The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell
This is our last Blog of this year, and our short story reading class will begin again on January 13, 2016. Last week's reading, The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell was by far the most popular story we have read since August. There are four characters: Ivan, a Cossack, and General Zaroff's assistant. Whitney, a friend of Sanger Rainsford who feels anxious as they sail next to the mysterious Ship-Trap Island. General Zaroff, a Cossack who is an elegant speaker, and a eager hunter that enjoys creating a hunting game with people whose boats sink in front of his island. Sanger Rainsford, a renowned hunter who is intelligent and has years of hunting experience. The story consisted of Rainsford falling off the boat, swimming to the Ship-Trap Island, and meeting General Zaroff. From there, General Zaroff tells Rainsford about how his hunting has become less than he wants, so he purposely leads boats to sink outside his island and has the crews land on the shore of his island. It is then he has a new group to train, to strengthen, and then let's them go and he hunt for them. Sanger Rainsford feels General Zaroff is absurd, and then later becomes one for General Zaroff hunt for. In the end of the story, Sanger Rainsford beats General Zaroff in the three day hunt and kills him and sleeps in General Zaroff's bed. It is excellent story that I highly recommend you read. After reviewing The Most Dangerous Game, we went over what we have read since August and chose the top six stories. Here are the ones we chose in no particular order.
