What is the sentence structure that makes the object the focus of the sentence?

Answer:

Passive Voice and Active Voice Structures

A passive sentence structure makes the object the focus of the sentence.

A passive sentence structure follows the following pattern: Object + “be” + Verb + (optional “by” phrase) + Subject.

Using this passive structure,  the object of the verb or the receiver of the action is moved to the front position while the doer of the action moves to the end of the sentence.  This grammatical arrangement is usually followed by a “by phrase”.  

This structure is mainly used when the doer is not important.  Therefore, the speaker or writer showcases the object and the action done to the object, thereby disregarding the doer.  It is the opposite of an active sentence structure where the doer is the subject of the sentence, while the receiver of the action is the object.

Thus, the focus of a passive sentence structure is on the person or thing affected by the action of the doer and not on the doer.

Nookie1986 [14]

The darker actions and the interactions or emotions given in the story is described below.

Explanation:

The first thing that you need to do is determine what dark actions are, and how they apply to the story.  A dark action would be something that a character does that shows something tat is dark, ie evil, bad, negative.

In the story The Most Dangerous Game, the character Sanger Rainsford, a famous big-game hunter, is stranded on an island, and found by General Zaroff, another big-game hunter.  Zaroff hunts humans in order to experience a ore challenging and engaging hunt.  He then hunts Rainsford.  Rainsford ultimately has to decide if he will kill or be killed.

There are a lot of dark actions in this story, and the above quick synopsis highlights two of them: General Zaroff decides to hunt humans for sport, and Rainsford has to decide whether to kill Zaroff or get killed.  The intentions and eotions, as you can imagine, are diverse: fear of death, anger at being hunted, the need to survive... there are more, but this will give you a start.

When thinking about how the drama changes if characters overcame the darker emotions, think about this:  Imagine how the story would change if Rainsford decided to not participate, and just sat down instead of being hunted.  Imagine what would happen if Zaroff decided to quit hunting Rainsford.  Would the men become friends, help each other?  Or would one of them die regardless?
