I found your comment about " The Color Red" very interesting. First i agree completely with what you said. Furthermore, i think you are correct in saying that red is very important to the story. Also i agree that red plays a big role in this story. In conclusion your response toward " The Color Red" was 100% accurate.

The idea " The Jungle", as a symbol is reasonable. First the jungle is where General Zaroff calls home, and he knows it better than anyone. For example on page 20 Raisnford says, " hunting? Good god General Zaroff , what you speak of is murder." To be honest i think this symbol makes perfect sense in relation to the story. In conclusion the jungle is where most of the story takes place

@Riley Druia

I found your comment "The color red can help you make inferences on the story" to be very truthful. I completely agree with you about "The color red is a very significant color in the story The Most Dangerous Game" because it is mentioned through out the book and refers to General Zaroff. Furthermore, the color red in my opinion refereed to all the rampage, struggle and bloodshed. In conclusion, your responce to the color red was accurate and I concur with your responce.

The idea of a jungle is a great way of knowing who General Zaroff really is. When I think of a jungle I think of General Zaroff way of thinking because it is a dark, gloomy place where unexpected, crazy things happen. For example on page 21 the general says "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." shows the wicked, twisted, crazy mindset he has obtained about the value of life. To be honest, the General has a mindset focused around himself believing he is the king of the jungle. To conclude, the jungle symbolizes the Generals thought process.

The idea that Reason Vs. Instinct is an excellent theme for the story "The Most Dangerous Game" in many ways. To begin with, the theme was shown by other sailors who were trapped on the island, by instinct they ran straight through the forest making it easy to be trapped. For example, on page 24, "Ill give him a trail to follow, muttered Rainsford, and he struck off from the rude paths he had been following into the trackless wilderness", this shows how Rainsford uses his reason to protect himself from General Zaroff. In my honest opinion, to sum up the story Reason Vs. Instinct explains all of the conflict that happens in the story. To conclude, the theme Reason Vs. Instinct is a perfect definition of the story "The Most Dangerous Game".

I found your comment "his smile showed his red lips and pointed teeth..." was great example of the color red effects in this story. First i agree the color red does make an effect in the story. Furthermore, i believe you also did a remarkable job with your entire paragraph. Also, i would like to say you did great on finding text in the story and directly corillating it to the motif. In conclusion your paragraph was a well rounded and well thought out piece of work.

the idea that that the jungle represents General Zaroffs crazy mind is a great and clever concept. First, this symbol is is rater easy to notice to spot because the jungle is wild, unexpected, and really crazy just like Zaroffs mind. For example when rainsford found that swamp in the corner of the island it through him for a loop like when Rainsford found out what Zaroff hunts. To be honest i found the jungle concept interesting because not everybody would be able to make that connection. In conclusion the jungle representing Zaroffs mind is interesting symbol and is a clever connection

I found you're comment "[...] even though the color red is found in some of the most harmless things in the story, seeing that much red in a story is usually not a very good sign." to be similar to my opinion. First, I agree that red is just a typical "scary movie", creepy, violent color. Furthermore, the color red foreshadows bad things to come. Also, the simple repeating of the word can hint at bad signs. In conclusion, you're response about the color red was very agreeable.

@Skyler French

I found your comment " [...] his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth." true. First, I don't think someone is going to have red lips and pointed and be a very nice person like a vampire.

The idea "The Jungle" is a symbol is reasonable. First, this is where General Zaroff "lives" because he is always in the jungle hunting humans for fun. For example, on page 20 "Hunting? Good God, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder." In conclusion, The Jungle is the main setting and symbol of "The Most Dangerous Game".

