectivity, shine in a moment of pure bravery as he jumps out to sea to escape the island. The sea is populated by the sharpest of rocks, enough to sink a ship. (pg27) Zaroff presumes the man to be dead, after all-- no one's survived the razors in the blue. He heads off to bed after some hours, disappointed with the outcome... Only to find Rainsford in his window. Rainsford's star qualities are back to full bore, and he returns to an immovable object. He kills Zaroff on the spot, never cracking or faltering, once more. (pg 28)

General Zaroff is an extremely disturbing character in "The Most Dangerous Game." First, he hunts humans and kill them for fun. For example, "Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if needed be, taken by the strong." page 21, shows that General Zaroff has a low value on human life if they are not what he decides are strong.

1. Sanger Rainsford

Rainsford is a very brave character in "The Most Dangerous Game." Rainsford is brave because he calmly takes on the frightening challenge of being on Ship-Trap Island. For example, when Zaroff begins hunting Rainsford does everything he can to win the hunt, "Rainsford took his knife from its sheath and began to work with all his energy," pg. 25. I thought it was interesting that Rainsford was able to build amazing hunting tools, like the Malay mancatcher, which claimed one of Zaroff's dogs. Rainsford was very smart and outwitted the General at his own game.

2. Theme

The idea that instinct and reason are mutually exclusive is wrong. First, we see this with Whitney and Rainsford, "[...] I rather think they understand one thing-fear [...]" pg. 14. Whitney suggests that the Jaguars not only act on instinct, but reason with the fear they feel when they are being hunted. To be honest, I agree with Whitney, and I think that humans and animals act on reason and instinct. In conclusion, Rainsford uses reason and instinct to survive his nights on the island with Zaroff.

The jungle serves as a cover of Zaroff's hunts to the outside world, concealing it. First, we see how covered the island is by Rainsford, "He saw no sign of a trail through the closely knit web of weeds and trees; it was easier to go along the shore," pg.16. I think the jungle was wild and scary, and chaotic.

General Zaroff is quite the antagonist. He seems to be a bit of a psychopath. For example, he hunts humans as if lives were a game. His wealthy backround allows him to be this way. Zaroff is terrifying.

Sanger Rainsford is a very experienced character is "The Most Dangerous Game." Rainsford is really brave in the short story because he has faced many near death experiences, yet he seems to pull it off. For example, " I am still a beast at bay," page 28, this quote shows that Rainsford is very brave and vicious. Also. Rainsford seems to be very ruthless about killing General Zaroff, which surprises me because he just murdered the guy. In the end, Rainsford, competitive and vibrant he is, was very important to this story and how he portrays things.

He faces many near death experiences, such as falling off the yacht into the water or almost getting stabbed to death by Zaroff.

The thing that also caught my eye about Rainsford is how ruthless he was about killing Zaroff. Then what really surprised me is that he actually went and slept on the bed. In conclusion, Rainsford is a very strong, intelligent, skilled guy who is ready for any type of fight even if its a life or death situation.

1. General Zaroff

General Zaroff is a very challenging character in "The Most Dangerous Game." First, his mannerism and well-educated vocabulary makes him more of a remarkable character , despite his knowledge of death seen as a game. For example, "Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if need be, taken by the strong," pg, 21, shows how General Zaroff feels for humanity and the dispute of life and death. Also, Zaroff is picky over his game. Many times does he spot his quarry in the hunt and holds the real hunting until day three. He is reeling for a challenge, and a challenge he will get. In conclusion, General Zaroff is a most interesting, vile, and mind-boggling antagonist I have ever come across.
