Most Dangerous Game

“The Most Dangerous Game” Contrast paper The most dangerous game by Richard Connell states that there was a guy named General Zaroff who believed in hunting humans. Also there was a man named richard who was a book writer and they both had different opinions. But what the General didn 't know was that rainsford was that was very very smart.and that the book and the movie had two different sides to the story. There is a movie and and a book and the book and the movie are very different. In the movie some people will say that rainsford was dumb founded because when general Zaroff was about to hunt them rainsford

As Rainsford asks questions and they get to know each other Rainsford starts to open up about the whole situation. The man whose name is Kingsley tells his story first then lets Rainsford have a chance to share. The man isn’t as shocked or terrified as Rainsford thought that he would be. After a long chat, Rainsford learns that Kingsley had also met Whitney by accident, but not known General Zaroff. Kingsley thinks that Rainsford is insane and has major issues.

He then wondered what to do from there and decided to jump into the sea and swim along the shore to Zaroff’s house. He had been swimming away from the hounds and soon made it to Zaroff’s bedroom to hide and waiting for him to arrive. Zaroff then finished eating and came upstairs. He went to the window then found Rainsford in the curtains and he was shocked to see him there. Zaroff then congratulated Rainsford and “Zaroff said with a deep bow, One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds.

“Desperately he struck out with strong strokes after the receding lights of the yacht” ( Connel 3). “ He began to count his strokes; he could do possibly a hundred more and then--.” (Connel 3). At the beginning of the story after Rainsford fell off the boat he swam for a long period of time, with “strong stokes” effortless. “A big tree with a thick trunk and outspread branches was nearby, and, taking care to leave not the slightest mark, he climbed up into the crotch, and, stretching out on one of the broad limbs, after a fashion, rested.”

He is polite and firm, but not aggressive. Rainsford stays in reality when talking about the dark night with Whitney (Connell 27). He does not let his imagination get the better of him and stays focused on his treacherous journey. Staying calm, cool, and collected benefits Rainsford in his journey to and on Ship Trap

As they set out dark clouds covered the moonlight making their escape easier. A storm came and suddenly, halfway to the shore, the boat was turned over causing the occupants

No matter what he did, those on the yacht could not her him. He continued to yell until his voice was only a whisper. After what seemed like hours of being half drowned in the ocean, a quite, accented voice whispered in his ear. The pounding rain and thrashing sea should’ve drowned out his words, but Rainsford could hear them as if they were his own thoughts. “Who shall feed the hounds tonight, Rainsford?”

This is when Rainsford escapes the house. He gets Eve, and they find the boat that Zaroff said they could use if they won. When they were in the boat leaving, Eve notices that Zaroff is still not dead. He is about to shoot them with his bow and arrow, but since he had already been stabbed, he lost his balance and ends up falling out of the window. Rainsford and Eve now continue on their journey home.

Rainsford hesitated. He heard the hounds. Then he leapt far out into the sea. Once his body smacked the ocean, the waves rumbled as they viciously crashed against the rocks. Thunder crackled violently in the air.

“The lights of the yacht became faint and ever-vanishing fireflies; then they were blotted out entirely by the night” (Connell, Par. 33) Connell definitely states his foreboding mood to the story with this quote. Before Rainsford fell overboard he looked out past the boat and saw nothing. “I could sleep without closing my eyes;” Connell sets a very eerie mood here just showing how dark it is out in the Caribbean sea but you don't think that much of it until “As the blood-warm waters of the Caribbean Sea dosed over his head.”

In my own opinion i think that all men are created equal. After reading “The Most Dangerous Game”, “The Value of Human Life”, “The Value of a Human Life: 129,000”, and “The Value of One Life” i can say all human life is valued equal. It shouldn’t matter if you are black, white, chinese, mexican, or any other race. We should all be treated the same. Nobody wants to be the outcast.

Conflict is very important to a story it makes it interesting, some stories have one conflict some have more than one. A great example of multiple conflicts in a story is in “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell man versus man is the most relevant conflict. Man versus nature is the first conflict seen in the story. Man versus himself is a conflict between Rainsford, the story's protagonist, and himself throughout the short story. In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, there is man versus man, man versus nature and man versus himself.

“After swimming for what seemed like forever, I heard an ear piercing sound off in the distance. I decided to swim in the direction of what I knew was a gun-shot, knowing that where there is men, there is food.” Rainsford explained. He later went on to tell about how he weakly pulled himself onto a rocky shore, knowing that he had now escaped from the tortuous waters, he went into a deep sleep.

When placed in this situation, Rainsford has transformed from being the hunter to becoming the huntee, and is now in the position of all the animals he has carelessly killed before. Towards the end of the story, while Rainsford is being hunted by Zaroff and his pack of dogs, the narrator describes how Rainsford feels by saying that: “Rainsford now knew how an animal at bay feels” (22). The sensation of extreme fear and worry had finally gotten to him, and he can relate to how the animals he hunt may