I found your comment, "[...]General Zaroff wouldn't have been able to carry out his Game[...] to be true.  I agree with this statement because General Zaroff wouldn't have any privacy.  People could walk up and see or hear things and go to the police.  Also, Zaroff's "prey" wouldn't have any boundaries to keep themselves from running away.  In conclusion, your response about the symbol, the island, was well thought and desc

I found you comment about the jungle being an important concept to the story absolutely true. First, I agree that the jungle is where all the sick,twisted ideas take place. Furthermore, the jungle is the place in which all of the hunts take place and it is a very important detail in the story. Also, I agree with your comment about the jungle being somewhere where General Zaroff has a challenge when hunting.In conclusion, your response about the jungle being somewhere for a challenge and being important to the story a very well explained concept and a useful factor in understanding the story

I found your comment about General Zaroff being a twisted man absolutely true.

I agree that he is a very evil man and a delusional murderer.

Furthermore, I agree with General Zaroff's version of 'fun' being sick and wrong.

Also, i think it's very creepy and psychotic how he kills humans for the 'fun of the hunt.'

In conclusion, your response about Zaroff being very creepy and twisted makes perfect sense with this story, and it fits his personality and overall appearance perfectly.

The idea that the color red is a very clever concept in the story. First, the color red is seen story and in most of the important parts. like the crimson sash on Ivan and the red borscht soup served in the beginning. For example, on page 17, it reads, "[...] his smile showed his red lips and pointed teeth [...]"that shows that the color red is every where from the food to describing a character.To be honest, even though the color red is found in some of the most harmless things in the story, seeing that much red in a story is usually not a very good sign.In conclusion, the color red is a very common color in the story showing the odd or strange factor the story will have.

# data[].attributes.body
The motif, "the color red" is a very good tool that can be used to foreshadow what will happen later on in the story.  Firstly, red was brought up in the description of the "blood-warm water" and General Zaroff. For example, on page 17 the author writes, "[...]his smile showed his red lips and pointed teeth[...]" my opinion is that the color red is very important to the story. In conclusion, the motif made "The Most Dangerous Game" a descriptive and life like short story.

@Ashley Michilli

I found your comment, "I think the color red is a great motif for this story, as well as a great foreshadowing tool," to be a very good way to look at that. First, I agree that using to color red at the beginning of the story foreshadows the rest of the story. Furthermore, I think the author used red to show the creepiness of General Zaroff. Also, the color red sets the mood the author makes. In conclusion, your response about the color red being a great foreshadowing tool was very clever.

@Jade Maluchnik

I found your comment "{...} the color red highlighted the blood and violence in the story {...}" to be very true to the story. First, I agree that using the color red, and especially tying it to General Zaroff, helps bring the violence to life. Furthermore, the red in the story, mostly tying back to Zaroff, highlights how evil, twisted, and insane he truly is. Also, I agree that using terms, such as, "blood-warm waters" adds suspense in the story, and gives the allusion that something bad will soon happen. In conclusion your response about the color red adding suspense to the story was used to describe Generaal Zaroff as a twisted man

The idea that the island is where no laws govern the human discourse is a plausible concept. First, this symbol shows when Whitney feels a sudden mental chill when passing by the island. For example, we see
"I felt a sudden chill," on page 14. To be honest, I thought the author did a very good job at describing the suspense the island makes you feel. In conclusion, I feel that the island is so spooky is because of the lives lost there.

The Jungle is an important concept. First, the jungle is where all of General Zaroff's "pupils' go to be hunted, and also where all of his sick twisted ideas take place. For example on page 22, "'I suggest to one of them that we go hunting {...} If my quarry eludes me for three whole days, he wins the game. If I find him {...} he loses.'" To be honest "' {...} the island is perfect for my purposes {...}'", as stated by General Zaroff because it provides him with a challenge in findin his quarry. In conclusion the island plays an important role in the setting of "The Most Dangerous Game".

