Whitney,
My dearest friend! I bet you are wondering where I went off to that night we talked. I did in fact leave the ship, but not because I wanted to. I fell overboard sometime that night and had to swim the island nearest to me. It is a very long story, but it is also an interesting one.
Recently (in recent times) I was rescued (recovered) from Ship-Trap Island, where I was being hunted by a maniac (mad person, lunatic, psychopath) by the name of General Zaroff. I ended up on the island because I heard an odd (bizarre, peculiar) noise that sounded like gunshots coming from somewhere on the island from the yacht that I was on. I had gotten up on the railing to possibly see what was going on, but as I did my pipe fell out of my mouth and went

At first I thought it was a mirage, because why would there be such a luxurious mansion in such an odd place. I went up to the house and knocked on the door, and when it opened, there stood the largest man I had ever seen, holding a revolver up to my face. He lowered the gun and stood to attention as a man came down the staircase behind him. The man spoke and told me that was General Zaroff. He allowed me inside, lent me some clothes, and let me stay for dinner. As we were eating, I became very wary of the fact that every time I looked at him, he was also staring at me. As we started talking, he told me about the most dangerous game that he had ever hunted, and how he hunted them on this island. I was very anxious to hear about the kind of game he hunted, but he never told me what it was, so I had to guess. One thing he said stuck out to me, and then with fear, I realized the kind of game he hunted. He hunted people! I thought he must be joking, but as he went on about it, I realized how completely serious he was. He said that the men he hunted had a choice, that they could be hunted by him, or they could stay and be whipped by Ivan, the giant man that held a gun to my face earlier that night.I told him that I must go to bed, because I wasn’t feeling well, which was the …show more content…
I climbed up a nearby tree, hoping that they would pass right by me. I saw General Zaroff, and this time he had brought Ivan with him. I knew I had to make a plan quick. I wiggled down the tree an fastened my hunting knife to a small tree, so that when someone passed by, they would get struck with the blade. As I heard the pack stop, I climbed up a nearby tree to see what had happened. The knife had struck Ivan. I jumped out of the tree and ran, and once I reached the edge of the cliff, I jumped off. I fell into the ocean below me, and swam to the mansion, for I could see it across from where I was. I made it by nightfall, and I snuck in. I knew he had to die, or he would kill me. I snuck into his room, but he knew I was there. He said that one of us would be fed to the dogs, and the other one would live. Obviously, I was the one to make it out
On 03/30/2015, at approximately 1530 hours, your affiant was dispatched to a medical call in the parking lot of Redner's quick stop. After completing and clearing from the call, I was made aware that both occupants in the vehicle are suspended. I proceeded behind the white Suzuki and activated my emergency lights stopping the vehicle on State Route 924 by the land fill. I spoke with the male operator who was as Robert John McManus.
On April 21, 2017 I was dispatched to the area of Old Tom Box Road and Stairway to Heaven drive. Upon arrival, I spoke with James Dodson, who stated he was east bound Old Tom Box road when he saw a toddler on the yellow line. He stated that he stopped and secured the child. At that point a second vehicle, occupied by Tammy Simpson and Brian McGee approached, also east bound they also stopped and called 911.
On Thursday, 07/09/2015, at approximately 1722 hours, I, Deputy Stacy Stark #1815, responded to 147 Hillendale Dr., Murphysboro, IL 62966 to speak with the reporting party, Gary W. Darnell (M/W, DOB: 07/10/1956) and his wife, also the victim, Jane M. Darnell (F/W, DOB: 03-31-1958) about a reckless driving complaint. Jackson County Dispatch received the call for service via a non-emergency line at the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
On January 10, 2017, I, Officer LESSANE, with the city of Beaufort Police Department, responded to 1030 Ribaut Road #6, in the city limits of Beaufort, to conduct a follow up on a previously reported domestic (17B01907). Upon arrival, I made contact with the victim SOFIA CHAVEZ and confirmed the offender VICTOR MANUEL CRUZ-ANAYA information. While at the victim residence, I took updated photos of her injuries. She also provided me with a photo of the offender. After clearing from the victim residence, I relocated to the offender job in an attempt to make contact with him. Negative contact was made, no further actions were taken.
“It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home,” I smoothly said, “I’ve read your book... I am General Zaroff.” Firmly, I signed to have Ivan put away his pistol to not frighten our guest. After a time of discussing my Cossack background, we escorted him to the dining
General Zaroff, a very wealthy man living on his private island off the coast of the Dominican Republic, has been convicted of over 65 unsolved murders. Sadly, all 65 of them were shipwrecked sailors who crashed on the banks of his island. It is not the fact he killed them that is so disgusting, but it’s the way he killed them that was so haunting.
