The repeated sound sounded like "Someone had fired a gun three times." Rainsford got up to the railing, balanced on the edge, lost his balance and he fell into the Caribbean sea as it "Closed over his head."]]> 2022-03-10 17:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2088768091 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2088773996 2022-03-10 17:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2088773996 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2090805940 After swimming endlessly towards an island, Rainsford strategically finds a palace, where he was greeted "The largest man Rainsford had ever seen-a gigantic creature solidly made black-bearded to the waist; The first thing Rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man Rainsford has ever met." Meaning that Rainsford was confronted by a gargantuan sized human. After a being held at gunpoint with a charged revolver, "Another man was coming down the broad marble steps; I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet; I am General Zaroff." Rainsford was relieved he had met someone who had already known him. ]]> 2022-03-11 17:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2090805940 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2090807640 2022-03-11 17:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2090807640 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092372430 General Zaroff explains how hunting bored him, "I asked myself why the hunt no longer fascinated me; hunting has ceased to be what you call a sporting proposition; no animal had any chance with me any more; instinct is no match for reason; it came to me as an inspiration what I must do; I had to invent a new animal." said General Zaroff. He then went on to list the strategies and ideas that made the animal worth hunting, that made hunting worth hunting. The new "animal" was a human. "Good god." exclaimed Rainsford. "What you speak of is murder." he added. General Zaroff continued to defend himself, on how his actions of hunting humans is "justified," and "Civil." Rainsford exclaimed how he wanted to leave the island, but then General Zaroff added, "As you wish my friend; the choice rests entirely within you; but I may not venture to suggest you will find my idea more diverting than Ivan's." Rainsford knew at that moment, he was the prey, and the General was the predator.]]> 2022-03-13 14:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092372430 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092373933 2022-03-13 14:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092373933 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092390191 Rainsford was given his supplies, and was out in the woods, he only had to survive 3 days against an insane person. "Rainsford had fought his way through the bush for two hours; I must keep my nerve, I must keep my nerve." Rainsford is show to be stressed, and a little uneasy. He fought his way through the forest for hours, he pulls off a few of the following strategies: "The complicated tree trail." to lose his opponent, "The Malay man catcher" a small tree holding a large tree that will switch and collapse on the opponent, and the "Burmese Tiger Pit" a trap with leaves covering the ground below, he ended up getting Ivan with a swerving knife, but that was a minor success. ]]> 2022-03-13 14:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092390191 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092391722 2022-03-13 14:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092391722 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092431713 Rainsford knew that he would inevitably die if he waited in his position, so he "Forced himself on toward that gap; then he leaped far out into the sea." General Zaroff had lost track of Rainsford, and called it a night. He went back into his quarters, flicked a light and said "Better luck next time!" and then he spotted a man who had been hiding in the curtains. It was Rainsford, he had swam across the sea and climbed into the palace. "You have won the game." Exclaimed General Zaroff "I congratulate you." "I am still a beast at bay; get ready General Zaroff." exclaimed Rainsford in a low hoarse voice. One of the two people in that room slept in a bed of hounds, Rainsford never slept in a better bed in his life. ]]> 2022-03-13 15:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092431713 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092432094 2022-03-13 15:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092432094 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092433850 I conclude that the mood of this story can shift, from calm to tense, from tense to extreme, the plot twists and curves of the story help it form its presence and keep the reader on his/her toes, the author has very good forensic wordplay that fits right along with the story. ]]> 2022-03-13 15:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092433850 areyes275 https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092434190 2022-03-13 15:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/areyes275/7t7ylnywpvn38jja/wish/2092434190
