1. I re-titled the story to the predator has now become the prey because Rainsford, an excellent hunter, is now the prey instead of the predator. 2. Rainsford is describing how he has to keep his nerve-24 “It was flight now, a desperate, hopeless flight…”- 26 ‘No general, I will not fight.”- 22 Each of these instances can provide a new title to the story, because each of these moment prove that Rainsford, the hunter, is now becoming hunted. 3 Some moments where Rainsford is facing an inside force is when he keeps telling himself to remain calm (witch would be fear), when he swims to the island (witch would be because of human instinct to survive), and also when he (Rainsford) says better luck next time (because he knows that he has survived General Zaroff). Likewise, some outside forces acting apon the characters could be when Rainsford traps Zaroff (both times), when Rainsford’s foot gets stuck in the quick sand, and when a wave causes Rainsford to fall into the sea. 4 In the story, Rainsford learns to be smart in many moments, such as when he thinks of traps to capture Zaroff (PAGE-26), when Rainsford jumps into the water to get away from Zaroff on page 27, and when Rainsford leaves his trail in circles to fool Zaroff. 5 I still believe that Zaroff won the game, because Zaroff’s goal was to obviously get Rainsford to play, because the text states that Zaroff has previously known of Rainsford for his character of being able to hunt, and probably wanted to show Rainsford that he was a very talented hunter too. Also I still believe that he won because, Rainsford didn’t kill him, he only made him sleep outside.

Applying the Common Core: The Most Dangerous Game Analysis Name: 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 Hunter and His Prey
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 and Rainsford are both hunters and their game is the prey. When Zaroff makes Rainsford play his “game,” Rainsford is his prey (Page 24). Zaroff is the hunter and every animal is his prey (Page 19 and 20).
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. Zaroff hunts Rainsford (Page 24-28). Rainsford vs. Ocean. Rainsford struggles to stay afloat on the ocean surface (Page 15). Rainsford vs. nature. Rainsford trying to survive nature as he evades Zarroff (Page 24-28).
Internal: Rainsford vs. choice. Rainsford has to choose whether to hunt humans with Zaroff or to face Zaroff in his game (Page 23). Rainsford vs. nerve. Rainsford is scared but must keep his nerve (Page 24). Rainsford vs. will of survival. Rainsford has hope and a will to live, so he strives to maintain that will (Page 24-28). 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. Rainsford goes from being tranquil to being scared when he is being hunted by Zaroff (Page 24). Rainsford turns from scared to resourceful and a survivor (Page 25-26). Rainsford turns from scared to clever as he sleeps in a tree (Page 24).
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 believe that it is a draw. Nobody wins. Rainsford beats the general, but at the same time replaces him, since he killed Zaroff.

1. I renamed the story Man Hunt Island.
2. I named it that because of the activities that go on at the island. The general goes around collecting people that he thinks are worthless and brings them to the island. (p21) He trains them to know the jungle. (p21) He releases one of them a night into the jungle and goes out, hunts, and kills them. (p20)
3. (External) The General vs. Rainsford. The general is hunting for Rainsford in the jungle. (p24) (External) The hound vs. Rainsford’s trap. The hound fell into Rainsford’s trap and died. (p26) (Internal) The general vs. His need to make hunting more interesting for himself. The general states that hunting has gotten too easy for him. (p20)
4. When he is first released into the jungle, all he did was run but he stopped himself and gathered his nerve and actually thought about what he needed to do. (p24)He creates a complex trail that was really hard to follow, but when the general follows it and almost gets him, he realizes that he has to work a lot harder. (p24-25) Rainsford makes two traps but both seem to fail so he swims out and escapes the jungle and somehow ends up in the Generals room. (p26-28)
5. Rainsford won. Zaroff didn’t kill him within the time limit, therefor Rainsford won. Even though he killed the general he was still the physical victor.

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. When Rainsford saw the evidence of a large animal on the beach with a .22 spent shell casing- page 16 When Ivan put a gun to Rainsford’s heart- page 16 When General Zaroff tells Rainsford that he hunts humans-page 20
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. General Zaroff- the game that General Zaroff “plays” with Rainsford General Zaroff vs. Tree- when the tree falls on general Zaroff-page 25 Rainsford vs. Quicksand – when Rainsford almost gets stuck in the quicksand Rainsford vs. Curiosity –when he was wondering what the nosies were and he climbed on the railing and fell into the water page 14 Rainsford vs. nerves- he kept saying to himself “I have to keep my nerve I have to keep my nerve.”- page 24 Rainsford vs. Fear-he is very afraid of getting found by general Zaroff 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 25 Rainsford is getting smarter than he was because he set a trap for General Zaroff which almost works for him. This shows Rainsford’s growth and developing because when he found a previous hiding spot he didn’t sent any kind of trap and he learned for that. On page 26 Rainsford tried to kill Zaroff. This shows his growth because at the beginning he was completely appalled to killing humans now he wants to kill Zaroff or at least hurt him severely enough to win. On page 27 Rainsford deceives the dogs by putting a knife with his sent on a tree. This shows his growth because at first he was afraid of the dogs now he is tricking them.
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 believe that Rainsford has won. I think this because Ivan needs to be replaced, General Zaroff says “…you have won the game.” On page 28. I also think this because Zaroff is feeding the dogs and Rainsford is sleeping in the bed.