In the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell a man named Rainsford fell off of a ship and had to swim to an island nearby. When he arrived on the island a man named general Zaroff was there to meet him. Zaroff soon reveals the fact that he hunts humans on his island to Rainsford. The only way for Rainsford to escape the is to survive three days of being hunted by Zaroff. In the end of the book Rainsford outwits Zaroff and beats Zaroff.
One of the characters in the story is Sanger Rainsford. Rainsford is a hunter who has written books about his different hunting trips. He doesn’t think that animals have feelings, and then, towards the end of the story instead of the hunter, he turns into the hunted. We also have Ivan; Ivan is from Russia, and he is basically one of General Zaroff’s henchman. Ivan looks like Hagrid from Harry Potter, but he is a lot scarier than Hagrid. He is deaf and dumb, and he helps General Zaroff kill people if they refuse to participate in the hunt. General Zaroff is a very strange man. Physically, he is a sleek and slim man. A quote from the story that describes what Zaroff physically looks like is, “Rainsford's first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general's face. He was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which Rainsford had come. His eyes, too, were black and very bright. He had high cheekbones, a sharp cut nose, a spare, dark face--the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat” (5). This tells how General Zaroff physically looks; so he is kind of bizarre but in a good way. Believe it or not he gets even more bizarre as the story goes on. General Zaroff may be bizarre, but maybe not as weird as
I read the short story, The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell. In this story a man named Rainsford falls off of a boat by a deserted-looking island. He finds a creepy man named Zaroff that lives on the island, and Zaroff hunts people that he traps on his island. In this journal, I will be evaluating the character of Zaroff.
At this point don't forget i am naked. Ivan put a gun up to my face and i was freaked. But a guy named general zaroff came down the stairs and greeted me in, proved me with clothes and food we talked a lot and come to find out he is a very experienced hunter and has gotten bored of hunting animals. He says there to easy and he wants a greater challenge. He like the excitement and challenge of hunting humans. He tells me of this game he has. He lets the human try to survive on the island, they have three days to survive. Either zaroff finds them and kills them or they survive and win the game, he has never been
Our plan was after I healed from my C-section and Malaki was at least 6 months old I would be going back to college. Of course, things do not always go, as we want them to. It was May 28, 2008. I had just had Malaki 13 days before. It was a normal day. I was nursing Malaki and Keith called to say he had just gotten off work and was on his way home. He had a great job installing insulation. As I put Malaki down in his bassinet, I could have never imagined in less than one hour and less than one mile from home my family’s lives and “our plan” would change forever.
I’m going to start by saying we have some very good educators at Durant Public School that, make sure we are well prepared for college. Here at Durant Public School have been wonderful, exciteful, and delightful, I completed ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade here at Durant Public School. I’m currently attending the twelfth grade. Now I’m about giving you a brief summary of my experience at Durant Public School.
phone. Later, once I arrived home, I found out my best friend was murdered. Ebaneke did not make it through being a Domestic Abuse victim, she did not survive. The entire months I was out of communication, she was looking for me. I was going through all this harassment, abuse, and I could not hear her. I was so stressed that I could not think. Her family was even looking for me, but I put my all into her murder case to help close it. I suffered a great deal of loss dealing with this matter because domestic abuse has forever changed me. I no longer see Arkansas, especially Little Rock the same anymore. I am afraid to come to Little Rock because of the fear of running into him. I still become paranoid when someone knocks at the door, I get paranoid
At the same time I thought I heard General coming with a hound. Instantly I thought of another trap I learned about called the Burmese Tiger Pit. In this trap you dig down a few feet and put carved out spiked made from wood at the bottom and place branches and leaves on top of the hole to hide it. When I was done making it I ran as fast as I could to a big log. I was hiding behind the log when I heard a loud scream, General then called out that I had done a good job and killed one of the best dogs that he had. He then went back to his house again. Later on Ivan was with General and by this time i only had to survive a few more hours to win so past the swamp I made the Uganda knife trap, this is then you take a sapling of a tree and tie a knife to it and pull the sapling bad to the ground and when you trigger it the sapling springs up and the knife hits the victim. The trap worked, but it hit Ivan and not General, with Ivan dead General saw me, I ran as fast as I could towards A cliff and across the water I could see General’s house, so I jumped not knowing what was going to happen to me. General gave up because he thought I was dead so he went back home and later that night when he came into his room I came out of the curtains I was hiding in and confronted him, and since I was General got fed to his
At the end of my Junior year I was inducted in the National Honor Society. Prior to my Junior year as I mentioned in my scholarship letter I without a doubt had no clue to what I wanted to do, after taking medical science, and nursing assistant I knew I wanted to either become an Occupational Therapist or a Pediatric Nurse. Before being a part of Honor Society I didn’t even know it existed, so it truly caught me by surprise. Since the beginning of my junior year I knew that I wanted to challenge myself in classes more than before, that was what I did. When I received the letter saying I was to be a part this high honor it felt like the work I had done all year was paying off. It pushed me to want to do more, so I did. I applied at the UW nurse
