The Most Dangerous Game story as two major themes. The first one is reason vs. Instinct and The Effects of War.

On this excerpt, you can see that the theme is reason vs. instinct. The hunter thinks that hunting is a good sport even though it kills an animal that has no way of defending itself. The character Whitney defends that the jaguar has feelings, especially the fear of pain and being killed.

This way this character is used to blur differences between animals and humans, that both have the same feelings.

Write a thesis statement explaining your definition of true love

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Many people have lost the true meaning of love. Love is a very important part of one's life, and if there is uncertainty, it should not be pursued. The true meaning of love is to be in a complete and total bond with each other and care for each other when others flee. While many people try to achieve love in other ways, such as seeking financial support or having someone to support them in ways that they should do on their own, is not the true meaning of love. The ideas stated in the last sentence would help relationships but would blur the overall meaning of love.

Rangi, the Sky Father, held his beloved, Papa, and together they bore many sons who were not human, but rather elements of nature. These sons loved their parents, but Rangi and Papa's embrace was so tight that they had no space to move or to lead their lives. They lay in the darkness, constricted and unhappy.
