Rainsford causes Zaroff to see a fun opportunity to “hunt” alongside him, but is disappointed when he refuses to shoot at men. Zaroff has fun “hunting” Rainsford, but both he and Ivan are eventually killed in their attempt to kill Rainsford.]]> 2017-10-10 16:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cngo111/3ow3wiykxz7d/wish/195701819 Thoughts cngo111 https://padlet.com/cngo111/3ow3wiykxz7d/wish/195701944 At the beginning of the story, Rainsford believes that he is superior to animals, saying to Whitney “You’re a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?” (Connell) He is appalled to find that Zaroff “hunts” people, and when Zaroff starts “hunting” him, he thinks of many ways to trap the general, including a malay mancatcher and burmese tiger pit.]]> 2017-10-10 16:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cngo111/3ow3wiykxz7d/wish/195701944 Actions cngo111 https://padlet.com/cngo111/3ow3wiykxz7d/wish/195702539 Rainsford uses his wits and quickly gets out of the quicksand. He also makes traps for General Zaroff and ends up killing Ivan in one of them. From these actions, you can interpret that Rainsfords is very smart and has great survival skills. After the end of the hunt, Rainsford goes to the general’s house and has the final battle with Zaroff. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cngo111/3ow3wiykxz7d/wish/195702539 Direct Characterization cngo111 https://padlet.com/cngo111/3ow3wiykxz7d/wish/195702645 “Thank you, I’m a hunter, not a murderer.”

Throughout the entire story, he created many traps and plans to avoiding Zaroff. He never understood how animals felt when hunted, however he finally understood the life of an animal while being hunted himself. He gained animal instincts and blended with his surroundings. Ultimately in the end, he had a final face off with General Zaroff and won. ]]> 2017-10-12 03:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cngo111/3ow3wiykxz7d/wish/196270337 Words cngo111 https://padlet.com/cngo111/3ow3wiykxz7d/wish/196280010 "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher.
