Descriptive Writing Techniques In Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game

I believe Richard Connell used descriptive writing techniques very effectively in his short story, The Most Dangerous Game. Connell uses varying descriptive phrases to avoid repetition, as chapter two teaches us about. An example of such a technique is on page 69, when Rainsford hears the gunshots while standing on the ship. It mentions the darkness multiple times, yet every time it is described in a different way. Later this is seen on page 70. This describes the dense jungle in many different ways. This does an excellent job of keeping the story’s exciting mood. The author also uses similes and metaphors in his writing, as seen in chapter 3. An example of this can be found on page 68, as Rainsford and Whitney are discussing the superstitions
