What does the phrase sporting proposition mean the most dangerous game

1 answer:

I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.

It was used in this dialogue:
<span>"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
</span>
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.

What is the best organizational pattern to write a personal narrative?

coldgirl [10]

The best organizational pattern for a personal narrative is the chronological order.

Chronological patterns are used to describe events within a specific time in a sequential order. A personal narrative, therefore, allows the author to tell a story and its events in a chronological order, including a beginning, middle and end within a timeline.