I found your comment , "His lack of control slows his progress [...] " to be very interesting. First, I agree with what you said. Furthermore, I agree with your statement because it makes so much since how if someone lacks control then it slows his progress; Rainsford did just lack and his lack of control cost him big time because if he didn' t lack control then he probably would have been able to work faster on his traps and might have been able to not be noticed by General Zaroff. Also, I just adore how well you desribed this topic; it was so eye catching. In conclusion, your response about how the jungle was a physical representation of the characters minds: i found to be very clever and well explained

The idea that the color red is a very important concept. Firstly, I find this to be true because the color red is mentioned so many times in this story and whenever it is mentioned, it is never a good sign. For example, on page 17, it says," [....] his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth." i dont really know what the author is trying to tell us but it doesnt sound good to me. To be honest, i really didn't know what the author was trying to say by desribing lots of things by saying red, but i know now. In conclusion, i never realized how important the word red is to the story.

I found your comment "The jungle is an appropriate concept for the Generals complex psyche." to be a good observation.

First, I agree about the General and the Jungle being the same, they're both crazy.

Furthermore, the jungle has definitely had an impact on General Zaroff, in a very bad way.

Also, I like the way you worded things, to describe him and the jungle.

In conclusion, your response about the jungle and the General being the same was very interesting and true.

I think the color red is a great motif for this story.

First, this Motif was evident in the story, like when General Zaroff was talking to Rainsford in the house.

For example, on page 18, it says "he was smiling his curious red-lipped smile."

To be honest, when we first read the story i didn't notice how much the word red was used, till i read it again.

In conclusion, "red" is a very important word used in this story.

The idea that the jungle played a important part in the story"The Most Dangerous Game" is a very true concept. The jungle is both Rainsford's sanctuary and prison in the story. Rainsford uses the jungle's large supply of materials to make traps and hiding spots. To be honest I saw the jungle as Rainsford's slim chance of escape through out the story. In conclusion, I think that the jungle plays a very important part in the most dangerous game.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that the island is a valid concept in "The Most Dangerous Game" is correct. First of all, if this was on land that was known by the government, General Zaroff wouldn't have been able to carry out the "game" that he played because it is illegal. For example on page 21 General Zaroff tells Rainsford that "It's in the cellar. I have about a dozen pupils down there" which he wouldnt be able to do without being on the island.

I found your comment "I think the jungle represents how sick and twisted Zaroff's brain is as well" to be a really good use of imagery. First, I agree with what you said because General Zaroff's brain is twisted and they are in a jungle. Furhtermore, a jungle is usually messy/tangled. Also, I liked your use of the word "wrap" because it also relates to the jungle theme. In conclusion, your response about the jungle was very creative and showed good imagery.

@Micheal Hayden

I felt the comment "humans are able to step back and look at the bigger picture[...]" is not true in life or death situations like Rainsford was in. Furthermore Rainsford tries to chase the boat before heading for land it takes him a little while to realize he won't make it. Also if you only have a short amount of time to think most people will rely on instinct to help get them more time. In conclusion, yes, people do use reason when they can, in dire situations people will almost always use instinct

# data[].attributes.body
I think the color "Red" is a great motif for this story, as well as a great foreshadowing tool. First, Rainsford falls into blood warm waters and this whole story involves blood-shed and crimson redness from the wounded. As on page 14 it says "The cry was pinched off short as the blood-warm waters of the Caribbean Sea closed over his head.", and on page 24 it reads that Ivan has "[...] his right hand rested on a cocked revolver thrust in the crimson sash around his waist." which right there shows death. To be quite truthful I think the author Richard Connell did a really good job on choosing "Red" as a motif in this story. In conclusion, "Red" is good at revealing or foreshadowing events that will soon happen in this story.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that the jungle is wild and chaotic which shows Zaroff's chaos and psyche is an intelligent observation. I first noticed this when Rainsford pulled himself up over the sharp edges of the island. For example, on page 15, it says, "Jagged crags appeared to jut out into the opaqueness. [...] tangle of trees and underbrush [...]." Honestly, this symbol is related clearly to the context of the story and it adds to the eerie-ness of the story. In conclusion, the jungle shows how crazy Zaroff is, because the jungle is wild itself. Zaroff's land represents himself.

