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 Hideout
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 24, Rainsford climbed a tree and hid until Zaroff went back to the large towers in which he lived. On page 25, Rainsford hid behind a bush after he set up his trap for Zaroff. On page 26, Rainsford runs off from the bush and began to dig a hole for shelter and a hiding spot.
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;
Rainsford vs Zaroff- Rainsford had to try and stay away from Zaroff for three days to be free.
Rainsford vs quicksand- Rainsford had to try really hard to pry himself out of the quicksand.
Rainsford vs dogs- Zaroff brought his dogs, so Rainsford had to run away from the dogs so they wouldn’t kill him.
Internal;
Rainsford vs conscience- Rainsford had to decide right from wrong which was whether to hunt humans or not.
Rainsford vs fear- Rainsford had to face his fear of being killed by Zaroff and try to not be killed for 3 days so he can be freed.
Rainsford vs anxiety- When Rainsford was in hideout, so when Zaroff passed he had a lot of anxiety, but he had to just stay still and be quiet.
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.
On page 24, Rainsford thought outside of the box by covering his trail so he wouldn’t be caught by Zaroff. On page 18when Rainsford met Zaroff, he was against hunting humans, but by page 28 he realized it wasn’t so bad after all. On page 24, Rainsford just tried to hide in a tree, but by page 27 his hiding/traps have really improved and has gotten more sufficient.
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.
Rainsford won because at the beginning the way for Rainsford to win was to not die. Rainsford did not die, therefore it was a win for Rainsford.

1. The Cat and the Mouse
2.Rainsford is playing the cat in the story for the last haft of it, Pages 24-28. General Zaroff was playing the cat because he played with his prey, page 24, and he is hunting his too, pages 24-28.
3.Three external conflicts are Rainsford against Zaroff, he is being hunted by him, pages 24-28, then Rainsford against Zaroff’s hounds, he has to avoid General Zaroff’s hunting dogs, pages 26 and 27, and Rainsford against the ocean at the beginning of the story he fell into the ocean is has to avoid dying, pages 14-16.
Three internal conflicts are Rainsford against his panic, Rainsford is trying not to panic during the hunt, pages 24-28, then Rainsford against Zaroff’s mind games he is distraught by Zaroff not just finishing his off, page 24, and Rainsford against his fear he keeps trying to keep himself together during the hunt, pages 24-28.
4..Rainsford first shows how he’s thinking during his first encounter with General Zaroff during the hunt, page 24. He is thinking about what animals he’s replicating and learning from his mistakes. Rainsford learns that Zaroff isn’t susceptible to traps but his dogs and Ivan are, pages 25 and 26. Finally Rainsford thinks through his actions before he does them, page 24.
5.Rainsford won because he manages to survive the three days as the story says “ ’It’s a game, you see,’ pursued the general blandly.’ I suggest to one of them that we go hunting. I give him supply of food and an excellent hunting knife. I give him three hours’ to start. I am to fallow, armed only with a pistol of the smallest caliber and range. If my quarry eludes me for three whole days, he wins, the game. If I find him,’ – the general smiles- ‘he loses.’ The text clearly states these as the rules

Applying the Common Core: The Most Dangerous Game Analysis
Name: Liz Walters
Directions: Individually, answer each question. Focus on QUALITY of answer over QUANTITY of answer. Get to the point, be specific, and explain exactly what you mean with EXAMPLES from the text.
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. All you can do is hide.
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 24 Rainsford has to hide up the tree because he knows that Zaroff is coming. On page 25 Rainsford had to hide in the tree because he didn’t want Zaroff to see him, so that his trap will be successful. The same situation is occurring on page 26. Rainsford set up a Burmese tiger trap and he hid again so Zaroff or his dog wouldn’t see him.
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). Rainsford vs. dogs. On page 26 and 27 Rainsford had to out run Zaroffs dogs and they didn’t catch him and kill him. (external) Rainsford vs. Zaroff. They made a deal that Zaroff had to try to kill Rainsford in three days and if he fails he has to show Rainsford off the island. (external) Rainsford vs. quicksand. In the beginning of the story on page 26 Rainsford quickly think of way to escape it. (external) Rainsford vs. anxiety. Rainsford faced his anxiety on page 24 and when he is hiding in tree and Zaroff is about to spot him. Rainsford vs conscience. When he had to decide the right or wrong answer when Zaroff asked him to hunt with him. That was on page 22. Rainsford vs. fear. He battles his fear when he tried not to get killed by Zaroff for three days. That was on pages 24-28. (internal)
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. On page 24 Rainsford thought outside of the box and tried covering his trail so he doesn’t get caught by Zaroff. In the beginning of the story of when Rainsford met Zaroff he was appalled when he heard the general hunted humans. By the end of the story he realized that he actually liked hunting humans. That was on pages 18 and 28. On page 24 was when he set his first trap. It wasn’t very effective. As the story went on they got better. On page 27 he set his last trap and it was more
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. Zaroff has won the games. Even though Rainsford killed Zaroff, his main concern wasn’t to kill Rainsford. It was to have Rainsford hunt humans and introduce the “game.” In the end Rainsford does like killing Zaroff because it says that Rainsford never slept in a better bed.

