Sanger Rainsford is a very intelligent and brave character in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game"My first reason on why i say the Sanger Rainsford is a brave and intelligent man is because he took on Ivan and General Zaroff ( killed them both). On page 28 it states " He had ever slept in a better bed, Rainsford Decided". Which means he won against General Zarroff. And on page 27 it says " Just ahead of him Rainsford mad out another figure whose wide shoulders surged through the tall jungle weeds. It was the giant Ivan". That's when Rainsford killed him with the tree and knife trick. One more thing i found interesting about Rainsford is that he would actually fight back against General Zarroff and Ivan, instead of trying to find a way out or something. I found it clever when Rainsford said to General Zarroff before the fight was on Pg 28 " I am still the beast at bay," He said, in a low, hoarse voice. " Get ready, General Zarroff".

Sanger Rainsford is a very intelligent character in "the most dangerous game". First, Rainsford is a very smart and skilled character. For example, "the knife, driven by the recoil of the springing tree, had not wholly failed"pg 27. Also i find it intresting that Rainsford slept so peacefully after killing General zaroff. In conclusion, Rainsford is a very calm and composed character.

Sanger Rainsford is a very brave man who enjoys hunting big game in the story "The Most Dangerous Game". First, he has hunted game such as tigers, this shows he is very brave. He also fought in World War 1. For example, "Then he leaped far into the sea" pg 27 is an example of his bravery. Also Rainsford has suffered many near death experiences. In conclusion, Raisford is a very brave and intelligent man.

Emily Kean: General Zarroff

2014-09-29 17:27:31 UTC

General Zarroff is very dangerous person in "The Most Dangerous Game". First, he hunts humans instead of an animal, he found hunting animals to be boring because they can't reason. On page 20 when General Zarroff said "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt. So I said: 'What are the attributes of an ideal quarry? And the answer was, of course: " It must have courage, cunning, and above all, it must be able to reason.", it showed many traits humans have and that he wanted something that could beg for its life. Also, Zarroffs pointy teeth and red lips shows give an inhuman like feature to him. In conclusion, General Zarroff is an insane, mass murderer, who likes to hunt people.

ROGER arndt : Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:27:41 UTC

Rainsford was the kind of hunter that never really thought that the animals he hunted felt anything. until the day he had become the hunted, not the hunter. but he didin't give up. he ran and made traps,trails and tried not to lose his nerve. in the end he ended up wining the game. but i think most importantly, he finally respected the animals he has hunted. for he now understands what it is like to be the hunted.

Chrissy Davis general zaroff

2014-09-29 17:27:41 UTC

General zaroff is a very cruel man in "the most dangerous game." First, he likes to trap men and hunt them instead of animals and he in joys it. For example, " the hunting was not good last night, the fellow lost his head." pg 23. Also he wanted to hunt Rainsford. In conclusion, general zaroff is a mean and makes people sick to their stomaches to read what he does.

Julie Wang : General Zaroff

2014-09-29 17:27:52 UTC

General Zaroff is a bad person in "The Most Dangerous Game'' story. First,he killed people with hunting. For example,he began hunting at an early age.Also he told Rainsford he hunted men.In conclusion,General Zaroff is a selfish person and a murder.

Kyle Pracht; General Zaroff

2014-09-29 17:27:55 UTC

General Zaroff is a very unpredictable person in "The Most Dangerous Game." First, he revealed he was a Cossack. For example, he revealed this on page 17 by saying "He's a Cossack. So am I." Also, he told us that he hunted men, and had shown no regret towards doing so. In conclusion, General Zaroff had played a major roll in the story and also added some of the suspense that the story needed.

Sara Bartley : General Zaroff

2014-09-29 17:27:56 UTC

General Zaroff is a very interesting character in "The Most Dangerous Game" General Zaroff hunts humans for fun and doesnt care about animals. For Example on page 20 General said " I wanted the ideal animal to hunt [...] but no animal can reason" General Zaroff is also extremely polite and he comes across as a gentleman. In conclusion General Zaroff is an insane man.

Clay Scott; Sanger Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:28:12 UTC

Rainsford is a smart, cunning man in¨The Most Dangerous Game¨. First, Rainsford always keeps his cool no matter what the conditions are. For example on page 24, he describes that he must keep his nerve because that's the only way he can think clearly. Rainsford also used a lot of traps to help him evade Zaroff. In conclusion, Rainsford is smart and cunning.