The idea that the jungle is actually the physical representation of the characters minds is a clever concept. First, when Rainsford first wakes upon the island the jungle impedes his progress during the "hunt" shows how his lack of control slows his progress and worsens his predicament. For example, on page #24 we see Rainsford struggle to navigate the dense jungle.To be honest, This is very easy to miss but is very true at the same time. In conclusion, the jungle is very much the mind off the characters.

The jungle is an appropriate concept for the Generals complex psyche. First, the jungle was evident in the text when the General had informed him of their soon hunt, much like the hunt in the Generals twisted mind, the jungle was complicated as well. For example, on page 24 Rainsford was released into it, "Rainsford had fought through the bush for two hours." To be honest i thought this concept was rather correct, the jungle symbolized the craziness of the Generals mind. In conclusion, the jungle and the General were much of the same.

@Micheal Hayden I found your comment" The color red was evident every time it referred to the general..." to be quite accurate. First, I agree about the fact that read permeates the idea of blood, violence, and death. Furthermore, in any situation when you think of violence or death you automatically think of blood. Also, I think you did a good job describing the situations in the story. In conclusion, your response about Motif was very accurate.

I found your opinion "I think the jungle represents how sick and twisted Zaroff's brain is" to be a good comparison to the two.

Also I thought it was clever to use wrap as a comparison to keep you reading the story and the jungle

The idea that the color red highlighted the blood and violence in the story is a very suitable concept.

First, using the color red helps bring the violence and suspense in the story to life, and it is foreshadowing the hunt and how Zaroff kills humans.

For example, on page 17 the author makes sure to interpret violence into the way Zaroff smiles by using the word 'red' in saying that "his smiles showed red lips and pointed teeth."

To be honest, i think using the color 'red ' and making references such as "blood-warm water" makes this story truly come to life.

In conclusion, "The Most Dangerous Game" comes together very well with the idea and references to blood and violence.

The motif darkness is a very interesting one due to how often it is mentioned in the story. First, all over the book it talked about the suffocating blackness and velvety darkness. For example, on page 14, Rainsfrd speaks aboout how "[...] I could sleep without closing my eyes; the night would be my eyelids[...]. To be honest, I thought this was the most obvious motif in the story. In conclusion darkness is a very interesting and amazing motif.

The idea that "The Color Red" is a good concept. First when Rainsford falls into the water, he describes the water to be "bloodwarm". For example we see on page 17, " his smile showed his red lips and pointed teeth". To be honest this motive was very descriptive and gave me a lot of details. In conclusion, reading this motif could make me picture the details in my head.

The idea that effects of war is a reasonably concept for the theme of the story. For example on pg. 17 we find out that the owner off the island is a general and from pg.18 we find out he is a very successful hunter.

I think that "Darkness" is a clever concept. First, when Rainsford and Whitney are on the yacht, they are discussing the darkness of the night out at sea. For example, on page 14 when Rainsford is close to falling asleep on the deck, "[...] the night would be my eyelids." To be honest, a lot of this story is dark, not just in the lighting. In conclusion, the eyelid-like nights contributed to making the concept of "Darkness" fit into the story.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that effects of war is a interesting theme for the story. First Rainsford talks about how much more nervous he was hunting with General Zaroff than he was in the war. For example on page 26 where he said " Rainsford had dig himself in in France, when a seconds delay meant death. That had been a placid pastime compared to his digging now." To be honest this is a great theme for the story. In conclusion Rainsford does a great job connecting to his effects of war.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that the color red shows violence is an acceptable concept. First, it appears when Rainsford falls off the yacht into the "blood warm waters" of the Carribean. For example, on page 17, it says that General Zaroff has a " red lip and pointed teeth" smile. To be honest, I didn't think that "red" would signifie anything. in conclusion I think the word red is used to show how much blood is shed on the island by General Zaroff.

