2 answers:

8 0

Let's go through every answer to see which ones work as thesis statements.

A: No, Rainsford was not a vain hunter, and he never wanted to participate in Zaroff's "game".

B: Yes, Zaroff believes that as long as your game (in this case, humans) has a slight chance, it's okay to hunt. Rainsford thinks that's just murder.

C: Yes, Zaroff is extremely passionate about hunting. He thinks of hunting humans as just plain hunting, and he is passionate about it.

D: Yes, Connell makes great use of irony in this story. One example is at the beginning of the story when Rainsford is talking to Whitney, and Rainsford says, "Who cares how a jaguar feels"? Yet, when he is the one being hunted, he thinks his feelings should matter.

E: Yes, some examples of red and blood used to demonstrate violence and terror are the blood-warm waters that Rainsford falls into, the blood-red lips of the General, and the blood-stained weed on the island.

So, the correct answers are B, C, D, and E.
