First off, good luck! Very interesting topic.

I suggest several routes:

*Research serial killers and how they behave. They all are different, but feature similar traits such as: narcissism, childhood trauma, and brain damage/illness.
*Get into the mind of a serial killer. What is your character's motives? Revenge? Sadistic joy? Etc.
*Who are the victims, if any? Is this person killing a specific type of target (many serial murderers kill targets with similar appearances. Ted Bundy killed women who looked like his ex-girlfriend)
*How much empathy will your killer have? Most serial killers show little to no empathy or remors, but some do.
*How will your character kill victims, if he/she chooses to do so? Women and men often murder in different ways for different motives. Killers often leave behind a signature mark or keep body parts as reminders.

Which sentence in this excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game" contains an example of personification?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: The example of personification is in the sentence: He struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the <u>wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face</u> and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle.

Explanation:  The ability to <u>slap</u> someone in the face is a human characteristic.

Another possible example:

There was a chance that his cries could be heard by someone aboard the yacht, but that <u>chance was slender and grew more slender </u>as the yacht raced on.

Slender is an adjective usually used to describe a person's waist or arms. The word is also used to describe other things such as "a slender majority of voters" or "a slender chance of winning"

What information is missing from the paraphrased text?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

It could be the last one. The person who refused to sit down should be mentioned as well as her race should be mentioned (the white woman) . I think it's important for it to be mentioned because segregation rules talk about races.

That's what I think

I hope it's right:)