# data[].attributes.body
'The Color Red' is a relevant concept because if you think about it, the author makes a lot of items red in the story. First, the author says that a part of Ivan's uniform is crimson. Also, walking up to the castle, Rainsford noticed blood. For example, on page 17, the author says "They were eating borscht, the rich red soup [...]." To be honest, while reading the story, I didn't notice many uses of the color red, but reading the motif made me notice it a lot better. In conclusion, the author uses the color red to symbolize blood and what might happen if you stay with General Zaroff and Ivan (not good things).

# data[].attributes.body
The idea "the effects of war" is a good concept. First of all, Zaroff talks about how him and Ivan were in the war, and how he also commanded a cossack calvery. Also how zaroff doesn't even care about the feelings of the humans in this story. on page 21 he says "its a game you see." To be honest i think war is a terrible thing, I hate the war just thinking about people losing their lives for our rights is amazing but scary. In conclusion it became fun for general Zaroff but a "war" for many others.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that the color red is a bloody concept. First they were eating with red soap. For example "One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds." on pg.28 is a good example of a bloody situation. To be honest I thought the color red was significant to the story showing traits of the general. I conclusion the color red is important to the story in many ways.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that effects of war is a usable concept. First both of our main characters have experience in war/combat. For example on page 26 we see, "Rainsford had dug himself in in France." To be honest i think Rainsford's whole outlook on the respect of life changed. In conclusion I think Rainsford's military and hunting background significantly helped him in the game and kept him alive.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that war affected the characters is a reasonable concept. First of all, Rainsford would not of had his views about how hunting is okay if it weren't for his war, life or death experiences. For example, we see on page 14 Rainsford tells Whitney "The world is made up of two classes- the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters." To be honest, this book would probably be pointless without the fact that at the start Rainsford didn't care about killing animals. In conclusion, without the lesson or change of view Rainsford had, the story would not feel complete.

# data[].attributes.body
The color red is an interesting motif because the color red permeates the idea of blood, violence, and death. The color red was evident every time it referred to the general with his red lipped smile.The motif of the color red was shown on page 17 when the general smiles at rainsford with his "red" lips. My opinion is that the color red is probably one of the best motifs for this story.I think that the color red is a good motif for this story because now when hear the name of this story think of death and violence, and the color red.

The idea that reason vs instinct is in "The Most Dangerous game is a very interesting concept. Through out most of the second half of the story we see protagonist Rainsford struggling with reason vs instinct as he runs and tries to out wit General Zaroff. "I will give him a trail to follow," muttered Rainsford, page 24. To be honest I think that this is an execlent concept, especially because the story revolves around the hunter turned prey, Rainsford. In conclusion I believe that reason vs instinct is a very interesting and useful concept.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that reason vs. instinct is a very well interpreted concept. First, this was evident when Rainsford was first being hunted by General Zaroff. For example, on page 27, "'Nerve, nerve, nerve!' he panted, as he dashed along. {...} Rainsford forced himself on toward that gap. He reached it. It was the shore of the sea. {...} Rainsford hesitated. He heard the hounds. Then he leaped far out in to the sea..." To be perfectly honest, reason is how people coexist, if we acted off of instinct living together would not even be close to safe. In conclusion, reason vs. confict is a very relevant topic in the story "The Most Dangerous Game."

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that the jungle represents General Zaroff is an interesting concept. First, in the story it says how Rainsford can't get through the tangled mess on his way to finding General Zaroff's home. For example, "He saw no sign of a trail through the closely knit web of weeds and trees; it was easier to go along the shore." To be honest, I think the jungle represents how sick and twisted Zaroff's brain is as well. In conclusion I think the author used Zaroff's jungle to "wrap" us into the story.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that Reason vs. Instinct is an excellent theme for the story "The Most Dangerous Game" in many ways. To begin with, the theme was shown by other sailors who were trapped on the island, by instinct they ran straight through the forest making it easy to be traced. For example, on page