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.
I would rename this story “Outwit”
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. The first example is when Rainsford tried to outwit Zaroff by setting an intricate trail that he would not be able to follow. Zaroff managed to follow it so that means that Zaroff outwitted Rainsford (pg. 24). The second example was when Rainsford set the tree trap. He tried to outsmart Zaroff by trapping him. This backfired, as Zaroff left with only a shoulder injury (pg. 25). The final example is when Rainsford outwitted Ivan. He outwitted Ivan by setting a trap that happened to kill Ivan instead of the desired target, Zaroff. (pg.27)
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 INTERNAL Rainsford vs Outdoor elements (in general) Rainsford vs His nerve (pg. 24,27) Rainsford vs Zaroff (in general) Zaroff vs Decision to not kill Rainsford (pg. 24, 25) Traps vs Zaroff (page 24, 25, tree trap) Rainsford vs His Conscience (in general)
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. One instance is on page 20 and 21 where Rainsford finds out what Zaroff enjoys hunting. You see his disbelief in his mood. A second example is on page 24 when Rainsford is first thrown into the jungle. You can see and hear what he is thinking and what he wants to get accomplished. A final example is on page 28 where Rainsford sleeps in Zaroff’s bed. You can see how he is content with the fact that he just killed another human being. He wasn’t opposed to killing humans like he was in the beginning of the story.
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 feel that Zaroff wins the game. Although he died, he got what he wanted in the end. He wanted to have Rainsford kill someone. In the end, Rainsford killed Ivan and Zaroff. This means that Zaroff won.

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 Hunt 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 22 “I give him his option, of course. He need not play the game if he doesn’t wish to. If he does not wish to hunt, I turn him over to Ivan. Ivan once had the honor of serving as official knouter to the Great White Czar, and he has his own ideas of sport. Invariably, they chose the hunt.” I chose to rename the story ‘The Hunt’ because that is what they refer to it as in the story.
General Zaroff and Rainsford are both hunters so they both know both know how to get around in jungles and they know how to survive in the wilderness. It is ironic that they are both hunting for each other because they are both hunters.
They are hunting each other in a forest on an island. General Zaroff and Rainsford are hunting each other in the jungle. They are both the predator and the prey.
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 Conflicts Rainsford vs. Fear (Page 25) “He stood there, rubbing his injured shoulder, and Rainsford, with fear again gripping his heart, heard the general’s mocking laugh ring through the jungle. Rainsford vs. His Thoughts (Page 23) “’Rainsford shook his head. ‘No, general,’ he said. I will not hunt.’” General Zaroff vs. His Thoughts General Zaroff has to decide whether he wants to keep trying to convince Rainsford to fight with him or if he wants to hunt him.
External Conflicts Ivan vs. Tree (Page 27) “But Ivan was not. The knife, driven by the recoil of the springing tree, had not wholly failed.” Rainsford vs. General Zaroff (Page 23) “’You’ll find the game worth playing,’ the general said enthusiastically. ‘Your brain against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Outdoor chess! And the stake is not without value, eh?’” Rainsford vs. The Ocean (Page 14) “The cry was pinched off short by the blood-warm waters of the Caribbean Sea closed over his head.”
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. Rainsford took his knife and tied it to a tree and he used it to kill Ivan. Rainsford also kills General Zaroff at the end of the story instead of just taking a boat back to the mainland. Lastly, Rainsford digs a hole and General Zaroff falls into it.
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 the game because he survived the 3 days and he also came back to kill General Zaroff.

1.The Evil Hunter’s Game
2.I thought of this title because it was a story about an evil guy who hunts humans and wants this pro hunter he just met to hunt with him or be hunted. The guy who wants the other hunter to hunt is also a hunter. The game is the evil hunter vs. the other good hunter.
3.Page 15, he was trying to fight the ocean water and that is Rainsford vs Ocean. Page 25, Rainsford set a trap for General Zaroff and the tree fell and hit the general in the shoulder and it is Zaroff vs Tree. Page 28, General Zaroff was in his room and Rainsford was behind his curtains and he scared Zaroff and that is Zarfoff vs Rainsford. An internal conflict is Zaroff vs his mind because he is trying to think of ways to hunt Rainsford. Another is Rainsford vs his mind because he was trying to think of ways to get away from Zaroff. The last one is Rainsford vs his mind because he made a decision to hunt with Zaroff.
4.On page 26, when Rainsford makes a Burmese Tiger pit and tries to trap Zaroff. Another is on page 24, when Rainsford made the tree trap. The last one is on page 28, when Rainsford is hiding behind his curtains. Rainsford developed overtime by making traps and getting better at hiding.
5.Both characters won because Rainsford killed Zaroff, but Zaroff only wanted to have Rainsford kill someone. Rainsford killed Zaroff so that would make it that Rainsford won. Something that Zaroff wanted from Rainsford is to kill someone and Rainsford killed Zaroff so that would make Zaroff the winner to.

Rainsford is a hunter The island is used for hunting- page 19 Rainsford is being hunted by Zaroff- page 23
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. water- page 15 Rainsford has to swim to the island in the cold, rough water Rainsford vs. Ivan- page 16 Rainsford had to awkwardly attempt to talk to Ivan but he didn’t understand him Rainsford vs. Zaroff- Rainsfrod had to try and defeat Zaroff in the game Rainford vs. self- page 24 He had to come up with trials for Zaroff to follow Riansford vs. self- page 24 He had to keep his nerve Rainsford vs. self- page 24 He had to be quite when Zaroff found where he was
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. At first when Zaroff found him, he didn’t set a trap but the second time Zaroff found him, he did set a trap. Page 24 and page 25 At the beginning he hid in a tree but then instead of hiding in a tree, he sets a trap. Page 25 and page 25 At first he tried to have a tree fall on Zaroff (page 25) but then he set another one(page 26.)
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 has won the game because if Zaroff won, he would’ve been in his own bed but as a reward, Rainsford got to sleep in his bed.
