Most+Dangerous+Game

1. What is meant by “He lived a year in a minute”? 1/2 The phrase "He lived a year a minute" means that he lives life fast, he likes being on the edge ding dangerous things instead of taking the easy safe road. 2. What is meant by “I am still a beast at bay”? 1/2 The quote "I am still a beast at bay" means that he is still controlling himself but there is a beast that can be unleashed at anytime. 3. In which sea has Connell set Ship-Trap island? 1/1 Connell has set Ship Trap Island in the Caribbean. 4. How is Zaroff able to finance his life style? 1/2 Zaroff has investments in american securities which allow him to make enough money without leaving his island. 5. If Rainsford wins the hunt, what does Zaroff promise him? 1/1 Zaroff promises Rainsford his freedom and his life. I know this because on page 34 Zaroff lays out the rules. 6. What happened to Lazarus? 1/2 Lazarus chased a man who ran into quicksand and then drowned and died. 7. Where does Rainsford spend the first night of his hunt?1 /1 Rainsford doesn't really sleep because he's so anxious, however he hides out at the top of a large tree. 8. How many acres did Zaroff’s father have in the Crimea? 1/1 Zaroff's father owned a quarter of a million acres in Crimea. 9. Why does Zarroff suggest Rainsford wear moccasins? 0/1 Zaroff suggests Rainsford should wear moccasins because they don't leave prints for Zarroff to follow and this will make it harder for Zaroff to find him. 10. What caused Rainsford to believe Zaroff knew he was hiding in the tree? Do you think he was right? Give reasons. 2/3 He stopped right at the tree and started to blow smoke rings up into the tree, then he laughed and walked away. I believe Rainsford was right in believing Zaroff knew Rainsford was in the tree because Zaroff would want to put fear into Rainsford and make Rainsford more desperate so that Rainsford would become more of an animal. 11. How does Zaroff stock his island with “game”? 1/2 He sets up big lights to indicate channel where is nothing but jagged rocks, then sailors would see that and steer their boats through the fake channels 12. What happened to General Zaroff at the end of the story? 1/2 He thinks that Rainsford had killed himself by drowning in the ocean. However when he goes back to his mansion he finds Rainsford waiting for him and he gets killed by Rainsford. 13. Inspite of being hurt, Zaroff congratulates Rainsford on his “Malay mancatcher,” why?2 /2 Because it's clever and he is happy because he finally has a challenge. 14. How do we know Rainsford is an exceptionally fit man? 1/2 He was able to swim his way to safety, run around and he's a great hunter. In the three days of the hunt he was able to do amazingly physical like dig a large hole in a short amount of time. 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.)3/5 Before he doesn't care about animal's feelings, he just thinks about being more powerful and being superior. However, after being hunted and realizing what it's like to be the hunted not the hunter he has different feelings and probably doesn't want to hunt again. He realizes the wrong of his earlier ways, and now thinks the opposite of before. 16. How does Connell inspire fear without obvious bloodshed/grotesqueness. 2/3 He promises bloodshed and makes you think it's going to happen but it never does, however he leads up to it very well. He infers bloodshed and you know that somebody was shot and killed and that it was grotesque but he never describes it in detail and so you have to put the peaces together yourself.
