    General Zaroff In Connell's The Most Dangerous Game

    “Splendid! 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”. (Connell 41) There were some of last few sentences of the story provided a somewhat cryptic ending. This meant that Rainsford had beat Zaroff. Since Zaroff was beat by Rainsford he won his bed.

    Lead/Quote - On Shiptrap island, Rainsford is being hunted by Zarroff, a Russian, peculiar, eerie, skilled hunter that lost interest in hunting animals; therefore, he went hunting humans, and got his hounds to hunt Rainsford all while, “He caught hold of a young springy sapling and to it he fastened his hunting knife, with the blade pointing down the trail; with a bit of wild grapevine he tied back the sapling. Then he ran for his life. The hounds raised their voices…

    Example Of A MDG Paragraph

    The reason Rainsford lived was because of reason. One example from the text is when he just started to run from the General. The text says “I'll give him a trail to follow” (Connell, 210). This shows that Rainsford had to think about a plan. He does not just start running around on instinct. He had to carefully plan a way for him to escape from the general because he knew that he was a experienced hunter. Furthermore, after Rainsford got his foot stuck in quicksand it gave him an idea after knowing the ground was soft he dug a hole for a trap. Rainsford says “the softness of the earth had giving him an idea… he planted sharpened sticks to the bottom” (Connell, 212). This states that he used reason to build a trap. When he got…

    Film Response: The Night Of The Hunter

    “Now, you remember children how I told you last Sunday about the good Lord going up into the mountain and talking to the people. And how he said, 'Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God’… And then the good Lord went on to say, 'Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep 's clothing, but inwardly, they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.’ ” This opening quote by the Bible fearing woman Rachel sets the tone for the film The Night of the Hunter. This quote opens the film with a tremulous benevolence, yet there is also something sinister here, a sense that she, Rachel, is providing mercy for all the world’s wickedness, into which the audience is about to be…

    Summary: The Quiet Beauty Of A Hunter's Lair

    For my visual description, I chose to write about a photograph captured by Jason Vaughn, The Quiet Beauty of a Hunter’s Lair. The picture is part of a series called Hide. The picture was taken in Columbus, Wisconsin in the year 2013. Photographs from Hide were placed in the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art Wisconsin Triennial and the State of the Art exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. The photo, which is twenty-four inches high by thirty inches wide, shows the beauty of a deer stand in a still setting deep in the woods. The hazy sky and the distant trees in the background without much clarity put emphasis on the deer stand, making the stand the focal point of the photo. The lighting…

    The Most Dangerous Game Instinct Analysis

    It is essential to be able to trust your instinct and to reason. Both of these skills are important and will be useful. In this story, I believe instinct is the reason why Rainsford was able to defeat Zaroff. During the hunt, Rainsford didn’t always have a lot of time to think, and he had to depend on his instincts and do whatever felt right. When Rainsford used reason, it was not always successful. During the hunt, he used reason to set up traps and avoid certain areas. However, the traps never succeeded in stopping or killing Zaroff. In the end, Zaroff kept getting closer and closer to Rainsford and he trusted his instinct to flee and leaped into the ocean. I believe this decision he made saved his life because the possibility of him defeating Zaroff and his hounds were very slim. Zaroff could not rationalize Rainsford’s decision and it led to Rainsford winning the…
