Describe the main conflict: I think that the main conflict is man versus man, because it seems that Zaroff uses the environment to hi advantage.

Describe the Climax of the Story: I think that the climax of the story is when Rainsford jumps off of the cliff. I think it changes the whole story, because now Rainsford has the advantage.

How does the Protagonist change over the course of the story? At the beginning, Rainsford thinks that anything being hunted doesn't have any feelings, but at the end, he realizes that everything has feelings.

Describe the relationship between the title and the theme. The title "The Most Dangerous Game" suggests violence, but I think that the real theme is abusing power.

How does the main conflict help to illustrate the theme? The main conflict helps to show the theme by showing how much Zaroff abuses his power over other people, just for his enjoyment.

How does the climax help to illustrate the theme? The climax showed that even when you have power, you are vulnerable to things that you might not expect.

Give examples of each of the following literary terms in the story (use quotes):

Simile: "The sea was as flat asa plate-glass window." compares a window to a calm day at sea.

Metaphor: "I am still a beast at bay" means that the game isn't over until someone has truly won.

Personification: " The place has a reputation-- a bad one" only people can have real reputations.

Symbol: The pistol that Zaroff caries symbolize power.

Foreshadowing (give both elements): At the beginning, Rainsford talks about how the huntees have no feelings. This foreshadows him being hunted, and feeling panic and fear.

Imagery: "Sometimes I think that evil is a tangible thing--with wavelengths, like light and sound."

Describe the relationships between the class theme and the story. If you have power, it doesn't mean that you should use it. Also, most people with power are blind to the effect that it has, until they are exposed to that effect. Completion 5/5 Effort 4/5 Content 45 total 13/15
