“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. This also means Rainsford has won the hunt and is finally free and does not have to worry about hunting humans or ever being the prey again. The ending didn't tell you a lot, but told you some main things so you know and can put together with what happened next. All of these quotes explain how Rainsford outsmarted Zaroff and won “The Most Dangerous Game.”…
Rainsford used reason to survive General Zaroffs incredible hunting skills. First, when he was let put to run for his life and hide he used reason and started “recalling…all the dodges of the fox” (Connell, 10) He ran loops and reran the trails to confuse Zaroff just like the fox did while he was hunting. Second, after weaving a troubling trail Rainsford had to “play the cat of the fable” (11). He climbed up a large tree, rested and waited. He ad a wave of confidence thinking that Zaroff could not find him, but the general was there, under the tree. He made it seem like he knew Rainsford was there but then walked away as if he didn’t see anything. Third, while finding himself sinking in quicksand Rainsford thought back to when he “had dug…

Rainsford wants to defend himself, which is why he would execute General Zaroff. Perhaps the most obvious piece of evidence states "Good God, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder,"(lines 381-382). To spice it up, instead of hunting animals, General Zaroff hunts humans, and chases them. Rainsford thinks that it is a joke. General Zaroff has humans in his basement waiting for the hunting game to begin. It is clear that since he kills humans, he will probably kill Rainsford. In order to stop this 'dangerous' game, Rainsford has to kill General Zaroff. This also supports that he killed General Zaroff because he wanted to save the peoples lives that were about to die for no reason. One of the most damaging pieces of evidence is "The fellow…

Not only do they protect and kill, but they provide a feeling of comfort to a soldier because the soldiers are in control of their weapons.

The development of a character and how the character is perceived in a story really helps readers to figure out how the character is portrayed in the story. The Scarlet Letter is a story about a woman named Hester who has been convicted of adultery and has been sentenced to wearing the letter “A” on her chest for the rest of her life unless something changes. We first see Roger Chillingworth when Hester is let out of jail to stand on the scaffold, also known as the place of public shame, as part of her punishment, yet no one knew that it was Hester’s husband. Roger Chillingworth is not as much a character, but more of a symbol of sin and how the sin of people can change the way they act and the way they look. Roger Chillingworth’s appearance, the way he acts, and what the townspeople think about him progressively changes through the course if the story.…

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…
As a result, He now understands how the animals feel now that he has been hunted. Rainsford is arguing with the general that animals cannot reason. ”[He] [says] no animal[s] can reason”Complain Rainsford” (Connell 27). Know that he knows how the animals feel he thinks that no animal can reason to his disagreement. General Zaroff has now found Rainsford. ”Rainsford heard his breath the general's [attention] had went up to the tree”But the [edge] eyes of the hunter [had] stopped before they [could] reach the limb where Rainsford [had] lay[ed]; a [grin] [began] [to] spread over his brown face” (Connell 33). Now that rainsford understands how the animals feel when General Zaroff found him every muscle in his body had tensed. Rainsford has…
I think Marcel Dunchamp was scandalous because he was the only one that used slow motion.The reason why I think he created motion was because in the article it gives information about him creating motion It says “Duchamp portrays his subject in motion, walking down a flight of stairs.” This quote explains how Marcel compared to his other paintings and the paintings didnt even look as real and the pictures didnt come out lookin more detailed like the image we looking at right now.A critic stated “An explosion in a shingle factory.” This quote explains how the shapes and sizes were shown in the Painting above. These quotes and my background know knowledge shows how Duchamps art was…