# data[].attributes.body
The idea "the effects of war" is a great theme for the story "The Most Dangerous Game." First we can see that the war effected Zaroff's views on the value of human life. We can see this in the story "Life is for the strong, and if need be, taken by the strong. The week of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure." pg:21 T be honest i do think that the war has an awful effect on today's society. In the war many lives are taken, and unfortunately becomes a habit for some, for Zaroff it became a game.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that effects of war experiences is a theme is an interesting proposition. First, Zaroff talks about he and Ivan are cossacks, and how he commanded a cossack cavalry. For example, on page number one, Zaroff says," [...] for a time commanded a cossacks cavalry, but my real interest was the hunt. Zaroff suggests that war was just a passing of time, while on page 26, Rainsford talks about digging holes in France with no tools or help. In conclusion, the theme experience of war is a very intriguing and excellent theme.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of the effects of war is a key concept in "The Most Dangerous Game." First, General Zaroff doesn't believe in the value of human life. For example, on page 20 we see, "Hunting? Good God, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder." In my opinion, war has very different effects on different people. In conclusion, without the theme "The effect of war" the story "The Most Dangerous Game " wouldn't make as much sense.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that reason vs. conflict is an awesome concept. Firstly, General Zaroff reveals himself to be more animal than human in this story because he is pretty much saying in this story that people are no different from any other living things when it comes to hunting. For example, on page 20, after Zaroff tells Rainsford that he hunts human, and after Rainsford replies," Hunting? Good God, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder." Then Zaroff laughs at that like he doesn't even care that he kills humans. In conclusion, Zaroff is a wicked man thats receives pleasure from hunting down his own species

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that 'reason verses concept' goes with this story perfectly.

First, this theme is evident in the story because everyone usually goes with their instinct, and uses it for survival.

Foe example, on page 21 when General Zaroff is talking about hunting humans he says it gives him pleasure because they can reason, so they are more dangerous and fun to hunt.

To be honest, i think this theme applies to everyone in real life because it can help us to realize that people aren't better than others, and we all depend on instinct.

In conclusion, this story and theme suit each other very well and come together to make a creepy and suspenseful tale.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that reason vs. instinct is a great concept for the story. First animals use more of instinct. reason is something that us as humans are better at. For example on page 14 when rainsford falls off the boat he insticntively wants to scream but his reason tells him theres no point. To be honest I probably would have just kept yelling and hope someone would hear me. In conclusion i think that animals use more instinct then reason and humans are the opposite.

The idea that the expirence of war affected how characters valued human life is a note worthy concept. The fact that Zaroff viewed the war as an annoyence and because off this devalued human life. For example, on page #17, we see Zaroff scorn Rainsford for valuing human life highly. To be honest I think this point is exaggerated,but very valid. In conclusion, the effect war has on a humans ideals is the whole basis of this story.

Reason v.s instinct, is an exciting concept about the story. Pg 14, For example when Rainsford jumped for his pipe but then fell off, that was his instinct. To be honest i thought the theme was creative that Rainsford probably has a change in opinions about hunting now. In conclusion i think " The Most Dangerous Game" was a great story that connected the theme very good to the story in that instinct and reason had a big role in it.

The theme of reason vs. instinct perfectly fits the story and is an interesting concept. First, Rainsford argues that animals shows and have no fear when they are being hunted. On page 14 is a great example as to what Rainsford thinks; "'[...] Who cares how a jaguar feels?' 'Perhaps the Jaguar does,' observed Whitney. 'Bah! They have no understanding.' 'Even so, I rather think they understand one thing-- fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death.' 'Nonsense,' laughed Rainsford.". To be honest I think, which Rainsford learns the hard way, that any living being who feels in danger will do anything to survive as long as they can, using instinct. In conclusion, reason vs. instinct is a great theme for this story that not only teaches that instinct is in us all, but shows that reason doesn't always save us in war of life.

