Rainsford Alternate Ending

Earle Writes, “Yeah." That seemed to make him feel better. " OK, but if you need to cry, it's all right. Go ahead and cry." "When this is all over, I'll cry."

At the beginning, Whitney said “You’ve good eyes”, while on the way to Rio, to hunt Jaguars. Rainsford has hunting skills because, Whitney told Rainsford, “and I’ve seen you pick off a moose.” Rainsford has good strength and is fit because, he swam from where he went overboard

served alongside him. It is unfortunate that this tragedy has taken him from his family,

This essay will be about the book “The Most Dangerous Game” a book about a hunter named Rainsford who falls from his yacht and swam to an island called “Ship-Trap Island” and finds a huge palace like chateau. Living in that chateau is a hunter of different sorts named General Zaroff. I will be explaining why I think Rainsford bested Zaroff at his own game.

He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford said. The next morning the thought of killing someone kept on going through his head. Rainsford picked up Zaroff’s bloody body and dragged it outside. As he’s dragging it Rainsford takes it to the hounds and feeds the body to the hounds. Rainsford just stands still watching the hounds eat the body piece by piece All that's left is Zaroff’s mangled up body and Rainsford walks away like nothing happened.

Rainsford is a hunter, but he is other things as well. He is a soldier and has fought wars. He had been a philosopher. Even though he is a soldier, he cannot stand the idea of killing other men. He doesn’t care, or even think about, his prey’s feelings. As far as he knows, they have none at all.

Rainsford felt proud and terrible for what he had done. He had killed a man although Zerof and Ivan where not entirely innocent. He struggled to decide what he was, a hero or a murderer. He felt that maybe he only needed someone to come with him on his journey to get off the island and to keep himself from going insane. Rainsford went to go and free the prisoners or as Zerof said pupils of ship trap island. Only two where currently trapped on the island the rest must have left or died. Gregory and Wilhelm were looking surprisingly happy perhaps they did not know the fate that they were going to face if they stay. Rainsford said, “ It’s not safe here and you no longer need to stay here and be forced to train for another man’s amusement and I suggest you come with me or you can stay and eventually starve so I give you a choice come with me or stay and die.” Greg decided to come along, wilhelm thought Rainsford was lying and crazy so he stayed and trained soon Wilhelm will realize no one was going to bring him food and he will starve he locked the door so he could not get out and get food he made the wrong choice.

Rainsford doesn’t want to be a murderer like the strange General Zaroff. Rainsford was “a hunter, not a murderer” like the General (Connell 27). Rainsford considers the strange General a murderer and doesn’t want to become one. While on the topic of murdering, Rainsford doesn’t consider killing humans hunting, he considers it murder. Rainsford considers what the General is “speak[ing] of [as] murder” and not hunting (Connell 27). He doesn’t think hunting humans is hunting, he thinks if you hunt another person it is murder. Not just is hunting humans murder it is also not civilized according to Rainsford. Rainsford questions on if “shoot[ing] down men” is civilized when the General says it is (Connell 28). Rainsford knows when you shoot down men it’s not civilized and doesn’t want to become like the cruel General Zaroff and shoot down men. He won’t hunt again because he doesn’t want to be a murderer like

" Please don't shoot I followed your footprints and I figured it would lead to men and wheres there's men, there's food. I've been stranded on this island, when I fell overboard my yacht, please help me. " Rainsford exclaimed.

“It was truly terrifying hun. I wasn’t just gonna let that poor boy live the rest of his life with such a terrible man. I went downstairs and tried to free the

“Do not be uneasy about me. I am among friends. I will close with great respects. Your affectionate father. Farewell”

Is incarceration the best way to deal with criminals? In the article written by Michael K. Williams, “America’s Mass Incarceration Habit Needs a Serious Fix,” this issue, among others, are tackled. He shares a personal experience and startling statistics to outline the reality that is prison. Through the use of rhetorical appeal, we delve into the mind of the writer and learn why incarceration is not an invaluable tool for non-violent criminals. We also explore racial disparities and begin to see why prison should be discarded as a form of punishment for nonviolent offenses. I agree with the author, America’s addiction to throwing people in jail needs treatment.

He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided. Morning rises slowly as Rainsford lie sound asleep. Noon approaches and Rainsford wakes up saying to himself, “I have never slept this well or peaceful.” He gets up and looks out the window to where the hounds had eaten General Zaroff; they had eaten all the meat and fat off the bones. Rainsford swings open both the windows and yells down to the hounds, “Was that good or great?” The hounds look up and some wag their tails while others barked and whimpered sounding like they were asking for more. ”Sorry, guys, I have no more. That was the only cold-blooded murderer on the island.” Somehow, it looked as though the dogs understood him and they returned to what they were doing. Rainsford looks around the chateau, up

Like anyone else who’s normal, Rainsford wakes up, eats breakfast while listening to the news. He goes to work every morning and comes home at night. He eats his dinner and goes to bed just like anyone else right? WRONG, Rainsford, like everyone else, had a secret, but it’s not a normal secret. Each night Rainsford would go to bed but wake up at the break of dawn in the middle of the woods sweaty, dirty, smelly, out of breathe, with his hunting gear all used up, and no memory of the night. He was terrified by what he might have done to end up in a situation like that. However, that’s not even the creepiest part. Each day, as Rainsford watches the news, they report a missing or dead person. The dead people, the hunting gear, and the woods ate Rainsford’s mind each day.
