Whitney

Rainsford standing looking down knowing he can sleep tonight. The next morning he went to go to look for Whitney. Rainsford walked to the forest with a knife and a gun to protect himself. Also, food to eat. He walked into the forest where he walked when he was hunted by Zaroff. He had been walking for two hours or so and it started to get dark. He could hear the wind blowing through the trees. Just then he heard the bushes shaking like cheerleaders shaking pom poms. Rainsford grabbed for his…

Breaking the silence that was created once Whitney stepped into the house, he asked, “So, old chap. How did you arrive at the island? What happened on the boat, I was worried sick, and how did you get this chateau-” “Please, please Whitney. You mustn't talk so much. I fell off our yacht on the way to the Caribbean, and swam to this island. I will not explain any longer. But, tomorrow night…

on the sport. In the beginning of the story, two of the hunters, Whitney and Rainsford are discussing their personal views of hunting. Whitney feels that when you are hunting an animal, that the animals have feelings for being hunted. He thinks that every being has the fear of pain and death. He says this on page 26 “Even so, I rather think that they understand one thing, fear. The fear of pain and death”(Connell 26). When Whitney says this to Rainsford, he is showing that he cares about the…

of March, 1794, that all changed when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. This invention sped up the process of removing the seeds from cotton fiber. Now with Whitney’s new invention, a slave could produce fifty pounds of cotton each day. Now that's a big difference! Thanks to this the United States was able to profit from cotton. ⅔ of the world's supply of cotton is produced from the American South. But how did such invention come to be? In 1792, Whitney had accepted an invitation to stay at…

We had just been told by Mrs. Petroskey to read the short story called “ The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell and to talk to the text while reading it. I was sitting there reading the focus points on the front of the first page when it clicked. I had read the story before and had used the story to scare my sisters when we were younger. The story was one that had always stuck in my mind through the years with the plot and just the overall point of the story. While reading the story and…

Cotton was a crop planted in the South but was not a cash crop like tobacco, rice, and indigo. It was difficult to harvest and it became more difficult as slave use declined. Eli Whitney, an inventor and graduate from Yale University, saw an opportunity in cotton despite its inability to produce much profit. Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin in 1793, while lessening the amount of labor needed to harvest cotton, led to the increase in slavery and harsher conditions for slaves. Slavery…

off of that terrible island. Quickly, he thought over all that had happened over the past few days on the island with General Zaroff. He even puzzled with the idea of how he survived the extraordinary trials he went through. “How will I ever find Whitney?” thought Rainsford as he stumbled around the chateau in a daze. “Perhaps I can swim to Haiti, I should be close enough and Johnson lives around there.” Johnson was Rainsford’s old childhood friend who had lived two blocks away, he moved to…

There are two people, Rainsford and Whitney, that are on a yacht and they are hunters. They pass an island and Whitney tells Rainsford that it is a dangerous place. Whitney leaves Rainsford to get ready for bed. While Rainsford is alone, he hears 3 gunshots, which makes confusion and interest blossom in his mind. His interest in the gunshots has him falling over the edge of the boat, which then leads him to be alone in the middle of the water because Whitney didn’t hear him scream for help. He…