The idea that reason vs. instinct is a very good concept that goes with the story perfectly. First, the concept fits very well into the hunting scenes in which General Zaroff hunts after Rainsford. For example, on page 24, " he made his way along with his eyes fixed in utmost concentration on the ground before him.". To be honest, when you are hunting, you are concentrating on everything around you, and if your being hunted, you are concentrated on not being found.In conclusion, the concept of reason vs. instinct found throughout the hunting of General Zaroff for Rainsford.

The idea that reason vs. instinct is a great concept.

First, the concept goes very well with this story. Before Rainsford gets hunted, he says that animals don't really feel frightened when they're being hunted. As he gets hunted though, he realizes it is a very scary thing.

For example, on page 28, Rainsford finds out that humans actually do make it an interesting hunt.

To be honest, I liked this theme because it made the story much more interesting to read, a human was in an animals spot.

In conclusion, reason vs. instinct was like when Rainsford was being hunted.

The idea that "Effects of War" is an accurate concept. First, this theme showed in the text when Rainsford dug a pit that he did in France during World War I. For example, on page 26 we see that Rainsford had experience before with a life and death scenario. To be honest, I believe that war can have lasting effects on someone, either survival or violence instincts. In conclusion, both Rainsford and General Zaroff show the effects of war, but in complete opposite ways.

The idea that reason vs. instinct fits the story perfectly. First, instinct always is something that we do without thinking and sometimes it might be the wrong thing to do. For example, on page 18 "Rainsford had dug himself in in France' when a seconds delay meant death." He could have just ran up a tree and hid ,but he reasoned to dig traps and slow down the General. To be honest, I think General Zaroff reasons more then instinct because he let Rainsford live in some occasions. In conclusion, the theme reason vs. instinct shows how Rainsford beat the General in the "hunting"

i think reason vs instinct is a good theme, because it shows how Whitney is right. First, reason is used more often by humans. next, animals use instinct to get what they need, while humans reason the best way to do something. For example on page 26, it says, "Rainsford called the general, if you are within the sound of my voice, as i suppose you are, let me congratulate you. not many men know how to make a maylay mancatcher," rainsford uses reason to decide how to stop Zaroff even if it didnt work. To be honest, i didn't think rainsford would win, but he used reason to stop him. In conclusion, reason will always beat out instinct.

I think that the reason vs instinct is a good theme for the story. First, the author uses it to make Rainsford and General Zaroff hunt each other. He's using Rainsford as a prey as if he were the animal that Zaroff was hunting. Rainsford had also said that "animals instinctively fear things" to Whitney. Throughout the story, Rainsford realizes how animals feel while being hunted, as Rainsford is someone else's prey. To be honest, I think this theme is really good and it shows the different points of views from what an animal would feel and a human. In conclusion, The Most Dangerous Game" has realization and instinct by showing how the characters feel.

The idea that effects of war are an acceptable concept. First, this was evident in the text when Zaroff speaks good naturedly of being a Cossac. For example, on page 17 Zaroff says," He is a Cossack," said the general, and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth. " So am I." To be honest I thought the theme was a little weird. In conclusion, I think that because General Zaroff was a soldier he thought killing humans was acceptable.

The idea that reason vs instinct is great concept for the story. First, Sanger Rainsford claims that animals don't fear things, and in the end comes his realization. For example, "You're a big game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels." To be honest, if something had a brain and nerves, they have feelings. In conclusion, Rainsford claims the "animal" being hunted doesn't fear, when in the end he is being hunted and feels fear.

The idea that reason and instinct can work together is a great concept. First Rainsford falls of the boat and his instinct tells him to yell while reason tells him not to chase the boat. For example "he wrestles himself out of his cloths and shouts with all of his might."page 15. To be honest i think if instinct and reason can work together people would be a lot better in tight situations. In conclusion this theme matches the story perfectly.

