Evidence: For example, General Zaroff explained that because he was born into a rich status, he has the right to be able to hunt those of a lower status to him, so therefore he becomes the hunter while Rainsford is forced to become the hunted.]]> 2021-01-21 20:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethstallings1/7ovuv2xxjg3br022/wish/1111921757 https://padlet.com/elizabethstallings1/7ovuv2xxjg3br022/wish/1111921945 Claim: In the story, "the Dangerous Game", it displays a series of hunting, without demonstraing the value of life. Throughout the story, Connell protrays the importance in human life.

Evidence: For instance in the story Connell writes "I can't believe you are serious, General Zaroff. This is a grisly joke.""Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting.""Hunting? Great Guns, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder. This shows his apprehension to condone murder whilst the general does.]]> 2021-01-21 20:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethstallings1/7ovuv2xxjg3br022/wish/1111921945 https://padlet.com/elizabethstallings1/7ovuv2xxjg3br022/wish/1111922765 Claim:The central themes of this text are that no one person is better than anyone else and to respect all life.

Evidence:For Example, "Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?"

The central theme of Richard Connell story is around the fact of the Hunter and Hunted where the hunter has all of the power and the skill and they use that just because they can. Where as the hunted has no power and are treated like animals and toys 
EvIdEnCe: 
When looking for better game the general was looking for one that " It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason." and even though he wanted one that matched him in spirit he still looked that his new game as powerless and the hunted.

"Every day I hunt, and I never grow bored now, for I have a quarry with which I can match my wits."]]> 2021-01-21 20:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethstallings1/7ovuv2xxjg3br022/wish/1111924021 ryanpeters5 https://padlet.com/elizabethstallings1/7ovuv2xxjg3br022/wish/1111966255 Claim: The central theme of this story is that violence has a constant cycle, and will hit you right back. 
On an island in the middle of the Ocean, ships would often get stuck on the island and the people would never get back. One day, a character named Rainford goes to explore the mysterious island. However, he meets a person named General Zaroff on the island. They start talking, and Zaroof says that “It would be impossible for me to tell you how many animals I have killed” (Page 9, lines 4-5). However, the animals in reference were humans who he killed on the island because he wanted to hunt them for his amusement, and Rainford was just supposed to be another one of Zaroff’s prey. This represents his initial superiority complex against other living creatures, as he just saw them as his play-things that he could throw away when he felt like it. That is when Zaroff decides to play a game with Rainford so he can get some excitement. Zaroff decides that “one of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds, the other will sleep in this very excellent bed, on guard, Rainsford . . .He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided” (Page 21, lines 7-9). This conveys that Zaroff played the game with the end goal in mind that he would easily kill Rainford, and continue his cycle of violence. However, Rainford was able to kill him and stop his endless violence. This represents the theme of this story because it shows how violence will always end in violence and the person who starts the violence will inevitably get it back; which is seen when Zaroff gets killed by Rainford after all the people he killed.
