In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, Rainsford is a clever character. Rainsford first shows his cleverness when he is stranded in the ocean after falling off the boat. This shows how clever he is because he recalls what direction he heard the sound of gunshots from, and swims towards it. The way he doesn't give up after swimming for a long time and is confident with his decision portrays his intelligence. Soon after he makes it onto the island, he displays another act of cleverness when he observes a bullet and a destroyed bush, and makes inferences based on past experiences and knowledge.
Luckily, you and I are hunters. ”(Connel, 1). At the beginning, exposition of the story, let it be known about his hunting abilities. When Rainsford fell over the cliff, and swim instead of panicking and risking drowning. Rainsford made smart decisions during the game; always keeping

His first thought is to get as far away as he can, ‘His first idea was to put as distance between himself and General Zaroff.’ But as he calms down and starts thinking rationally, he realizes he needs to try to survive and outsmart Zaroff and play along with his game. As the days go by he starts losing his morals and tries to kill Zaroff, first by dropping a log on him, ‘The dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one crashed down and struck the general.’ Rainsford has started losing his morals and getting more in touch with his beast.
Rainsford did not like Zaroff, the war general, one bit as a human being.(appositive) Rainsford thought what Zaroff was doing is cold-blooded murder. Rainsford is not wrong the general really is killing humans for the enjoyment. Rainsford explains that he is a hunter and does not use his skills to hunt down people and kill them. Rainsford doesn’t understand why any human would do such a thing. Zaroff finds fun in chasing people in the wild.(gerund).
Have you ever read the story The Most Dangerous Game? If you haven’t, then you are in for a real treat. In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, Sanger Rainsford is shown as intelligent, respectful, and paranoid. Rainsford is shown to be intelligent in the story when he designes a trap for Zaroff. In the story he says “not many men know how to make a Malay man-catcher” (Connell 77).
Rainsford was on his yacht on his way to the Amazon to go jaguar hunting with one of his pals. In the process, he was smoking his cigar. He dropped it off his hat and when we want to reach for is he fell off and started to hear gunshots. Rainsford said,¨They had come from the right, and doggedly sawm in that direction¨(Conelle 2).Although it takes some thinking, Rainsford step into the unknown when he started swimming towards the island with gunshots, because he did not know what or who was being shot at. In other words, Rainsford did not know what he was going to face when he came up from the shore.
Everyday people make decisions, some are made during life or death situations. Not everyone has to go to through a circumstance that is life or death, but some people do. Richard Connell once composed a fictional short story about a life or death situation. In Richard Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game” large game hunter Sanger Rainsford is tested in the following ways: strong versus the weak, the value of life, and becoming what he fears. Nevertheless he made it through these challenges, but he also learned a few life lessons while doing so.
The Most Dangerous Game is a story that gets you thinking of whether or not to kill or be killed, or you could say, “The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees.” That 's not all though, the MDG has another question that gets you thinking, is Rainsford guilty, or not guilty? But in the end all evidence points that he may be guilty of murder.
I see a perspective of the quotation, "Character is what you are in the dark.", by Dwight Lyman Moody in the short story, "Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. This quotation gives the meaning that you see the real characteristic of a character when they are alone, and no one else is around to see what they are doing or how they are acting. You can see some examples of this perspective in the short story with characters General Zaroff and Rainsford. For instance, when speaking with Rainsford about hunting The General states, "It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason." (Connell P.12).
One aspect to be considered in Connell 'sThe Most Dangerous Game might be that Rainsford doesn 't just change his mind or personal philosophy about whether animals feel fear while being hunted or not. Rather, consider the possibility that Rainsford 's mind turns into thinking like a hunted animal as though he literally stops thinking like a human by the end of the story. For example, when Rainsford says, I 'm still a beast at bay, he could be expressing the fact that he doesn 't just sympathize with animals who are hunted, but he empathizes with them on a highly personal level. Is it possible that the traumatic experience of being hunted for three days could change Rainsford 's mind his whole system of thinking in his braininto making him
All Malala wanted was to go to school, and her life was put on the line. I soon realized what I had started to think was part of my everyday life, someone had almost died for it.

She is courageous because despite knowing the danger in which she was placing herself, she still never stood down.

She has one goal, the right for girls education, and she will not come down without a fight. Not only did she show great courage, but she also showed compassion. Malala is compassionate and cares for the less fortunate, she thought of others before herself.
She stood up for her rights and everyone else's too. Shot by the Taliban, Malala continues to campaign about educational rights. She has left her legacy as “The woman who stood up for girls’ education”. The early years of Malala’s life were very difficult and hard for her.