Aaron Cruickshank; General Zaroff

2014-09-29 17:29:35 UTC

General Zaroff is a very twisted man in the story "The Most Dangerious Game." First he came from a horrible background, he is a Cossack. For example, Cossack were men who tortured their enemy's in war and he said he was with a smile. Pg.17. Also, he doesn't care if he kills another human its in his nature. In conclusion, General Zaroff is a sick minded coldbloded man.

James Medrano , Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:31:44 UTC

1 Do you wish to know about Rainsford? He was a man who loved to hunt big game such as tigers. He and his friend Whitney are off to rio to do some hunting when Rainsford falls over board and is on an island with to other people who hunt humans. 2 the idea of animals turning into humans and living along side us is a odd concept its as if saying the general himslef is an animal killing people example page 25 it says zaroff eyes don't let anything escape and follows the target like a blood hound in conclusion the theme reason vs instinct zaroff is a instinct man then the reason type. 3 james medrano motif the idea that the color red be used this much in the story just makes it seem that the person that wrote the story is carzy for the color red to spook those that read the book.

Kaylie Ruck; Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:31:56 UTC

Rainsford is a very clever man in "The Most Dangerous Game."First he knows how to build traps, ones that can kill people. For example the he knew how to build a trap that killed Ivan on page 27. Rainsford was also the one who said that the animals cant feel feelings so now i think he kind of gets how the animals he hunts feel. One thing Rainsford did that was weird was he slept fine in the bed after he killed zaroff. in conclusion Rainsford is a confusing person.

Matthew Berggren : Sanger Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:32:04 UTC

Sanger Rainsford is a very important character in " The Most Dangerous Game". First I would like to point out that the whole story is about him falling off the yacht and having to swim to ship wreck island. Second he was in mostly every part of the story. Third Rainsford was bond to win the hunt because the book is focusing on him more than all the characters put together. For an example on page 28 when he is in Zaroff's bedroom and they do a stand off, you know he is going to win and he does because he is the main character. In conclusion that's why I think Rainsford is the most important character in " The Most Dangerous Game".

Kate Schember ; Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:32:16 UTC

Sanger Rainsford is a very dangerous person to hunt in ''The Most Dangerous Game''. Rainsford has hunted in a lot of places and knows a lot about hunting. Like in the book he says '' That Cape Buffalo is the largest I have ever seen.'' on page 18. He has also survived many near experiences. I thought Rainsford would be the one to die, but he would be a chanllege to hunt.

Brad LaMay ; Zaroff

2014-09-29 17:32:26 UTC

General Zaroff is a very brutal character in "The Most Dangerous Game." Zaroff started hunting at a young age when he started shooting at his father's prized turkeys and has evolved into hunting men. I chose this detail because in the book on page 20 Rainsford says," Hunting?Good god,General Zaroff,what you speak of is murder." Also, Zaroff praises his hounds over the lives of the sailors that he hunts for every day. In conclusio, General Zaroff is a mysterious, barbaric, and brutal man.

2014-09-29 17:32:27 UTC

sanger rainsford is a noble character in "the most dangerous game". he is also a big game hunter hunting in exotic places and hunts animals like jaguars. he says in the book about hunting "its the greatest sport in the world". also, he feels never scared even after he fell off the ship he still swims to safety on an island where it seemed to be deserted. in conclusion i think rainsford is a smart,dangerous and cleaver man,he is a great character in this story.

Brianna Ward ; Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:35:15 UTC

Rainsford is a dangerous person in the story "The most dangerous game". First hes a big hunter but he is also very smart and brave. He was on a boat with his friend because they were going to go hunting in Rio and Rainsford heard a loud noise and went to look off the boat to look and see what it was and he fell over board and ends up going to a island with this guy named General Zaroff who hunts human and Rainsford gets kinda scared because on page 23 Rainsford says "General, i wish to leave this island at once". Another thing i found intrusting about rainsford is calm about everything and even does the games. In conclustion rainsford cleaverly thought through how he was ganna do and win the games and is strong

Shaeleigh Penzak: General Zaroff

2014-09-29 17:35:23 UTC

General Zaroff is a very ruthless character in "The Most Dangerous Game. First, he hunts humans for his own pleasure, which makes him inhumane. For example, on page 23 when General Zaroff says, "I loved Lazarus; he was the finest hound in my pack," shows that he cares for an animal rather than a human life. Also, in the end of the story, i was interested that once Rainsford found General Zaroff, he still wanted a challenge when he told Rainsford only one of them would live. In conclusion, I think General Zaroff was a sick and mad man.

