The Most Dangerous Game

Human nature is examined in "The Most Dangerous Game" by using knowldge, bravery,and fear. ‍Rainsford used his knowldge to escape Zaraff by hiding from him very intelegently, Rainsford used old native tricks and t hey worked kept him safe for a day, something new everyday though he came very close to the general but never got caight by him, and for bravery he set up traps and he hid quitely from the general he almost got caught by him came in very close counter with him but he was to good for the general, his bravery was more suppieror then Zaroff's for keeping his nerve in him, and Rainsford hunted in the jungle and stays alive for three days, then he goes back and faces Zaroff to say he wins the game. ‍The humanity in the story is that Zaroff did get bored of hunting because he perfected it, nothing new but hunting animals, so the General starts bringing humans to the island and hunts them and Rainsford does not like the idea of murder. They are scared in the story beacuse hunting is a win lose situation live or die‍. Rainstord knows what zaraff wants and he doesnt like the idea he intends to stop him and win the game so there is no more hunting. ‍

The ideas are solid; be sure to proof read for grammar.
