Brief Summary Of The Most Dangerous Game By Richard Connell

The Most Dangerous Game Summary
A man named Sanger Rainsford was sailing on a ship with accompanies of a few other men, and they were on their way to Rio to have some “good hunting” (Connell 1). Tragically, Rainsford fell overboard, and he ended up on a “Ship-Trapped Island.”(1) He divagated the island, and then came upon some sort of mansion-like house.

He explains, “He could not remember a time where he didn’t write” (20). Their passion turned into a career, and at a very young age their fathers were the ones who helped pursue