Rainsford is a very brave man who loves to hunt big game and has written sevarel books on the subject. he is a verry importent charicter in this storey,he has written books about all of his major hunting trips.

theme the theme of this storey is based all around hunting.When rainsford washes ashore to ship trap island he finds zarrof the next evining zaroff starts hunting rainsford three days later rainsford did not get killed so he snuck into zarroffs bedroom and killed him.

Destiny Cook ; Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:39:02 UTC

Sanger Rainsford is a very brave and dangerous in the short story ''The Most Dangerous Game''.Rainsford is a skilled , smart, strong hunter , who hunts many different types of animals . He is smart and and has a background of fighting in World War 1 making him even more tough and brave . For example he swam all the way to the shore proving that he is strong.He also made a Burmese tiger pit and used he resources like twigs and branches to live showing he has experience as a hunter and fighter. I also found it interesting that Rainsford did not seem bothered by killing Zaroff it makes me wonder if he will become the next man hunter.In conlusion i think Rainsford is smart , dangerous , and mysterious

rainsford is a very brave and outgoing in "the dangerous game,"he likes hunting but animals not humans"we have some good hunting up the amazon."he jumped of the boat,"he balnced himslef there to get greated elevation on the rail."he is a brave person ans strong he has some real courage to be hunted for 3 days. he plays a big role in this story because he is one that is being hunted and kills zaroff.

The idea that zaroff is killing people is not a good thing it is murder and zaroff was on the hunt for rainsford has we see on page 27"rainsford was hideing up in a tree" from zarroff.to be honest i think rainsford could of killed zarroff sooner but i love how they put so much information in the story.In conclusion when he was climeing the tree he was getting away from zaroff and hiding.

the symblos are a sign of what happens when it dose and where it happens

Mark McKim; General Zaroff

2014-09-29 17:39:14 UTC

General Zaroff is a cruel, uncaring character in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game". First, he hunts humans for sport and feels no shame in himself for it. For example, on page 17, he told Rainsford that he and his servant, Ivan, are Cossack cavalrymen who would torture people. Also, General Zaroff had a 'fake' lighthouse built to trap sailors on the island for his 'game'. In conclusion, General Zaroff is one sick, twisted man.

Eugene Schott; General Zaroff

2014-09-29 17:39:28 UTC

General Zaroff is a twisted bizarre man in the book (The Most Dangerous Game).Zaroff considers himself a god who can snuff out life.For example,on page 21 when Rainsford says "But they are are men," Zaroff replies with "Precisely, that is why i use them it gives me pleasure".Also, he commanded a division of Cossak cavalrymen and familiarized him with horrors and atrocities of warfare.In conclusion Zaroff is inhuman and heartless.

Morgan Asselin; Rainsford

2014-09-29 17:42:18 UTC

Sanger Rainsford is a very brave character in "the Most Dangerous Game." First, Rainsford is a big-game hunter that happens to come into a life or death situation. For example, on page 23, when general Zaroff says, "the choice rests entirely with you, but may i not venture to suggest that you will find my idea of sport more diverting than Ivan's" shows that Rainsford has a big choice to make. Also, he has experienced fighting in World War. In conclusion, Sanger Rainsford is strong and brave.

Aaron Cruickshank; The Effects of War

2014-09-29 17:49:06 UTC

The idea that war played a big role on how General Zaroff was is a great concept. First, in the story its shows that he has the willing of actually hunting another human. Also, for Rainsford it comes to him in flashbacks while they were doing the 3-day hunting game. To be honest i believe the war was a big factor on how the story went. In conclusion, war was a big factor because of how General Zaroff was always polite to everyone before he killed them.

Ryan Wesch: The effects of war

2014-09-29 17:53:11 UTC

The idea the effects of war is an interesting concept. First you realize that the war has not effected General Zaroff as he kills humans as if he was hunting. For example on page 22 Zaroff says "I want to show you my new collection of heads." To be honest the effects of war would seem to be nightmarish to me. In conclusion i feel that Rainsford would not of survived if he hadnt of been in the war.

Shaeleigh Penzak: Theme

2014-09-29 17:53:36 UTC

The idea that the effects of war for the theme is an interesting concept. First, you can tell in the story that General Zaroff wasn't effected by the war because he is now killing men for sport. For example, on page 21, General Zaroff says, " It's a game, you see," interprets that he does this for fun. To be honest, i think this theme corresponds to the story very well. In conclusion, i think the effects of war had different effects on both characters.

