The+Most+Dangerous+Game+Questions

QUESTIONS: Answer the following questions. /32

1. What is meant by “He lived a year in a minute”? /2 I believe that when he was being chased, His life and all the things he's done flashed before his eyes, along with his emotions. So all the emotions he would have felt in a year, passed in under a minute.

2. What is meant by “I am still a beast at bay”? /2 I think that to the General it was only a game to keep the hunger at bay. The hunger for hunting. The beast that always led the hunt.

3. In which sea has Connell set Ship-Trap island? /1 Caribbean.

4. How is Zaroff able to finance his life style? /2 He invested in american sergurity. 5. If Rainsford wins the hunt, what does Zaroff promise him? /1 To be dropped off at the nearest town, and offered the most comfortable bed to sleep in.

6. What happened to Lazarus? /2 He was the genreals dog. The one Rainsford killed.

7. Where does Rainsford spend the first night of his hunt? /1 He spends the first night in a tree, in the jungle.

8. How many acres did Zaroff’s father have in the Crimea? /1 1/4 of a million acres. 9. Why does Zarroff suggest Rainsford wear moccasins? /1 Because they leave a poorer trail, making it harder to track. 10. What caused Rainsford to believe Zaroff knew he was hiding in the tree? Do you think he was right? Give reasons. /3 Because he had dogs, He had hunted men, and those men probably did the same thing. The General had also read all of Rainsford's books.

11. How does Zaroff stock his island with “game”? /2 He stocked the Island with sailers, who's boats crashed and they get stranded on the island where he lives.

12. What happened to General Zaroff at the end of the story? /2 He lost the game, and I think he lost his life.

13. Inspite of being hurt, Zaroff congratulates Rainsford on his “Malay mancatcher,” why? /2 Because he likes excitment, and it keeps the game more interesting. 14. How do we know Rainsford is an exceptionally fit man? /2 Probably because he traveled all over, hunting animals, etc.

15. Discuss the state of mind of Rainsford before he lands on the island versus that after he meets the General. What is different? (Especially about how he perceives animal feelings.)/5 I believe that once Rainsford had landed on the island before the General found him, He was scared, nervous and probably felt caged. After he met the general, he thought the general was nice, until he spoke of the hunting, and the Rainsford probably thought that he was crazy, and once again probably felt nervous, and caged. He wanted to leave. Once the game started he felt led to instict, running, swimming, trying to escape. He fell into it, after that, I believe that it changed his veiw on things in a dirastic way. He found that valuing life is better then wasting it. 16. How does Connell inspire fear without obvious bloodshed/grotesqueness. /3 The way he writes, It catched the readers eyes, keeps them locked like a pythons hold. It was amazing how he wrote. The way he didnt exactly write bloodshed, but kind of held them, thinking that there would be something more interesting thenjust a chase.
