The Most Dangerous Game Questions
- What wins out in the end: instinct or reason? How does Rainsford survive?
- Why did Connell make Rainsford an American and Zaroff a Cossack? Is there a political message to this story?
- Should we make anything of Rainsford’s initial attraction to Zaroff? Are the two men similar?
- Is the ending conclusive or sort of open? Why? What do you think happens next?
- Does everyone follow the rules of the game? Any cheaters there? Do rules count if only one person knows them?
- What, ultimately, is “the most dangerous game”? Does "game" refer to the hunted ("game animals"), or to the competition between Rainsford and Zaroff? Or both? Does that change the meaning of the story?
- Does Richard Connell appear to condemn hunting or condemn hunting animals—or both?
- What purpose does Whitney serve in the story?
A Christmas Memory Prompt
·
“A Christmas Memory” by
Truman Capote is a story of an unconventional childhood friendship between a
young boy (Buddy) and his elderly cousin. Their relationship enables them to cope
with the hard economic times of their day and it gives them strength to face
their fears. Compose a well-developed prompt tracing how their friendship was a source of refuge, courage, and
strength for Buddy and his cousin to cope with hard times and accept the
inevitability of their parting. Support
your claims with valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence from the
text, including direct quotes . Be sure to check your work for
proper capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.
