Ship-Trap Island is like the nightmare you will never wake up from. In the book “The Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, a hunter named Rainsford was sailing in the sea to go hunt in the Amazon when suddenly he falls off of his yacht due to strong waves late at night. He ends up at this mysterious island the next morning where a general named Zaroff finds him. At first, Zaroff seems friendly but later on he puts Rainsford through a challenge where Zaroff is hunting Rainsford down for three days and if Rainsford wins, he survives. If the general wins, Rainsford will be killed. General Zaroff used to hunt animals as a sport, but now he hunts people. Rainsford will never hunt again after having to go through the dangerous game and being frightened

General Zaroff is an amazing hunter, “[has] hunted every kind of game in every land” (). Since he has hunted every animal and was smarter than every animal, there was nothing left for him to hunt. General Zaroff had been hunting since he was a child, and he thought all animals were too easy, except one. “‘It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason’” (). By this, he means humans. General Zaroff wants to kill people for the fun of it and to challenge himself. And when the character, Rainsford, confronts him about hunting people being a crazy idea, Zaroff is surprised that Rainsford doesn’t like the idea. Zaroff is similar to Montresor, in the way that they want to kill people. Although, they have different reasons for doing so. Montresor kills because he wants Fortunato to pay for the so called injuries he committed towards Montresor. And Zaroff kills for joy, and excitement. He wants a challenge, and hunting any regular type of animal isn’t good enough. It’s as if he is hungry for a challenge, and he knows the only thing as smart as him, is one of his kind. This is a mental flaw due to the fact that it is a way to almost disguise murder. Saying that he wants to hunt an animal that can reason instead of saying he wants to kill people. When Rainsford confronted him about it and asked him if he was serious, he said, “‘Why

Fear is not real. It is the product of thoughts you create. Danger is very real, but fear is a choice. In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” the main character Rainsford is being hunted which creates fear in him.

“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.

Twas the night after General Zaroff was killed during insane battle between Zaroff and Rainsford. General Zaroff was killed late at night, the battle between them was insanely tough to beat each other because the two great opponents were going against one on one. They had both walked in on that battle last night, and that's when everything turned the wrong way. Zaroff was testing Rainsford to see if he was strong enough and tough enough to go threw the obstacles that Zaroff was preparing for him. Rainsford went into that battle knowing pretty much nothing at all, he just knew he had to go into that battle and fight with everything he had. Zaroff had this theory that Rainsford was trying to kill him and he was right but for a good reason. Rainsford walked up to the

Rainsford, Montresor, Walter Palmer, and the Sniper all killed. Rainsford was the most justified in killing his enemy. My reasons are self defense General Zaroff was a murderer, and sailors would get trapped. My first reason is Gen. Zaroff tried to kill Rainsford On page (29) “Tonight,” said the general, “we will hunt You and I” Implying the Gen. Zaroff is going to kill Rainsford, so Rainsford killed Zaroff in self defense. My second reason is that Zaroff killed people. On page (25-26) Gen. Zaroff described his perfect animal humans. That was one of the main reasons that Rainsford killed Gen. Zaroff. My last reason is that no more sailors would be lured to the thought of safety by a lighthouse which is described on page (26-27) of how sailors

After failing to get anyone to help, Kane must kill Miller and his gang, before they kill him. “Smiling, Ben hands him two guns. Frank takes no chances” (Foreman 327-328). While they are all getting ready to kill him, Kane panics, but along with the help of his newlywed, Amy, they win the battle. The only difference between the two conflicts is that in "The Most Dangerous Game", General Zarroff is a complete sociopath. “My dear fellow,’ said the general, ‘there is one that can’” (Connell 221). He is explaining that on this island, he hunts humans, because that is the only animal that can truly think. Zarroff will never feel bad at all that he is trying to kill Rainsford, so there is now ay out of it. In the end, Rainsford surprises him, by hiding in the Zarroff’s bedroom and killing him. Even though they seem different, they are pretty much the same exact thing. Both trying to get killed by an evil person, and they kill the antagonist in the

In general, people tend to shy away from teaching children about difficult times in history such as the Middle Passage, the Trail of Tears, and the Holocaust. This is understandable since they are children and tend to have other interests like playing games with their friends. What if one could combine education of these difficult topics with the allure of a kid friendly game? Brenda Romero did just that. In her Ted Talk, “Gaming for Understanding,” Romero mentions that she has been making all sorts of games since she was fifteen. However, recently she has been focusing on games with education and history. Romero shares personal stories about her family history and why it is important to her that her daughter understands what she has been taught

The next element used in the story is irony. Irony is used to make readers think about the story and or it can emphasize the central idea. In “The Most Dangerous Game” Connell uses irony quite a few time. The irony of the main conflict is that Sanger Rainsford is on the the world’s best hunters, yet he ends up being hunted by General Zaroff. “‘ We’ll have capital hunting, you and I,’ said the general.” One would think the general is talking about hunting animals with Rainsford when he is actually talking hunting Rainsford himself. It is also ironic when General Zaroff is described as “civilized”. In a way, he is civilized— his fancy clothes,nice home, and spares no expense. Although he is civilized in that way, he enjoys to kill other humans