Mark McKim; Theme

2014-09-29 17:53:46 UTC

The idea of reason versus instinct is a real concept. First, Whitney asks Rainsford if the animals they hunt feel fear. For example, Riansford thought he had created the most difficult trail, on page 24, but General Zaroff found him. To be honest, its a mater of what happens. In conclusion, reason is the better of all instincts

Blake Pilgrim: Theme

2014-09-29 17:54:49 UTC

The idea that war impacted how zaroff was is an interesting concept. First, Commanding a Cossack cavalry altered his mind into thinking that humans are worthy prey. For example, on page 21 Zaroff says " I'm a hunter not a murderer", shows that he thinks humans can be considered game. To be honest i think that this is a very interesting and possibly true idea that Zaroff was effected by the hunt. In conclusion, the effects of war is a very intriguing theme for the story "The Most Dangerouus Game".

Kyle Pracht; Theme

2014-09-29 17:55:01 UTC

The idea that the effects of war is a very interesting concept. First, General Zaroff was definitely not effected by the war because a couple of years later, here he is shooting anyone who gets trapped on his island. For example, we see that on page 23 when he says "The hunting was not good last night. The fellow lost his head. He made a straight trail that offered no problems at all", it shows that he had no problems killing a man. To be honest, the theme seems fairly easy to discuss. In conclusion, I see that General Zaroff had no problem killing a man and Rainsford obviously didn't want to hunt the men

Emily Kean: Theme

2014-09-29 17:57:48 UTC

The idea that the effects of war played a big role in Rainsfords survival is a great concept. The first time this concept was evident was when Rainsford was being hunted by the General and he recalled his time serving in the war and how he was more scared being hunted by a madman than another army, and in france when he dug the burmese tiger pit. On page 26 when Rainsford made the burmese tiger pit, The general had congratulated him on doing so. To be honest, i think it was a great idea to put in the theme of war, it added some knowledge about Zarroff and Rainsford. In conclusion, the connections to the story were great and very interesting.

Kate Schember ;Motifs

2014-09-29 17:58:22 UTC

The idea the the color red, is about how the colors help us picture the whats going on. This is told when Rainsford is tell us what zaroff looks like with ''his bright red lips''. The first time I see this mentioned is on page 17. ''.......and his smile showed his red lips and pointed teeth.......''. I think using this it help me picture the story a lot better. The use of the color red kind og theme is very creative and is used very well in the story.

Shaeleigh Penzak: Motif

2014-09-29 17:58:25 UTC

The idea that the color red symbolizes the violence in the story is a clever concept. First, the color red appeared in the story when Rainsford fell into the "blood-warm waters" of the Caribbean. For example, on page 17 the author mentions "His smile showed red lips and pointed teeth." To be honest, the color red shows up a lot in the beginning of the story, but drifts away towards the end, which also is when Rainsford wins the game. In conclusion, i think the color red was placed thoughtfully and carefully throughout the story.

Morgan Asselin ; theme

2014-09-29 17:58:44 UTC

The idea that the effects of war is an interesting concept. First, General Zaroff explains his wartime and how it was expected of a noblemens son. For example, on page 19, General Zaroff goes on to explain how he began in the war and how it goes along with his love of hunting. to be honest, i think war has a great effect on the story because, it gives reasons to why general zaroff is a general. In conclusion, war has a great effect on the theme.

Eugene Schott; Reason versus Instin

2014-09-29 17:59:12 UTC

The idea of reason versus instinct is a true concept.First, when Rains ford but the maylaymancatcher he was going off the instinct to survive. For example, on page 27 when he leaped out towards the sea he was going on his instinct.In conclusion, i think it was evident were there was the theme reason versus instinct.

Julie Wang ; Theme

2014-09-29 18:00:33 UTC

The idea that the effects of the war is an interesting concept.First, This theme was evident during Rainsford wanted General join in his hunting people(to be a murder .For example, on page#21 General said:"Thank you,I'm a hunter, not a murderer." We see General is a good hunter and person.To be honest hunting is not a good sport.In conclusion Rainsford was naive and a murderer.

Matthew Berggren: theme

2014-09-29 18:00:43 UTC

The idea of reason vs. instinct is an interesting concept. The meaning is that your instincts can help you in a life or death situation and is a way to keep yourself from being harmed

in a dangerous situation. It's a good theme because it shows you that if you follow your instincts you can be able to stay alive just like how Rainsford did when Zaroff was hunting him. When Rainsford made that tiger trap he was using his instincts to out smart Zaroff but did it work no but it was worth a try. IN conclusion Use your instinct to win " The Most Dangerous Game".

