Description Of The Game Of Survival

In The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, Rainsford learns a very important lesson about assuming. Rainsford was a hunter that said that it doesn’t matter if he and Whitney hunt the jaguar because the jaguar doesn’t really know what is happening. Later in the story, Rainsford finds out what it really feels like as a huntee’s and realizes that he should not have assumed the feelings of the animal. As Connell said on page 55, “Don’t talk rot, Whitney,” said Rainsford. “You’re a big-game hunter, not a philosopher, who cares how a jaguar feels?” Some hunters believe this as well, unless they’re like Rainsford.

Here is how it starts. (Read the excerpt on the first page of the book to the students). Exciting, isn’t it? What kind of a story do you think this will be? Talk within your group and then add your ideas in a bubble chart. The name of the document you add to is on the Smart Board. Raise your hand if you are the recorder for your group today. Remember to watch your timer so you are done in time. (Allow students to discuss the question and add their ideas to the shared document.) Look at your ideas. I see you all did a great job of inferring what kind of story you think it will be based on the short part I read to you. (Discuss their various ideas). This story fits in with our habitat unit because it is a survival story. People have to survive in their habitats, just like animals do. So, what do you think would happen if you were picked up and dumped into an unknown habitat, like a tropical island, or a desert, or in the middle of a huge old forest? With no adults, just you and your brothers and sisters. Could you survive? (Let the question linger a few seconds). I’m going to count down from 10 and when I hit zero I want to see groups of three standing back to back waiting for instructions. Go. (When students are ready proceed). When I say, “go” I want you to turn and face your partners and discuss exactly what you three would need to do right away to stay alive if you were stranded together in the wild.” Remember what we have learned about what organisms need to survive. I have set the timer for five minutes. Go. (When timer goes off, bring students back to a full group on the rug). I heard a lot of great ideas as I walked around the room. Well done! Now, as I read the story to you, I want you to take special notice of what these children do to survive. Would you have done the same thing? What would you have done differently? What mistakes did they make? What

[“I order you to be silent! And I issue a collective challenge! I’ll write down your names, step forward, young heroes! You’ll all have a turn; I’ll give each of you a number. Now, who wants to be at the top of the list? You sir? No? You? No? I’ll dispatch the first duelist with all the honors that are his due. All of you who want to die; hold up your hands does modestly forbid you to look at my naked sword? No names? No hands? Then I’ll get on with my business I want to see the theater curved of this boil. Otherwise I’ll lance!]

Since the beginning of time, every species has been faced with their greatest trial in life: survival. Humans as a species have become masters of defying death. Even faced with overpopulation, itself the result of successfully defying death and sure catalyst to the downfall of a population, we as a species have nevertheless learned to cope and continue to reproduce and thrive. As individuals, each human being possesses one of the greatest wills for survival in our natural world. Our societal views of the value of life and the fear of death, our intellectual dominance, and our physical adaptability allow us to cling to life under the harshest conditions.

Chapter 1:“Came up short”:”Live downtown,we have the Marsh Eagles VS Tenney Tigers. This is such an anticipated match and one for the ages”. This is what it looked like but in reality it was more like this. “Welcome to Methuen,MA where we have the Marsh Eagles against the Tenney Tigers. This is just 2 teams just fighting for the next spot in the playoffs. Then I walked in and it was game time,the playoffs were on their way. The only real anticipated matchup was me and my frenemy (mostly friends) Andrew Lussier. He's about my height but not athletic compared to me, they came out to a fire start. Then we went on a run of our own and got the game to 2 points and we were rolling. As the half was close to the end,Andrew had a fast break layup

The urge to shoot the bow immediately is bursting at the seams, unfathomably tempting. Competing thoughts skitter through my brain, unrelenting and refusing to let go. My heart skips a beat with the bow in my cold calloused hands. Too many unknowns in this new, cruel world add a different degree of difficulty to this decision.

n the story The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, it is very hard to miss the odd behaviors of General zaroffboth before and after revealing his hunt for men. After revealing his intentions, zaroff acts as if his game is a normal part of his life and does not acknowledge his hunt as anything abnormal. However, these aspects of Zaroff's character does not necessarily mean he is guilty of his acts. General Zaroffis not guilty of murder because of his presumed insanity throughout the story and his lack of the perception of right and wrong,as well as a lack of empathy. In the story, Zaroff's personality is observed as a little more than strange, especially considering how open he is with Rainsford about his game. I am strong. Why should I

In the story, “The Most Dangerous Game” it portrays how enlightened individuals will turn uncouth if life relies upon it. First off, civilized is being educated more and being a good person who understands and respects others and themselves. Individuals in the story begin civilized, at that point end up plainly savage, particularly if life relies upon it. But being savage doesn’t necessarily mean that you aren’t civilized. Not all civilized people are nice, kind, and you know, civil. They have a bad side. Everyone does.

As the glowing bright mustard colored sun arose my bright pink chapped lips began to move. I began setting rules such as everybody needs to help each other, they need to be fair and not greedy with the food or resources, everybody needs to help on any project that we do to get rescued. You cannot go past the tenth apple tree until we run out of food and lastly if any of the rules are broken you will not be able to have any food for the day. As I slowly moved my head in a clockwise direction I saw their faces filled with shock but as they began discussing these rules to each other they agreed. Three days later, as I was walking back to shore the ocean blue water seeped through my feet cooling them from the heated sand. As I stood there my eyes widened, my eyebrows pushed together and I was angered and shocked. David, one of the survivors, was running past the tenth tree. I quickly began moving, my heart was pacing I could hardly breathe, I was running so fast that my feet began to burn. I finally caught him stretching my arm forward and pulling his red filthy soft shirt. I quickly brought him back to shore and called the other survivors. As his punishment David had to be starved for the whole day, as the other survivors saw the pallor of his skin, and pain from

This exhibit is an attempt to reflect the beliefs, values and attitudes that I as an individual strongly embrace at this present time of my life. My beliefs, values and attitudes have been modified and evolved from experiences and interactions with family, school, friends and religion as my life has progressed. I felt the best way to portray these influences in a simplistic yet understandable manner was to clearly arrange them in the corners of a board. The centrepiece of this exhibit is the Chinese chessboard because it symbolises the journey I have taken till this present stage in life and also my Chinese heritage. The simplicity of this exhibit may seem somewhat unappealing but each and every feature which is
