        <description><![CDATA[In "The Most Dangerous Game," the skeptical tone of Rainsford makes for irony of situation and the suspenseful atmosphere of the macabre setting. For, in the exposition of Connell's story, Rainsford tells his friend, "Don't' talk rot" when Whitney puports that the jaguar feels fear.  "Who cares how a jaguar feels?" Rainsford counters when Whitney pursues the topic, saying that the jaguars even feel the fear of death.  Similarly,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In a short story, I would argue that the tone is probably the most important thing or one of the most important things. In other words, because the story is so limited, the content is less important and there is less room for things like character development or plot development. So, other variables and elements can leave more of an impression. Other things can drive the work. One of those thing is the tone of the work. The tone will color...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["The Most Dangerous Game," is such a gripping read because the author uses elements of the gothic tale to heighten the sense of danger in the setting.
The setting is ominous which is the usual for the Gothic novel. The surroundings are grim.When the main character falls off the yacht, the author describes the water as "blood warm waters of the Caribbean sea". This indicates that something deadly will happen later on.He struggles with the surf,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a really vague question and not well suited for this story.  There is very little introspection or life lessons to be learned from escapist, action/adventure fiction.
Although a great story, "The Most Dangerous Game" is not like Hamlet; it is not a meditation on survival like Shakespeare's play is on death.  Connell knows the reader is never going to be placed in a predicament similar to Rainsford.
With that being said, I suppose you...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[    Sanger Rainsford is a world-acclaimed big game hunter who falls off his yacht at night in treacherous waters in Richard Connell's short story, "The Most Dangerous Game." He swims to safety on a small island and discovers a mansion owned by a former Russian Cossack general and hunter who prefers a more dangerous type of game. When General Zaroff informs Rainsford that he will be the Russian's new prey, Rainsford takes off on what will be...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What you are asking is a question about the setting for the story "The Most Dangerous Game."  The story is not EXACT in its description of the island, but I do think that enough information is given in the text to make a pretty good guess at the layout of the isle.
To do so, let's head to the text with a few choice quotes, shall we?:
"OFF THERE to the right--somewhere--is a large island," said Whitney." It's rather a mystery--" "What island...]]></description>

1.  Rainsford was stunned and bewildered at this monstrous proposal. He replied, "Hunting? Great Guns, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder."
2.  Ship-Trap Island is aptly named. Zaroff has set up a system of flashing lights that indicate "a channel where there's none. Giant rocks with razor edges...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[    The famed hunter, Sanger Rainsford, shows great courage throughout his ordeal with the maniacal General Zaroff on Ship-Trap Island in Richard Connell's short story, "The Most Dangerous Game." As a big game hunter, his courage has been proven in the past while stalking his deadly game. After falling off his yacht, he survives the dangerous waters and swims to shore safely. After dining with Zaroff, Rainsford dares to disagree with the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The term "game" has a duel meaning in the story. The first meaning is as a competition between two rivals, and the second is using the term "game" as "prey," or something being hunted. The most dangerous prey, according to Zaroff, is a prey that can think, reason, and respond. This is why Zaroff hunts people- they are the most dangerous prey because of their sense of both survival and logical thinking. Because he hunts people, and because of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The answer to your question is "the book doesn't say."  That is a very unsatisfying answer, isn't it?  There are ways around it, though.  The text implies certain things about Rainsford, and from them we can arrive at what is probably a good guess at the man's age.
Most telling is when the General says: "Dear me, what a righteous young man you are!"  So what does this mean?  Well, according to Rainsford, the General is "past middle age,...]]></description>