1. The Secret Game
2. On page 14 it shows that what happens on Ship-Trap Island isn’t known by anyone. They only know it’s a place that is feared by many, so they fear it too.
On pages 16-20 when Zaroff and Rainsford are talking to each other Rainsford doesn’t notice anything wrong with Zaroff. To Rainsford it seemed like they were just having a normal conversation about hunting. They were, until Zaroff mentioned that he was hunting humans. Rainsford had never known about what Zaroff was doing.
On page 23 Zaroff was trying to force Rainsford into saying nothing about what had happened on Ship-Trap Island if he wins the game. Zaroff doesn’t want anything to get out about what happens on the island. Of course Rainsford doesn’t agree, but it still proves that Zaroff wants to keep his “game” a secret.
3. Rainsford vs Zaroff on page 24. Zaroff attempts to force Rainsford to say nothing about what happened on the island if Rainsford happened to win. However Rainsford doesn’t agree.
Rainsford vs Ivan on pages 16-17. When Rainsford enters the house, Ivan is quick to threaten him with a gun, because he thinks Rainsford is a threat. He doesn’t speak English so even when Rainsford tries to explain that he means no harm, Ivan doesn’t lower the gun. Ivan only lowers the gun when Zaroff tells him to.
Rainsford vs the ocean on page 15. Rainsford had fallen into the water after hearing a gunshot and dropping his pipe. He then struggles in the ocean, attempting to swim toward the gunshots. He does make it, however he has a hard time doing so.
Rainsford vs disbelief on page 20. Deep down Rainsford knows that what Zaroff is telling him about hunting humans is true, but he still doesn’t want to believe it. He continues to question Zaroff out of disbelief of the situation.
Rainsford vs nerves on page 24. Rainsford is very nervous while running from Zaroff at the start of the game. He fights to not let his nerves take over when he’s running so that he can win the fight.
Zaroff vs confusion on page 28. Even if Zaroff knew that Rainsford had survived the jump he was still confused when Rainsford showed up in his room that night. He had to act like he wasn’t as confused as he was to stay calm and talk to Rainsford.
4. Rainsford gets more determined on page 23 when Zaroff brings up the idea of a hunt again in the morning. Especially when Zaroff states that it’s Rainsford that he’ll be hunting. He still isn’t ok with the idea of killing anyone, but I’m pretty sure that he thinks he’ll end up waiting it out.
On page 25 while Rainsford is in the tree he realizes that he’s going to have to do something to get Zaroff to stop. He gets more determined to try and win the game and realizes that if he has to hurt Zaroff to do it he will
On page 28 after Rainsford jumps out the window, he thinks he’s won and he gets prouder of what he did to win.
5. I feel like Zaroff won the game, because it’s clear that he could’ve killed Rainsford at any time when they crossed paths. It’s obvious that Zaroff knew Rainsford was there every time they were near each other because of the thinks that Zaroff did to mock Rainsford. I think that Zaroff started this game knowing Rainsford would win from the start which is why he didn’t kill him. Zaroff had plans to keep Rainsford alive for the entire game the whole time.

1. The Hiding Game
2 On pages 24, 25, and 27, Rainsford started playing the game, he tried to just hide and wait. No matter where Rainsford hid, Zaroff found a way to find him.
3. Rainsford’s external conflicts were against quicksand, the dogs, and the sea. On page 26 Rainsford approached Death Swamp and got trapped in the quicksand. On page 27, Zaroff released his dogs, and Rainsford had to find a way to escape. Another outside force was on page 15 and 27. On page 15, Rainsford fell into the sea and had to swim back on shore. To escape the dogs, he jumped into to sea on page 27.
Rainsford’s internal conflicts include fear, anxiety and his conscience. During the whole hunting game (pages 24-28), Rainsford had fear when he was trying to stay away and alive. On page 24, Rainsford had major anxiety when he was in the tree and Zaroff came under him with a pistol. On page 22, Rainsford had to decide whether or not to hunt with Zaroff.
4. Rainsford became braver throughout the whole book. At the beginning on pages 13-14, Rainsford and his whole crew were scared to even pass Ship-Trap island. When Rainsford knocks on the door and walks in on page 16, he became more known to what Ship-Trap island was more confident. At the end of the book on page 28, Rainsford was very brave. It was the end of day 3 and Rainsford had to face Zaroff.
5. I think they both won the game in their own ways. Rainsford won because he ended up winning and killing Zaroff. Zaroff also won because his goal was for Rainsford to hunt humans. At the end, Rainsford did kill Zaroff, therefor Zaroff won. I think overall Rainsford really won because he ended up living.