Brianna Ward: Theme

2014-09-29 18:01:48 UTC

The idea of The effects on war is an inreusting concept.

First, General Zaroff didnt have any effects on hunting humans. Its didnt bother him one bit. On page 22, General told rainsford, wanna see my new heads like he was proud. To be honest i think thats crazy that he hunts humans.In conclusion i think rainsford did good by getting rid of zaroff so he doesnt do it to other peple.

Destiny Cook ; Reason vs instinct

2014-09-29 18:02:16 UTC

The idea that reason vs instinct is the the theme is a interesting concept.The theme was evident in the text . For example when Rainsford jumped of the cliff he was using he instincts to get away from Zarrof and the dogs but not thinking if would be able to make it . He also made the quick knife trap to kill out of fear and the will to live without thinking he was going to kill someone on purpose .To be honest i think most of the things Rainsford did was out of instinct and not reason .In conclusion I think this stories theme shows how people act when having the instinct to survive kicks in.

Sara Bartley : Theme

2014-09-29 18:02:58 UTC

The idea that Rainsford and Zaroff have similar backgrounds is an interesting concept. This theme was evident in the text when they were both talking about hunting and how much they hunted. For example on page 17 we see Zaroff say " I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet." To be honest i don't really think this concept is reasonable. In conclusion i think they both had different effects after the war.

ROGER arndt : theme

2014-09-29 18:03:22 UTC

the effects of war is an interesting look on this story. but its easy to tell the different effects of war on both Rainsford and Zaroff. first you can tell that zaroff is not effected the slightest bit, infact he probably wishes he was still in war, so that he could torture people. but rainford is not like zaroff at all. zaroff says that making men go out into the jungle and tracking them just to kill them, is hunting. but rainford says that what zaroff does, is murder. you can see that rainford was effected more by war than zaroff was. because if not, then rainsford might be doing what zaroff is/was doing now.

Chrissy Davis the effect of war

2014-09-29 18:03:34 UTC

The idea that general zaroff hunts men instead of animals is an concept. First when general zaroff ask rainsford to join him in hunting. For example pg 20 we see " why should i not be serious? I am speaking of is hunting." To be honest, I think he is a murder not a hunter. In conclusion he is so mean to true men that should not be hunted.

gage monaco - theme

2014-09-29 18:04:06 UTC

the ideal that the effects of war for this theme is a strange and interesting concept. you can clearly ssee general zaroff was not affected by the war because he is killing humans for a sport. for example on pg 21 he talks about "life is for the strong and the weak of the world were put here to give me great pleasure",so he lets the strong live but kills the weak his head must be screwed up. to be honest i kinda of thought this theme makes alot of sense because both of them hunt for happiness and glory they miss that after the war.in conclussion i think the effects of war had different effects on both characters.

Kaylie Ruck; theme

2014-09-29 18:05:05 UTC

the idea that the effects of war are reasons why zaroff is so okay with killing people is a rational point. first zaroff says animals have lack of reason, saying that he likes the fight that is given like in war begging for your life. for example on page 21 zaroff says "surly your experiences in the war-" as if meaning to say it was ok to murder after that. to be honest i think it is very likly that war is the reason zaroff is how he is

Kyle Pracht; Symbol

2014-09-29 18:06:32 UTC

The idea that the jungle is a great concept. First, the jungle was evident right from the beginning when Rainsford rolled down into the forest after reaching the island. For example, the book said on page 15 "Dense jungle came down to the very end of the cliffs. To be honest, the thought of having that much jungle to get lost in and coming across the only house on the island is very lucky. In conclusion, the Jungle didn't surprise me because they were headed to the Amazon Rainforest, but the fact that Rainsford managed to find his way to the only house for a couple-hundred miles did.

Brad LaMay; reason vs instinct

2014-09-29 18:06:35 UTC

The idea of reason vs. instinct is an interesting concept. This theme was evident in the story when Zaroff and Rainsford were talking about the hunt and what Zaroff hunted. This theme is evident in the story on page 20 when Zaroff said,"It must have courage, cunning, and above all, it must be able to reason." To be honest I think this a true statement. In conclusion, i think that reason vs. instinct is an interesting concept.

