1. Re-title the story. The title of the story should reflect the development of the characters, how the story is shaped, and should also reflect a theme. The new title of the story could be The Hunter vs the Hunted.
2. Provide three specific instances (brief description and page number) from the story that support your new chosen title. Explain how each reflects the new title.
1) Page 24: “I’ll give him a trail to follow”. Rainsford comes up with step 1 of his little plan to trick the general.
2) Page 24: Rainsford froze there, every muscled tensed for a spring. He is trying to blend in and react as fast as he can so he won’t get caught.
3) Page 26: “Rainsford” called the general “if you are within the sound of my voice, as I suppose you are, let me congratulate you” General Zaroff was trying to play tricks on Rainsford.
3. This story contains both types of conflict. Identify three examples of each (three internal, three external) and provide a brief description and page number of each example. With each example, label it as Character vs. Specific Outside Force or Character vs. Specific Internal Force (i.e. Rainsford vs. Tree/Rainsford vs. Nerves).
External
1)Rainsford vs Zaroff- Character vs Character- page 26.
2)Zaroff vs Tree- Character vs Specific Outside force- page 26.
3) Rainsford vs pack of dogs- Character vs Specific Outside force- page 27.
Internal
1)Rainsford vs losing his nerves- Character vs Specific Internal force- page 25.
2)Rainsford vs being hunted- Character vs Specific Internal force- page 24.
3)Rainsford vs curiosity- Character vs Specific Internal force- page 15.
4. Rainsford develops over the course of this text. Find three different instances from the text (brief description and page number) that clearly identify that Rainsford is thinking, changing, and developing. With each of your examples, explain how that specific instance shows us that Rainsford is changing and developing.
1) Page 26: Rainsford gets stuck in the quicksand and tries to get out.
2) Page 15: Rainsford figures out a way to get to shore.
3) Page 25: Rainsford comes up with his trap and injures Zaroff.
5. Look at the last several paragraphs of the text. According to the story, Rainsford sleeps in Zaroff’s bed, meaning that Zaroff has been defeated. Who has won this game? Explain your answer. I think Rainsford won because he played a good game and came up with some good strategies to get ahead, even though he got caught in the quicksand he still found a way to get out and out run General Zaroff.

2. Provide three specific instances (brief description and page number) from the story that support your new chosen title. Explain how each reflects the new title.
On page 13 Whitney tells Rainsford about an island that is called ship-trap island because sailors crash their boats into the island and then they are never seen again. On page 15 he falls off the boat and swims till he finds an island. He then pulled himself up onto the island. (we later learn that he is on ship-trap island) On pages 20 and 21 Rainsford and the general are talking about hunting. Rainsford also finds out he is on ship-trap island and he also finds out why its called that. The general tells him that the sport he hunts on the island is humans (mostly sailors).
3. This story contains both types of conflict. Identify three examples of each (three internal, three external) and provide a brief description and page number of each example. With each example, label it as Character vs. Specific Outside Force or Character vs. Specific Internal Force (i.e. Rainsford vs. Tree/Rainsford vs. Nerves).

Ivan, On page 16 Rainsford finds a house and Ivan answers the door but what Rainsford doesn’t know is that he doesn’t speak English and Ivan is pointing a gun at his head. Rainsford Vs. General Zaroff, From page 23 to page 28 Rainsford is running from the General because Rainsford is the one he is hunting. Internal conflict: Rainsford Vs. Nerve, On pages 25 and 27 Rainsford is struggling to keep his nerve so he doesn’t have a chance of losing. Rainsford Vs. Hiding ideas, on pages 24, 25, and 26 He makes a trap and needs to think of a place to hide. Rainsford Vs.

4. Rainsford develops over the course of this text.

On page 25 he made a very weak trap that wouldn’t kill or slow down the general just hurt him. On page 26 he made a Burmese tiger pit that could severely wound the general. On page 27 he made a trap that wound kill the general.

The Hunted would be my new story.

With each example, label it as Character vs. Specific Outside Force or Character vs. Specific Internal Force (i.e. Rainsford vs. Tree/Rainsford vs. Nerves).

Rainsford attempts to kill General Zaroff which he never imaged trying to kill a person. (pg. 26-27) He also kills Ivan. (pg. 27) Rainsford successes and kills Zaroff at the end of the book. (pg. 28)
5. Look at the last several paragraphs of the text. According to the story, Rainsford sleeps in Zaroff’s bed, meaning that Zaroff has been defeated. Who has won this game? Explain your answer.
Your first thought is Rainsford won. He did not get hunted. He won the game. After thinking about it, the reader realizes that in reality General Zaroff indeed won. Rainsford fell in a deep slumber. I believe this represent that he was mentally and physical exhausted. Being hunted for three days, Rainsford has gone through a traumatic event. No sane person wants to endure the trauma of this. Rainsford will be changed mentally from this for the rest of his life. Also, General Zaroff wanted a challenge. Rainsford did that so that’s another way Zaroff won. Even though General Zaroff dies, he wins the overall game. General Zaroff won the most dangerous game.

- Page 28= He was serious, and he killed Zaroff (He wasn’t scared anymore)
5. Look at the last several paragraphs of the text. According to the story, Rainsford sleeps in Zaroff’s bed, meaning that Zaroff has been defeated. Who has won this game? Explain your answer.
Both won but lost. The point of the game was Rainsford not being found or killed, but Zaroff found him every time, he just didn’t kill him to continue playing the game and scaring Rainsford more. Zaroff knew where he was, meaning that Rainsford lost the game, but Rainsford was the last man standing. He both won and lost the game. So did Zaroff, he had to find Rainsford, and he wanted Rainsford to kill human. He knew where Rainsford was the whole time, he almost got to kill him, and Rainsford killed both Ivan and himself, so Rainsford killed a human like he wanted. But Zaroff wasn’t the last man standing, meaning he was killed by Rainsford, he also both lost and won.
