A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are separated by only a comma. Looking at the sentences, the first one is fine because it is an independent clause followed by a dependent clause. The third sentence is really one independent clause with an appositive to describe the friend. The fourth sentence is just one independent clause. The second sentence though has two independent clauses. You can tell because in the first part of the sentence before the comma, there is a subject and verb; the second part also contains a subject and verb meaning they are not dependent on each other and therefore a comma splice.

Write a plot synopsis of the most dangerous game

sasho [114]

The plot synopsis of the 'Most Dangerous Game' is as follows: On a desolate island, a psychotic killer named Zaroff competes against the man he is after, Rainsford. Both men are accomplished and clever and have a keen interest in hunting. Rainsford swims to Zaroff's island after falling off a yacht.

Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game," also known as "The Hounds of Zaroff," was first published on January 19, 1924, in Collier's with illustrations by Wilmot Emerton Heitland.
In the narrative, a big-game hunter from New York City drowns after falling from a yacht and swims to what appears to be an uninhabited island in the Caribbean. There, a Russian aristocrat pursues him.
The big-game hunting excursions in Africa and South America that were quite popular among affluent Americans in the 1920s served as inspiration for the novel.

Therefore, Sanger Rainsford, a skillful hunter, finds himself abandoned on an island in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game." Rainsford is invited to go hunting with General Zaroff, another local hunter. Zaroff, however, no longer hunts animals for food. Considering mankind to be the most "dangerous prey" due to their capacity for reason, he now pursues them. When Rainsford declines to join, Zaroff makes the decision to pursue him. They square off until Rainsford finally manages to flee and hide. He eventually uses just his bare fists to slay Zaroff.
