The most dangerous game by richard connell
The short story The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell is about the hunter and the hunted but later in the story it becomes ironic because it turns into a game were the hunter becomes the hunted. It turns into a chase of competition and of survival. Two sailors Rainsford and his partner Whitney sailed in to the darkness of the of sea. Their purpose was to hunt, they called it the " greatest sport". They were hunters and headed to the Amazon to hunt vicious animals such as Jaguars, and tigers. They sailed to an island called "Ship-Trap Island". Sailors feared this island and had curious dread of such a scarry place. The sky was filled with darkness when suddently he heard Three gun shots that were fired, and heard them again and again. Then he heard a scream while smoking a pipe when suddently the pipe fell and as he tried to reach for it he whent down into the sea were the waves
He was indeed a sporstman who invented a new sensation of the hunting game. the last day he set up a pitfall and while Zarroff and his servant were serching, his servant unfortunately fell into the pit. The next day he set up a trap but Zaroff did'nt fall for it and he almost got caught when Zaroff was right next to the bushes were Rainsford was hiding. I like this short story because Rainsford was wise in making traps wich allowed Zaroff to take more time trying to find him and did them successfully wich helped him survive those three days. His game was to train those men who's ships were wrecked and ended up in that island, and then provide them with food and a knife for three days. There he met General Zaroff who bought the island to hunt. Rainsford swam towards the screams and ended up in the Island. He was let loose into the island were he was to prepare himself for the most dangerous game of his life, the survival of the fittest. I also liked how the story ended it was kind of ironic the way Rainsfored changed the game around and became the hunter and Zaroff became the hunted. The first night was panicking and worried Rainsford as he hidded on top of a tree. Rainsford rested and the next morning had a dispute with Zaroff and told him that this hunting style was to brutal. swallowed his screams. Once they were trained they were led out into the island as a head start while Zaroff chase after them and tried to hunt them down. Rainsford got out of the Island trying to escape by swimming out into the ocean and swam back to the mansion and when Zaroff returned Rainsford switched the game around and proposed him to become the hunted.