The Killer for fun
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.
“It supplies me with the most hunting in the world.” Page: 20 He’s implying about hunting animals with reason.
“Hunting? Good God General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder.” Page: 20 Rainsford found out Zaroff kills for fun.
“They can reason, after a fashion. So they are dangerous.” Page: 20 Zaroff is saying how he hunts people for the fact that they can reason making them more unpredictable and deadly.

With each of your examples, explain how that specific instance shows us that Rainsford is changing and developing.
“He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided.” Rainsford did not want to kill anyone on this island but since he’s sleeping in a comfy bed it’s suggested that General Zaroff was killed.
“He shinnied excitedly up a tree.” Obviously he’s excited at the idea of living.
“”Then he leaped far out into the sea…” Rainsford has an idea and is thinking reasonably.
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.
General Zaroff has won. Although the text says Rainsford slept in Zaroff’s bed, Zaroff wanted Rainsford to kill or be killer. So that means Zaroff is dead and Rainsford killed him. That’s what General Zaroff wanted, he wanted Rainsford to be a murderer like him.

Name:Averyana
Directions: Individually, answer each question. Focus on QUALITY of answer over QUANTITY of answer. Get to the point, be specific, and explain exactly what you mean with EXAMPLES from the text.
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 human hunting game.
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.
Zaroff said to Rainsford that what he is hunting things that can reason, and no animal can reason. (Page 20)
When Rainsford asks to leave, the only way he is allowed to be if he beats Zaroff then he is allowed to leave the island. (Page 23)
On page 26, Zaroff had a pack of dogs trying to hunt down Rainsford. Rainsford covers his tracks and gets away.
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).
Internal- Rainsford vs anxiety: when zaroff finds Rainsford when he is up in the tree, he probably has terrible anxiety. (Page 24) Rainsford vs nervousness: when he falls off the boat and swims to the island and arrives at the house and knocks on the door he probably was very nervous. (Page 16) Rainsford vs conscious: Rainsford had to choose if he wanted to stay and hunt humans or play the game and be hunted. (Page 23)
External- Rainsford vs quicksand: Rainsford’s foot gets caught in the quicksand on page 26. Another external conflict is Rainsford vs Zaroff when the general and Rainsford are hunting each other page 25. Another external conflict is Zaroff vs the tree branch because its nature and nature is an outside force.
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. He thought outside the box by covering his trail on page 24. Then on page 18 Rainsford when Rainsford meets Zaroff was against hunting humans then on page 28 he realized it wasn’t that bad after all.
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 the game. Yeah he didn’t last 3 full days. He still managed to get away from Zaroff and escape the island. Now Ivon is dead and so is Zaroff and he is laying in his death bed.

1. Re-title the story. The title of the story should reflect the development of the characters story is shaped, and should also reflect a theme. I chose the title bushes because Rainsford used them as cover most of the time. Imagine that the island without any green canopy. Hunting wouldn’t be a sport if the animals didn’t have anything to hide in.
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. Page 24 When Rainsford has to find shelter and someone to sleep he finds a tree. Even though he laid down a sick trail to stump Zaroff. Imagine that the island without plants, trees, or bushes. Hunting wouldn’t be a sport if the animals didn’t have anything to hide in. Page 25 When Rainsford constructed a Malay Mancatcher to at least wound Zaroff. Also on page 25 Rainsford uses a bush to watch how General Zaroff would react to his trap. All these are examples of how Rainsford used his surroundings to his advantage.
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). The most important external conflict is Rainsford vs Zaroff which would be character vs character. This starts at page 24 and goes to the end of the story. Another conflict is Character vs internal force on page 24 when Rainsford had to think about whether his trail was good enough. A character vs character is on page 27 when Rainsford is chased by dogs. Character vs Nature is page 26 when Rainsford gets stuck in quick sand and struggled to get out for a little. The 2nd internal conflict was whether Rainsford wanted to become a murder on this island. Final internal conflict is the very first on page 15 when Rainsford didn’t think he would survive the sea.
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. 1st time was when that gate closed behind Rainsford. His mind went into survivor mode and he knew not to go in a straight line. 2nd time is when he was talking to Zaroff in his mansion and we found out Rainsford doesn’t want to become a murder. Final is when Rainsford gets into the house and talks to Zaroff and has to feed him to his own dogs. He ends the story with him sleeping in Zaroffs bed.
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 no one won because Rainsford ended up killing him anyway. I think Zaroff wanted someone to take his place someone that’s as smart as him and knows how to hunt. Rainsford may not have noticed it he just thought it was him or Rainsford. Rainsford didn’t get back with his crew and he needs to find out a way to get back home. If anyone woni think it was Rainsford since he’s still alive.

I give you mercy.
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.
Pg 24. Rainsford is up in the tree and the general underneath him he smiles and blows a puff of smoke above him.
