__10. What caused Rainsford to believe Zaroff knew he was hiding in the tree? Do you think he was right? Give reasons. /3__ <span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think Rainsford knew the Zarrof knew that he was in the tree because stopped abruptly beneath it. Once he did that he examined it for a bit, and when he was finished he didn't continue to search the island for Rainsford, he headed back to the chateau for rest.

Also, it is not a very well known type of trap, so it would've taken prior knowledge and planning. One more thing is that it was well concealed, so he would've needed to plan it out and be careful about it.

<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__14. How do we know Rainsford is an exceptionally fit man? /2__ <span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We know that he is a fit man because he managed to swim to the island without drowning, which would've been a very difficult feat in normal conditions, but at night and without knowing where he was going it made it even more difficult. Also he managed to run for long distances around the island and didn't rest until he could be sure that he would be safe.

<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__15. Discuss the state of mind of Rainsford before he lands on the island versus that after he meets the General.

__<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Protagonist: __ <span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The protagonist is Mr Ransford, a fit hunter who likes to travel for better game.

__<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">What type of character is the Protagonist? __

<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think the protagonnist is a flat, dynamic character. Although these seem conflicting, in the beginning he starts out as a stereotypical hunter. He cares nothing for the creatures he kills, as long as he gets too kill them. Rainsford couldn't care less for the feelings of those getting hunted, because to him they were put there for his pleasure. At the end of the story though, he sees what it's like to be the prey of a predator. Once he is put i this position he no longer feels that the opinions of others don't matter.

__<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Antagonist: __

<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Zaroff is the antagonist of this story. The antagonist could also be the enirnment, but it is only against him because Zaroff put Rainsford put him in the situation where he would have to fight against his surroundings to survive.

<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__Describe the setting:__ <span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This story takes place on an isolated island in the Carribean Sea. This island has few major predators, but the terrain is difficult to survive in. It has quicksand, trees and is surrounded by water.

<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The conflict is Man vs. Man and Man vs. Environment. __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Describe the main conflict: __

<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The main conflict is Rainsford fell off his ship, making him swim to an island he felt was deserted. When he arrives at the island he finds out that isn't in fact deserted, but inhabited by Zarroff, a controlling murdere. Zaroff is much like Rainsford, in that he likes to hunt, but he has taken it to the extreme. Zaroff hunts Rainsford, making him hide in the wolderness of which he knows nothing about.

__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">How does the Protagonist change over the course of the story? __

<span style="color: #392d76; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Rainsford goes from being a self obsessed, careless hunter to understanding how his prey feels. Although he didn't have a choice in the matter, he still changed. I think this is a really important change, because it shows that even when you're hard set in your ways, your ideas can be turned around.

__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Describe the relationship between the title and the theme. __

Since the title can be read two differents way, a game that you play or a game that you hunt, Ibelieve that the theme has something to do with being read two different ways also. The theme of this story is that no matter what others tell you, humans won't change their opinions until they have to.

__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">How does the main conflict help to illustrate the theme? __

I think the conflict helps to illustrate the theme of this tory because in the conflict Rainford believes that prey have no opinions and feelings about what is done to them. But as soon as he is put into the same situation as his prey he realizes that they really do have feelings. This is relevant because at the beginning his commrades are telling him that the animals must have feelings, but he denies it until he is forced to accept the facts.
