Since the question talks of a lion and an antelope in Rousseau's painting, it is safe to assume it is regarding the painting "The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope".

Answer and Explanation:

Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game" and Rousseau's painting "The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope"<u> both concern the conflict between a hunter and a prey. However, there is an interesting distinction between them. The painting shows an animal hunting another animal. The lion, as a carnivore, is supposed to hunt to feed itself and its cubs. The antelope, as a herbivore, is below the lion in the food chain and is supposed to serve as food for the predator. Therefore, there is no other way for things to go, no other way for them to function. The lion will never become a herbivore, for instance. However, in Connell's story, what we have is an abomination. Man hunting man, solely for fun.</u> The following dialog between Rainsford and Zaroff is evidence of that:

<em>"But they are men," said Rainsford hotly. </em>

<em>"Precisely," said the general. "That is why I use them. It gives me pleasure. They can reason, after a fashion. So they are dangerous."</em>

<u>In the plot, general Zaroff is a hunter who has grown tired of killing beasts. Irrational animals no longer represent a challenge. He wants to feel some sort of thrill during the hunt, which is why he has started to hunt other men. </u>They can reason; they can think of traps; they represent a challenge.<u> If we were to compare this character to the painting, he would most likely be the lion. He is the ultimate hunter, the most skillful and analytical predator, who does not see his activity as murder, but as a mere link in the chain of life.</u>

<u>Rainsford, on the other hand, was once a lion as well, but is now an antelope. Rainsford is also a hunter. Just like Zaroff, he had no mercy when it came to the beasts he killed. But now the tables have turned and he is the prey, hunted by Zaroff. He will now understand the fear the hunted beasts feel upon being chased and shot at.</u> However, in the end, he will go back to being a lion. He will defeat Zaroff. Still, he will never be the same. Unlike a real, natural lion, who has no choice but to do what it does, Rainsford's attitude towards hunting will most likely change. He will probably grow from the experience now that he knows what it feels like to be on the other side of it. At the beginning of the story, fear was beyond his imagination:

<em>"Even so, I rather think they understand one thing--fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death." </em>

<em>"Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters. Do you think we've passed that island yet?"</em>

<u>The painting also shows a couple of other animals watching as the lion attacks the antelope. In regards to the story, the other animals may be the other men who were trapped in Zaroff's island. Instead of being hunted themselves, they were spared. The lion was too focused on the antelope - Zaroff was busy hunting Rainsford -, which allowed them to breathe and rest, knowing they would not be the ones running for their lives.</u>

Describe the relationship between Jem, Scout, and Dill. How has it changed?
Leni [432]

Answer:

At this point in the story, Scout is getting fed up with Jem's antics, and when she stands up to him she's disappointed to see Dill side with him and not her. This leaves Scout isolated from the group as they continue to get into mischief without her, plotting and playing alone in the treehouse and forbidding her to join. She's particularly upset by Dill's behavior, as prior that summer he had asked her to marry him, yet now he seems to have no interest in what she's doing or has to say. Dill and Jem have only grown closer, and in doing so they've pushed Scout out of the group.

Which sentence contains a prepositional phrase?
seraphim [82]
<span>The answer is C: "With the proper help, they'll complete the project early."

The word "with" is a preposition because it expresses a relation to the completion of the project. The rest of the phrase answers the question "With what?" Thus, "With the proper help" describes what conditions must occur in order for the project to be completed early.</span>

Write a essay about animal farm, the failure of the revolution is a consequence of ignorance and the abuse of power
castortr0y [4]

The social hierarchy and class differences of The Animal Farm caused its demise.

<h3>What is Animal Farm?</h3>

Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella by George Orwell that was first published in England on August 17, 1945. It tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer in the hopes of establishing a society in which the animals can be equal, free, and happy.

Animal Farm is a metaphor for the totalitarian system or the Soviet Union, the pigs for the society's authorities, and each of the other characters in the work serves as an implicit metaphor for other instances as well.
