<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">Zaroff suggested that Rainsford wear moccasins because they leave less foot prints.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;"> **What caused Rainsford to believe Zaroff knew he was hiding in the tree? Do you think he was right? Give reasons. 3/3**

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">Rainsford believe that Zaroff knew he was hiding in the tree because Zaroff stopped and analyzed the tree, also when he got to the branch that Rainsford was on Zaroff smiled. He probably didn’t want to kill him right away because he wanted the game to last longer. I think he was right because Zaroff gets bored easily with hunting and he wants more of a challenge.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;"> **How does Zaroff stock his island with “game”?2 /2**

Zaroff stocks his island with game by using lights that guide ships into rocks and crushes them. Therefore people are stuck on his island, waiting to be hunted.

At the end of the story General Zaroff was killed by Rainsford. He had thought Rainsford had fled the island and gotten away but when Zaroff went to his room Rainsford was there and killed him.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;"> **Inspite of being hurt, Zaroff congratulates Rainsford on his “Malay mancatcher,” why? 2/2**

Zaroff congratulated Rainsford on his Malay mancatcher because finally someone is giving his competition and he is able to have fun and have a challenge.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;"> **How do we know Rainsford is an exceptionally fit man? 2/2**

We know Rainsford is an exceptionally fit man because he was able to swim all the way to shore from his boat, he was able to climb a tall tree

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;"> **Discuss the state of mind of Rainsford before he lands on the island versus that after he meets the General. What is different? (Especially about how he perceives animal feelings.)4/5**

When Rainsford lands on the island he is purely a hunter, but after learning that Zaroff hunts humans Rainsford (which he thought was grotesque), he starts to understand that maybe hunting animals is just as wrong and you should be more sparing and that you shouldn't get a thrill of killing something that is living. He was disgusted by Zaroff's game of hunting people.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;"> **How does Connell inspire fear without obvious bloodshed/grotesqueness. 2/3**

Conell uses excellent describing words and uses imagery to explain his story. He uses suspense and foreshadowing. By reading the book you can tell that Ivan is a bad character and that he is used to scare people.
