I would make the title “A Game Played by Another Game.”
1) Zaroff was playing the game of suspense because in the book it says that Zaroff was tracking Rainsford and looked up at the tree and smiled which made Rainsford worried. Page 24
2) Rainsford was also playing a game of hiding but he was also making traps while doing it. He made a trap to try and hurt or even kill Zaroff but, I doesn’t work. Page 25
3) Rainsford plays the game but he also uses different games to make Zaroff lose the game. In the game Rainsford plays a game to make Zaroff lose. Page 27
1) Rainsford vs. Zaroff- they are playing a game against each other. Page 24
2) Rainsford vs. Nature- Rainsford tries to go up a tree but it is hard for him. Page 24
3) Zaroff vs. Dead Tree- Zaroff gets hit by a dead tree. Page 25
Internal
1) Rainsford vs Nerves- Rainsford was debating whether he wanted to kill Zaroff. Page 24
2) Rainsford vs Fear- Rainsford faced a lot of fear when he was in the tree. Page 24
3) Zaroff vs Confidence- this may seem like a good thing but it gets him in trouble at times. Page 27
A. Rainsford develops when he is in the tree from a guy that doesn’t want to hurt anyone to a guy that needs to hurt someone. Page 25
B. Rainsford goes from a guy that is scared and worried to a guy that becomes fearless and brave. Page 27
C. Rainsford changes through the story by becoming smarter with what he does. He makes a trap to hurt or slow down Zaroff. Page 25
Since Rainsford has escaped Zaroff and slept in his bed, he has won the game. Which means Zaroff did not kill him and he has to let Rainsford leave the island unhurt. Although at the very end, Rainsford kills Zaroff and sleeps in his bed. Which could mean that Rainsford is becoming Zaroff in a way and Zaroff actually won but I would say that Rainsford won the game because the main objective was to kill Rainsford and Zaroff did not do that.

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.

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.
One reason is because Rainsford and the general were hunting each other. Another reason is the general hunts humans when he Rainsford first thought he hunted other animals. And the last reason is because they fence at the end of the book.

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).
One external conflict is Rainsford vs. the general. The general and Rainsford are hunting each other (page 25). Another external conflict is Rainsford vs. quicksand because Rainsford’s foot gets stuck in the quicksand (page 26). The last external conflict was the general vs. the branch because its nature and nature is an outside force. The general had a branch fall on his shoulder (page 26). An internal conflict was Rainsford vs. fear because he was scared that he was going to die from the general (page 23). The other internal conflict is Rainsford vs. conscious because he had to choose if he wanted stay and hunt humans or stay and be hunted (page 23). The last internal conflict was nervousness because when he fell off the boat and walked up to knock on the door he was really nervous (page 16).
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. And then on page 18 Rainsford when Rainsford meet Zaroff he was against hunting humans but then on page 28 he realized it wasn’t so 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.

1. “The Hunter and The Hunted”
2. Throughout the entire book, Rainsford is hunted by Zaroff. This shows that Zaroff is the hunter, and Rainsford is the hunted. On page 21, Zaroff describes some of the people he hunts, such as “lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels…” This shows that the general is still the hunter, and he hunts more than just Rainsford. On page 28, the hunter becomes the hunted. In this role reversal, Rainsford stalks Zaroff likes a hunter, and kills him.
3. Captain Nielsen vs. Fear on page 14 is an example of internal conflict. Captain Nielsen, a tough man, is scared of the island. Rainsford vs. Balance on page 14 is an example of an external conflict. Rainsford loses balance on the rail, causing him to fall into the ocean. Rainsford vs. Ivan on page 16 is an external conflict. When Rainsford arrives at the chateau, Ivan ‘greets’ him with a gun to his heart, and Rainsford has to figure out how to avoid getting shot. Zaroff vs. Malay mancatcher on pages 25 and 26 is an external conflict. Rainsford lays a trap to catch Zaroff, but he easily avoids it. Rainsford vs. Confusion on pages 18 through 20 is an internal conflict. While Zaroff tells Rainsford about what he hunts, Rainsford gets very confused because Zaroff is very vague at the beginning. Zaroff vs. Annoyance on page 23 is internal conflict. Zaroff recalls his previous quarry and how he was annoyed with the boring hunt.
4. On page 20 through 22, Rainsford is totally against the idea of hunting other humans. On pages 25, 26, and 27 Rainsford starts to lay traps, and becomes more ruthless with each trap. On page 28, Rainsford kills Zaroff. As time goes on, Rainsford’s views change and he goes from being against killing men to killing another man.
5. I believe that in the actual game, which was Zaroff hunting another person, Rainsford won. In order to win this game, he had to survive for three days, or kill Zaroff. At the end of the story, Rainsford kills Zaroff, therefore winning. But in the psychological game, which was Zaroff trying to taint another man with his evil, Zaroff won. At the beginning of the story, Rainsford was against hunting another man, and at the end Rainsford kills Zaroff, and seems very different from the beginning of the story.
