 * Short Stories - Literary DevisesTitle:__The Most Dangerous Game_____**

third person, omniscient Sanger Rainsford Round, dynamic General Zaroff ship-trap island in the Caribbean mid 1900's Mysterious Man vs. man The main conflict is the life or death battle Rainsford The climax of the story was when Rainsford jumped out of the closet and said, "I'm a beast at bay." and defeats Zaroff. The protagonist changed by realizing more about the feelings of the prey. The theme is empathy and how Rainsford at first didn't care about the jaguars feelings. The title(The Most Dangerous game) relates to the theme because when you hunt you usually don't have empathy and mostly don't care about the feelings of your prey. The main conflict illustrates the theme by showing how when placed into the shoes of a hunters prey Rainsford learns that it isn't fun and the jaguars don't like being hunted. The climax illustrates the theme by having Rainsford say that he is a beast at bay meaning he feels just like the jaguars he was hunting.

"It's like moist black velvet." "he lived a year in a minute." "a sharp hunger was picking at him" The mansion was a symbol of great wealth. The entire crew of the yacht was all afraid of ship-trap island and in the end Rainsford gets stranded on it. Rainsford is a hunter who ends up being hunted "a lofty structure with pointed towers plunging upward into the gloom. His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial château; it was set on a high bluff and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows." The class theme relates to the story's theme because empathy is a hard to grasp but yet a main trait in human life.

** 1. What is meant by “He lived a year in a minute”? /2 ** It is showing how when you are nervous the world seems to slow down around you. That even though he has won Rainsford will not forgive with General Zaroff The Caribbean sea He has invested in American security A safe trip onto the mainland He fell into an area of quicksand Hidden up in a tree A quarter million Because it will leave a smaller imprint on the mud and trails Rainford believed that Zaroff knew he was hiding in a tree because he was looking up the tree and turned around with a smile right before he saw him. I think he was right because if Zaroff was to kill him right there it would ruin the game. Zaroff stocks the island by using a lighthouse to direct innocent victims into a canal that crashes their ship and forces them onto the island. He was defeated and killed by Rainsford Zaroff congratulates him because it shows how Rainsford may be smart but Zaroff knows all of his tricks. We know because he was able to swim all the way back to the castle before Zaroff could walk. Before he landed on the island he was a ruthless hunter who thought that people shouldn't care about the feelings of their prey. Once he meets the general and is put in the animals position he realizes how it feels to be hunted and how nothing should be put through that fear. Connell inspires fear without bloodshed by using a man of obvious authority(Zaroff) who wouldn't flinch at the thought of killing innocent humans.
