Answer: The Most Dangerous Game” portrays how civilized people will turn uncivilized if life depends on it.

Thesis:

People in the story start out civilized, then become savage, especially if life depends on it.

Topic Sentence:

“Thank you, I’m a hunter, not a murderer.”

1A. Rainsford is civilized because he refused to kill another person.

Text Evidence #1:

1B. Even though Rainsford will kill animals, he still has a sense of humanity because he does not want to take another man’s life.

“He had plunged along, spurred on by the sharp rowers of something very like panic.” 2A. Rainsford’s life is in danger and he is feeling the beginning of an animalistic terror.

Text Evidence #2:

2B. His concentration and reasoning is already being compromised by this terror as he runs wildly through the woods.

“The general said, ‘Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed.”

Text Evidence #3:

3A. Rainsford’s civilization has been discarded because he now takes the option of taking Zaroff’s life rather than a more peaceful option.

3B. This is the end of a transformation from a civilized man to a savage one caused by the fear for his life.

Rainsford proves that even the most civilized man can be turned savage in the fear of losing his life.

Which of the following sentences does not introduce a quotation correctly?

salantis [7]

Answer:

The chairman of the board: "We are meeting our goals for the quarter. How should we best use our profits?"

Explanation:

The above sentence does not introduce a quotation correctly.

The quotation mark is known to be a punctuation mark that is used in setting off and representing exact language which was made by somebody else. The language made by the person may be written or spoken. We find the use of quotation marks in fictional work when it is used to designate speech acts.

In the above selected sentence, we see that the colon follows after "the chairman of the board" without clarifying if he is making the statement that follows after the colon.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Oedipus is intensely angry when he kills his biological father and when he fights with Creon and Teiresias for giving him bad news.

Explanation:

Oedipus has difficulties in controlling his emotions, especially anger. That's because he is a person with an explosive temperament, who can't handle solving intrigues with ease and who expresses himself with violence. This personality trait not only leaves Oedipus a very intense character, but also leaves him a real person who often does not act rationally, being totally controlled by anger, leaving his story totally unpredictable.

Oedipus' anger may be exaggerated for us, but it was a common feature for the Greek society that created this play. That's because the Greeks at that time lived in a very violent time with several invasions and stress. Watching a character unleash his anger in a grandiose way could be somewhat comfortable for the Greeks.

Which statements about themes are true? Check all that apply. A theme is one topic in a text. A theme is a message the text conv

Andreas93 [3]

Hi! If I were you, I would refer to notes given to you by your teacher, as I am not entirely sure what level this is or what your teacher is looking for, or how your teacher may define a theme.

Personally, I would choose:

A theme is a message the text conveys.

A theme is supported by details in the text.

A theme is seen over the course of a text.

Again, be sure to double-check with your notes and/or teacher to see how they define it, but in my opinion, I would choose those three!

Hope this helps!

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Two themes to be explored could be madness/doom and survival.

Explanation:

Madness: when the line separating reality from imagination is blurred, people begin to act strangely, madly, and loose the ability to cope with feelings of anxiety or desperation in a coherent, healthy way.

- Why will this situation be developed? The situation of the four stranded seamen is condemned to become cahotic if their circumstances remained unchanged. The captain is already showing signs of desperation and paranoia in the form of a "stern impression of a scene in the grays of dawn...".

Survival: when people find themselves in life or death situations, a number of psycological mechanisms begin to activate to ensure survival: among them an increased sense of competitiveness. Also, people tend to become more resourceful to maximize the odds of preserving life, yet they also turn more viscious and territorial.

- Why will this situation be developed? The story is about four men stranded at sea, and though we lack information regarding their specific circumstances (food, supplies, tools), it is clear that their lives are at stake. The laws that rule society apply differently when the only concern is to remain alive and the circumstances are extreme.
