Sequel to the Dangerous Games
Rainsford headed home to his family, but ever since the “Man Hunt” he has been a different man. He acted differently ever since he came back home. He kept himself; he always was in his study, and just sits there. All his meals got sent to his study. He lost his job because he never came in. The family was running low on food, and they needed someone to go out hunting. Rainsford wife went out hunting for food. Sooner or later Rainsford wife divorced him, because he did nothing around the house but stay in his study. A doctor came to his house because his ex-wife got worried of him, because he had never left the house. The doctor examined him, and realizes he was paralyzed from shock. Apparently the shock of him living kicked in a little bit too late. It was a year of penalization for him. He lost everything, his job, his kids, and his wife. He swore that he will get revenge on Whitney. He planned and planned for months and months on his revenge. He finally thought of a brilliant idea of how to get revenge. He sent out an invitation letter to Whitney to come to his place and visit. It took about a week for any reply to come but Whitney finally replied and said he would come to his place, and visit; he will be there a week after he gets this letter. A week went by and there was a knock at the door, and when Rainsford answered the door Whitney was standing there. “Thank you for coming sir Whitney” Rainsford said
“Same to you. Um… Where can I lay my bags?” Whitney replied.
“Oh just go down the hallway last room to the left.”
“Thank you” Whitney said while walking down the hallway. Dinner time came by and Rainsford cooked up a big meal for just the two of them. Whitney was shocked and surprise of how much food Rainsford had made for the both of them. “Are you really thinking that you and I will eat all of this?” Whitney questioned.
“Oh no, I know that we both can’t eat all this up in one night, but it will be good for leftovers for tomorrow.”
“Oh” Whitney said

    Hopewell loved what she referred to as good country people; she thought they were the salt of the earth. That is why she allowed Mr. and Mrs. Freeman and their two daughters to live in their tenant house, even though Mrs. Freeman was a very nosey neighbor. So when a polite, young country gentleman named Manley Pointer came by one day selling bibles, she could never have known that he was in fact the scum of the earth. He took an instant interest in Hulga and quickly accepted the invite to stay for dinner. At dinner Manley did what he was expected to do, which was to talk about the lord, his church, himself, and also of a heart condition that was similar to Hulga’s. Mrs. Hopewell was touched by this young man and extended him an invitation to come back any time he wished, which he kindly accepted. As he was leaving, he stopped to talk to Hulga. Their conversation began with a lousy joke about a chicken and he asked her how old she was. Her response was a lie; she claimed she was only seventeen. He then told her that he noticed she had a wooden leg and that he found her very brave and sweet and that they were destined to meet. He also asked her to meet him on Saturday at her gate and go on a picnic with him, to which she…

    Rainsford awoke after the best night sleep of his life. It wasn’t just the fact that the bed was one of the comfiest he had ever slept in, or the fact he was exhausted after being hunted for three days, but the enormous relief he felt by beating the general at his own game. He spent most of his morning planning in his mind a payback for the general. It wasn't revenge, but Rainsford felt that the general needed reminding that the game he was playing was wrong. However, Rainsford felt certain uneasiness at the fact he had won the hunt, what extent would the general go to now to satisfy his hunting pleasures? Would he now try even more extremes in hunting? Rainsford shuddered as he thought of the things the general may do, but tried to shrug them off as he thought of a plan to payback the general, and it needed to be good.…

    “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell, is a narrative about Mr. Sanger Rainsford, a celebrated hunter, who finds himself on a secluded island after falling overboard a yacht. Rainsford locates a large building on the island and meets General Zaroff, who invites him to rest and replenish his health in his home. After Zaroff explains that he also enjoys hunting, he also reveals that he has discovered a new, more dangerous animal to hunt: humans. Zaroff forces Rainsford to become the hunted in order to win his freedom and return to the mainland. Connell’s central idea suggests that instinct does not always yield to reason.…
