Explanation:
The short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell tells the story of how a famed and experienced hunter became the victim of a much more dangerous man. The story also delves into the roles of the hunter and the hunted, and how the two roles are twisted in this story.
When Sanger Rainsford asked Whitney where they are, this shows that he is not familiar with the place and is his first time journeying to this place.
Whitney's statement of him having <em>"seen you pick off a moose moving"</em> shows how excellent Rainford is in his hunting skills.
Rainsford's statement of <em>"who cares how a jaguar feels"</em> shows his unsympathetic attitude towards the animals he hunts.
Whitney's prediction of <em>"it will be light in Rio"</em> shows he has been there before.
Answer: "And looky here—you drop that school, you hear? I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father and let on to be better'n what HE is."
Explanation:
In chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, his father is a vile man who was jealous of Huckleberry for having been the first person in the family to become literate especially whilst he himself was not.
He therefore resolves to end Huckleberry's education and tells him to stop going to school or else he would beat him and show people not to make a boy to become better then his father or his true self which is ironic because that is what education is meant to so, make a person better.
