At the beginning of the poem, he says why he does not love her. He doesn't love her as if she was a salt-rose, topaz, or carnation, but he loves her as if she was a plant that does not bloom. This means that he does not love her superficially, but he loves her deeply for who she is on the inside.

Flowers are beautiful things that everyone admires, but no one would admire a flower that doesn’t bloom because they could not see the beauty that it contains.

Write a plot synopsis of the most dangerous game
sasho [114]

The plot synopsis of the 'Most Dangerous Game' is as follows: On a desolate island, a psychotic killer named Zaroff competes against the man he is after, Rainsford. Both men are accomplished and clever and have a keen interest in hunting. Rainsford swims to Zaroff's island after falling off a yacht.

  • Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game," also known as "The Hounds of Zaroff," was first published on January 19, 1924, in Collier's with illustrations by Wilmot Emerton Heitland.
  • In the narrative, a big-game hunter from New York City drowns after falling from a yacht and swims to what appears to be an uninhabited island in the Caribbean. There, a Russian aristocrat pursues him.
  • The big-game hunting excursions in Africa and South America that were quite popular among affluent Americans in the 1920s served as inspiration for the novel.

Therefore, Sanger Rainsford, a skillful hunter, finds himself abandoned on an island in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game." Rainsford is invited to go hunting with General Zaroff, another local hunter. Zaroff, however, no longer hunts animals for food. Considering mankind to be the most "dangerous prey" due to their capacity for reason, he now pursues them. When Rainsford declines to join, Zaroff makes the decision to pursue him. They square off until Rainsford finally manages to flee and hide. He eventually uses just his bare fists to slay Zaroff.

In one well-developed paragraph, contrast the advice given to Ophelia by Polonius and Laertes. Each counsels Ophelia against a r
Marianna [84]
The advice that Ophelia receives from her brother Laertes is extremely different from the advice her father Polonius gives her. Laertes gently reminds Ophelia that Hamlet might really love her, but since he is in line for the throne he and might not actually be able to choose his wife for himself. He warns her to keep her affection "Out of the shot and danger of desire," meaning to not give in to her desires, otherwise she might ruin herself for future potential husbands. Polonius' advice is a little bit more aggressive. He scolds Ophelia for giving Hamlet too much attention, and says that there is no way Hamlet actually loves her. He says that his vows she "<span>must not take for fire", meaning she should not take his words for true passion. The overall difference between Laertes and Polonius is that Laertes is much gentler, and believes Hamlet might actually have feelings for her right now, and Polonius is putting more blame on Ophelia, saying there is no way Hamlet actually likes her.