Aaron Cruickshank; The Island

2014-09-29 18:07:19 UTC

The Idea that the island is a great concept. First, the island is the place where most events happened. like on pg. 13 where Whitney says that island is rather a mystery, that island is where ships get taken in and its crew are hunted by General Zaroff. To be honest, the island is the main part of the story. In conclusion, the island is where all the death happens.

Shaeleigh Penzak: Response

@Kyle Pracht

I found your comment "the jungle was evident right from the beginning[...]" to be true and a main part of the story. First, I agree that the jungle is a crucial part of the story, and your description on page 15 adds to the important-ness of the jungle. Furthermore, I think the the story could have not happened without a jungle. Also, I think the jungle being where they were was handy in a way, people could hide in it. In conclusion, your response about the jungle was very well written.

Blake Pilgrim: motiff

2014-09-29 18:09:15 UTC

The idea that darkness shrouds Ship-Trap island accentuates the shadowy recesses that lie behind logic and reason is a great concept. First, the lighthouse guiding ships to the island is an example of the darkness of the island shadows the logic and reason of the ships. For example, When Whitney says "The moist black velvet air" shows that he can sense the "darkness".

Chrissy Davis mortif

2014-09-29 18:10:28 UTC

The idea of darkness is a shadowly on the island and at night is an concept. First, when they are on their yacht and traveling to the island in the dark. pg 13 we see "what island is it?" rainsford asked. To be honest, darkness describes the story so well. In conculsion the darkness is a good adjective for the story.

Ryan Wesch: motif

The idea of the color red is a disturbing concept. First, it talks about this right after Rainsford falls off the boat. For example, on page 14 "the cry was pinched off shortly as the blood warm waters came over his head.

Eugene Schott; The Color red

2014-09-29 18:11:52 UTC

The idea that the color red means coming violence is a logical idea.First, when Rainsford found the trampled grass stained with a crimson red.For example, on page 17 when they were eating the rich red borscht soup.In conclusion it was a brilliant idea to include the color red to suggest coming violence.

I found ypur comment " the color red means coming violence" to be true. First I agree about that because red means bloody and violence in the story. Furthermore, blood is red and there is hunting in this story and violence. Also, general zaroff is very cruel to men. In conclusion, red is a very important adjective in the story without it the story wouldn't make any sense.

the idea that the color red meaning violence is. First when Rainsford found the crimson grass. For example on page 17, they were eating rich red borscht soup. in conclusion red is a big part of the story and without is the story would be missing impertant details.

The idea that the color red symbols blood in the story is true and interesting.First the author is always describing things on and near the island a red color like the ''blood warm water'' and ''stained crimson'' which to me is referring to blood .To be honest i think that this is a great observation and i totally agree with it.In conclusion i think red referring to blood and violence on the island is a great point of view .

The idea of ship wreck island being a symbol is a good concept. The way it said it has no government controlling it give you the idea that Zaroff used that island for a reason. Being in the middle of nowhere gives you the freedom to do things other people can't. In conclusion that's why zaroff made the island a TMDG death match spot.

@Matthew Berggen Sym

I found your comment '' Zaroff used the island for a reason is a true concept.First i did agree he used it because it was way far out with nobody to enforce laws. Furthermore i think that there being no government was the reason of the location for man hunting is true like you said.Also i agree that ''being in the middle of nowhere gives you freedom to do things other people cant'' is a perfect way to describe why Zarrof chose the island.In conclusion your response about why Zaroff chose the island was a good observation .

I like your comment about the war effecting both Rainsford and Zaroff. With their experience with war they can use their skills to out with eachother. I do agree with everything you said about the effect

I found your comment "shows that he can sense darkness was very intresting. First i agree about your opinion on the logic of ship trap island. Furthermore, i really dont think that putting in the detail "the lighthouse guids the ships" is nessesary. Also "the moist black velvet air" does not show darkness. In conclusion, your response on mortifs was good but needs some work.

the color red is a great concept for this story, I didn't realize it until I looked at this motif, but the color red is definetly surrounding this whole story. even in the beginning when it says, "stained crimson". and that's not it either, the story keeps mentioning red. like the wine. in conclusion, I think that the color red was a good concept.

@Kyle Pracht I found your comment "The fact he found the only house did" to be very true to what i think. First, i agree that it was luck he found the house. Furthermore, it would be very unlikely for him to find a house in such a big area. Also i think he should've been lost for days at least. In conclusin, your comment was a very good one and i agree with it.

@mattewbergeren I like your comment about instincts help you win, because its true. your mind goes into a new state and just tells you what you need to do.
