Rainsford's Escape: A Narrative Fiction

Being able to overcome something in life is a great feeling. When you want to give up, but your inner body says no. The ability to overcome that feeling, although your mind and physical ability tells you no, is special. In Richard Connel's short story "The Most Dangerous Game," big game as Sanger Rainsford is tested in the following ways: strong versus the weak, the value of life, and becoming what he fears. Next, we will go into great detail about how Rainsford handles his weakness.

In the book “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, the protagonist, Sanger Rainsford Is on a yacht, to Rio when he fell overboard. He swam until he finally reached a island, where he later met a man known as General Zaroff. Rainsford got involved with General Zaroff’s Manhunt. Rainsford had to have skills if he wanted to survive the manhunt. The three skills he had were, how to make a Malay Mancatcher, his hunting skills and a trick he learned when he was in Uganda.

In 1952, author George Sessions Perry wrote about a small town in central Texas named Rockdale. The article, written for The Saturday Evening Post, dubbed the community “The Town Where it Rains Money.” Perry tells of an Alcoa plant coming to town and drastically changing the community with an influx of money. The manufacturer transformed Rockdale from a small dot that somehow made itself onto a map into a community that saw its population double in less than a decade; with it, brought many jobs.

The man asks Rainsford why he is out in this island all Rainsford says is he’s out hunting and heard the crash. Rainsford tells Jack about the mansion and as soon as they arrive there he’ll fix him up and take care of him. Jack has no idea what is wrong with Rainsford but something is not right about him. Two hours later they arrive at the mansion.

He found a cabin and sought help. There he met General Zaroff and started to understand what he did on the island. General Zaroff told him that he was an expert hunter and showed him all the animals on the island. Rainsford, the main character, figured out that Zaroff owned the island. General Zaroff was kind and helped out rainsford by giving him shelter and food.

Rainsford is on the island being hunted by Zaroff and has no one to help him. "The best sport in the world" agreed Rainsford. "For the hunter," amended Whitney. "Not for the jaguar," (Connell). Rainsford goes from the hunter to the hunted. Kane asked everyone in town to help but they refused to help. "[ Metrick looks up at the wall clock. It is seven minutes to eleven,]" (Foreman).

The sounds of loud, heavy boots make their way toward the door of the cell. The troop grabs Winston and Julia and a voice over the income says “Room 101”. Fear was running

Rainsford had arrived on the shore of Ship-Trap Island after falling off a yacht. According to the narrator, “Bleak darkness was blacking out the sea and jungle when Rainsford sighted the lights” (Connell 45). The island Rainsford arrived on was filled with darkness, with light only coming from Zaroff’s château. The use of setting signifies the importance of where the story is taking place. In the beginning of the story, the island was described as dark, giving a feeling of indistinction.This setting first overwhelmed Rainsford, for he did not know what to do. The setting of the jungle is described as a location of being constrictive because it did not allow Rainsford to return back home. Rainsford used his instinct to navigate though the unknowns of Ship-Trap Island. Zaroff had the confidence of navigating the island’s challenges, so he distrusted his instinct. While setting helped reveal the message of the story, characterization also supported the author’s argument.

Rainsford answers, “Yes, that’s so” (85). Rainsford could have taken a stand. Of course, it is not his place, but he was calm and composed to sit back and let Zaroff open up. ‘“Don’t be alarmed, I’m Sanger Rainsford” (47). Rainsford has a pistol pointed at his heart and he is telling this huge creation of a man that he is hungry. As much as he has been through in the past twenty-four hours, this did not alarm Rainsford. He presented himself as lost and from New York.

It had been a week since Rainsford managed to kill the nefarious General Zaroff. The challenging part was almost over or so it seemed. There was not a clear way for Rainsford to escape. As days passed, Rainsford tried to escape. He tried making a boat from driftwood that he found, he tried swimming, he even tried sending a signal by using a flashlight. Rainsford had become so desperate that he even tried some ridiculous plans like trying to pole vault across the ocean. As a result, Rainsford ended up having huge gashes in his left leg ,which got infected, and he had to amputate it. As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Rainsford had lost hope and became bitter.

Proving who it is, is not an easy job. Also, the suspects start turning on each other and a lawyer steps in to make sure the real mission of the ship won't be revealed. McGee discovers that the ship was testing a new project that would send waterproof closets filled with weapons to the bottom of the ocean. However, the closets are leaking and the team suspects they are used to hide liquid cocaine for a drug cartel. De la Rosa must have discovered that and that was the reason he was killed.

Illegal drugs are inevitable and are not going anywhere no matter how hard the United States fights. Reforming the United States War on Drugs would strategically bring money into the states and deplete the bank accounts of the drug lords. The United States abandon the prohibition on drugs and allow the government to control the shipment, production and distribution of drugs recommends The Latin American Caribbean. (Francis, J. N., & Mauser, G. A., 2011) If the United States Federal Government controlled the market place and brought in massive amounts of sources for taxes brining in a vast amount of money. By utilizing this strategy and approach the United States Federal Government would have a start to ending the war on drugs.