The idea that Reason vs Instinct is a reasonable concept for this story. First, the author uses this when he decides to have Zaroff hunt Rainsford, Rainsford must choose Reasoning, or instinct. For example, on page 26 when the General had informed him he would be getting the dogs, Rainsford had to act quickly, "Rainsford could do one of two things. He could stay where he was and wait. That was suicide. He could flee." To be honest, I think Rainsford relied on his instinct, and the General mostly relied on reason, or what he thought to be reasonable. In conclusion, Reason vs Instinct was a concept used throughout the story, often by both characters.

The idea that reason verses instinct is a unique concept. First, I think it is a great theme for the story because Rainsford doesn't use instincts to help him, he uses his mind to reason with himself over what he should do to trap General Zaroff. For example, on page 20 we see that General Zaroff says "Everyday I hunt, and I never grow bored now, for I have a quarry with which I can match my wits." To be honest, I think the theme fits the story perfectly. In conclusion, I still think that hunting animals is better than hunting humans, even if animals only have instinct.

The idea of the "Effects of war,' is a concept that suits this story perfectly. First, we see this theme come into play when Zaroff and Rainsford start hunting. For example, on page 24 the writer shows us that Sanger Rainsford remembered strategies like when he created a difficult trail to follow, so that he could hide from Zaroff. To be honest, this theme makes me believe that the effects of war on Rainsford are what allowed him to make it out alive. In conclusion, this theme, for me, connects the dots explaining how Rainsford knew to make all of those traps.

The idea that reason vs instinct is a concept that goes with this story very well. Humans tend to try to reason with fear to not be scared. First, the author used it to get General Zaroff to hunt Rainsford. For example, on page 23, we see that Rainsford tries to reason with General Zaroff. Zaroff relies on the idea of playing his game as the only way to get off the island. Zaroff says, "But may I not venture to suggest that you will find my idea of sport more diverting than Ivan's?" meaning that death or getting hunted are the only options. Rainsford believes that "animals instinctively fear things." He's being the animal getting hunted now so he has the instinct of fear too. To be honest, this theme is clever and played out from the first dialogue. In conclusion, the theme reason vs instinct shows Rainsford's own opinions from the beginning playing back on himself later in the story.

I think that reason vs instinct is a good theme for the story is because they are two very different things. First, instinct is something that animals use more than humans i think. Next, reason is something that humans rely on and not instinct, humans are able to step back and look at the bigger picture of what is happening and not just jump straight to instinct. For an example on pg. 20 when Rainsford and Zaroff are talking about the new animal he has "imported", Rainsford asks "what are the attributes of the ideal quarry?" Then Zaroff says " it must have courage, cunning, and above all it must be able to reason" then rainsford objects and says no animal can reason and then finds out he means humans. I believe the theme is a good compare and contrast between reason and instinct. In conclusion this is the perfect theme for TMDG as it compares a trait from an animal and a human.

The idea that 'Reason versus instinct" is an interesting concept. First, General Zaroff doubts Rainsford as a hunter with reasoning that Rainsford seem sensitive towards the thing he hunts. At the end General Zaroff is proven wrong by Rainsford that he is not the best hunter. For example General Zaroff says '" To date I have not lost". To be honest I'm glad that Rainsford did what he did, he not only proved Zaroff wrong he killed this inhumane person.

Sanger Rainsford is a very intelligent character. First, he is just a well rounded hunter who knows very much about hunting. For example on pg.27 when he was rushing to think of ways to get away from General Zaroff he remembers a old trick he learned in Uganda and he could very quickly set the trap is quite remarkable. Also, Rainsford smart enough to try through off the general with difficult traps like on pg. 24. In conclusion is a really intelligent guy, and he has a great hunting instinct.

General Zaroff is a very Disturbed character in " The Most Dangerous Game". First of all He has no respect for life other than his own. For example Zaroff started to hunt at a very young age, and the first animals he killed was some of his "father's prize turkeys."pg 19. Also he puts other people below himself like he is some kind of god over them. In conclusion General Zaroff is a sick minded crazy person who hunts his own kind.
