6 0

<span>The bank wants the land to produce profits, thus, the owners are going to evict the farmers, allow machinery to take over the labor, and lastly, they're going to plant cotton. After the cotton crop kills the land, they plan to sell it. <span>And at last the owner men came to the point. The tenant system won't work any more. One man on a tractor can take the place of twelve or fourteen families. Pay him a wage and take all the crop. We have to do it. We don't like to do it. But the monster's sick. Something's happened to the monster. But you'll kill the land with cotton. We know. We've got to take cotton quick before the land dies. Then we'll sell the land. Lots of families in the East would like to own a piece of land.
</span>Hope this helps!

Examine the plot structure in "The Most Dangerous Game": locate the exposition, building action, climax, and resolution. 125 wor

Crazy boy [7]

The exposition is the introduction of the main characters, setting and main conflict. The main characters in the story are Rainsford and General Zaroff. The story takes place on Ship Trap Island. The main conflict is that General Zaroff hunts the people who land on Ship Trap Island and Rainsford is his next big hunt. The events of the building action are the different ways Rainsford keeps Zaroff from killing him: hiding in the tree, wounding Zaroff with the man catcher, and killing one of the dogs with the tiger pit. The climax of the story is the point of no return, something or someone has been so affected that nothing can be the same as it was. Some say Rainsford jumping into the sea is the climax while others argue it is when Rainsford confronts Zaroff in his bedroom. You can make the argument for either. The resolution is when Rainsford is sleeping in Zaroff's bed.
