Strangling

The short story, The Most Dangerous Game, written and published in 1924, by Richard Connell. In the story, a hunter named Rainsford is stranded on an island, owned by a wealthy Cossack named Zaroff. Who hunts humans, not animals. Zaroff then gives Rainsford a choice, to be hunted by Zaroff for three days, or to be killed by Zaroff’s manservant, Ivan. Rainsford chooses to be hunted by Zaroff and is given hunting gear. On the last day of the hunt, Zaroff and his dogs corner Rainsford, and Rainsford jumps into the sea. Zaroff thinks that Rainsford has committed suicide and goes back home, where Rainsford, who survived, kills Zaroff in his own room. Regardless of Rainsford and Zaroff’s similarities, the difference between their values makes Rainsford’s act of murder one of justice. Rainsford is upfront, benevolent, and just, unlike Zaroff. These are the main reasons why it is important that Rainsford and Zaroff are different. One way General Zaroff and Rainsford are different is that Rainsford is upfront, while Zaroff is devious and two-faced. When Rainsford first goes to the front door of Zaroff’s house, Zaroff meets Rainsford by saying, “It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home” (4). This shows that General Zaroff is two-faced and devious. He is being polite and civilized while saying this, but later in the story we learn of his true intentions: he likes to hunt people for fun. While Rainsford is in…

Cleaning Up What is Wrong Many people may argue whether or not it is necessary to clean up ocean pollution. Some believe that it is no harm to the animals. Others feel that pollution is a huge threat to the animals and can result in animal death. Even though individuals can respond by saying it is no big deal, ocean pollution should be controlled because pollution kills animals by strangling, stabbing, and poisoning. One reason people should pick up their trash is because trash ends up in the…
