Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell. "And now," said the general, "I want to show you my new col

lection of heads. Will you come with me to the library?" "I hope," said Rainsford, "that you will excuse me tonight, General Zaroff. I'm really not feeling at all well." "Ah, indeed?" the general inquired solicitously. "Well, I suppose that's only natural, after your long swim. You need a good, restful night's sleep. Tomorrow you'll feel like a new man, I'll wager. Then we'll hunt, eh? I've one rather promising prospect—" Rainsford was hurrying from the room. What logical predictions can a reader make based on the excerpt? Check all that apply. The general will retire from hunting in the morning. The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt. Rainsford will embrace the general’s ideas as his own. Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.

Answer:

The two logical predictions a reader can make based on the excerpt are:

The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt.

Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.

Explanation:

This excerpt of "The Most Dangerous Game" shows the moment after General Zaroff reveals his new hobby of hunting men instead of animals to Rainsford. Since Rainsford is a famous hunter himself, Zaroff hopes that he will be excited by the idea of hunting other human beings. Rainsford, however, is against it, calling it murder.

As we can see in the excerpt, Zaroff wants to show Rainsford his new collection of heads - the heads of the men he has killed -, but Rainsford refuses to see it by claiming he's not feeling very well. He is most likely already thinking of a way to escape. Still, the general is oblivious enough to think he and Rainsford are going hunting the next morning. We know Rainsford is against it, and will probably refuse to do it. But the general has quite a strong personality. From those pieces of information, we can logically predict that:

The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt.

Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.

Answer:

  • The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt
  • Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island

Explanation:

If you have read this book you know that Rainsford has a conflict with Zaroff after falling into the sea. This man gets his own island to hunt and is a brilliant sportsman who has developed an innovative type of hunting games. Their basic goal is to train people whose ships are wrecked because it gives them food and knives for a few days. After that, Zaroff begins to hunt them down so they need to survive to win this kind of strange game and stay alive. The worst part is that he kills them if he can find these poor men.

For this reason, based on this, we can conclude that the logical predictions that a reader can make based on the excerpt are:

  • The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt
  • Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island

Can a character be both tragic and heroic at the same<br> time? If so, in what ways?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: This is called a tragic hero. Someone who is doomed to die, yet as a good person. For example: Hamilton was a tragic hero, he was intellectual, intelligent, and truly a writer, however he knew this about himself and became somewhat arrogant and conceded, his will to prove he was the best in end was his downfall. Another example was John Proctor in The Crucible, had he admitted he was in league with witches and the devil he would be granted his life, however hiding true to his faith and loyalty to God, he never once allowed himself to lie. Knowing his life maybe spared, but his soul forever tainted in the eyes of God. A tragic hero is a person of good heart and soul, who allows their flaws to get the best of them. Proctors flaw was his honesty at all costs, even the cost of his life.

Hope this helps ^_^

What is it like to live in the United States? Describe it on 50 words...
lesantik [10]

Answer: It depends on how much money you make.

Explanation: The United States is a diverse country. Americans by and large are workaholics, and for all that we have a reputation for being lazy, nowhere else is leisure and idleness less valued as a legitimate way to spend one’s time as in the US.

Due in part to its location, the US is safe from foreign invasion. Canada is an agreeable neighbor, and some of us even contemplate converting to Canadianism on a daily basis.

What they don't tell you about the US is that there is a yawning economic gap, and while the wealthy become unfathomably wealthier, the standard of living for everyone else is plummeting fast, to the point that it's actually disgraceful. We are the richest country in the world, and yet we have one of the highest rates of child poverty in the developed world. There is no excuse for that.
