Essay Question on Test 1: The Most Dangerous Game

Whitney and Rainsford argued that animals do or do not have feelings. Whitney said that games have fear, but Rainsford argued that he is the hunter not the game, and he doesn’t care if the games think or fear. The ship hit the bank of the ocean and was destroyed and sank into the ocean, Rainsford was the only survivor. He arrived to the Ship-trap island where he heard a gun shot. He knew that there were man on the island so he conclude that there will be food. He found General Zaroff’s castle, and went inside to meet him. General Zaroff is a hunter, too, but he hunts a new type of game, which is hunting human. When Rainsford realized that Zaroff was going to hunt him, he ran and hid in the island for he has no way to get out. The first day Zaroff came out to hunt Rainsford, he actually already spotted where Rainsford was, but decided to play with him a little longer and didn’t kill him then. Rainsford set a trap called Malayan mancatcher and wounded Zaroff, which resulted him to go home and take a rest. The second day of hunting, Rainsford set a trap on the quick sands and killed Zaroff’s hunting hounds, and he had to go back home again. On the third day, Rainsford’s trap killed Ivan. Rainsford jump down the cliff and into the ocean after he was encountered by the hounds. General Zaroff thought he killed Rainsford and went back home, while Rainsford stayed alive and swim all the way to Zaroff’s chateau. He hid in the general’s bedroom, and when Zaroff came in, he challenged him to a battle. He won and took over the general’s comfortable bed.
