Intelligence In The Most Dangerous Game By Richard Connell

In the story “The Most Dangerous Game “ by “Richard Connell” is talking about a man named rainsford that has to literally survive for a few days in a place where people are hunted like animals.A survivor is a person who is willing to fight every day in order to stay alive, but then this will mean that he will have to be brave, instinctual, and intelligent.

The second thing i have to show that a survivor is instinctual was in the story it says, “Even as he touched it the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape, Rainsford called the general, if you are within the sound of my voice s i suppose you are, let me congratulate you , not many people know how to make a Malay Mancatcher.” This shows that he is instinctual because he is being congratulated by the person he is hunting because he showed how much knowledge and skill he has to make one. This is another characteristic that a survivalist would have in order to survive in the
