The+Most+Dangerous+Game

=__The Most Dangerous Game Paragraph__= "The Most Dangerous Game," shows many different aspects of human nature. The main characters, Mr. Rainsford and General Zaroff, show much superiority over other animals or in General Zaroffs ca se h umans. Mr. Rainsford has way more emotion when compared to General Zaroff. Rainsford in the beginning of the story has little to no pity towards the animals he hunts, but as the story developes Rainsford begins to feel more pity for the animals he hunts. As General Zaroff starts to hunt down Rainsford, Rainsford begins to realize that animals, just like humans, do in fact feel fear contrary to his previous beliefs. Rainsford shows this in the sentence, "Then he ran for his life." The two main characters display all of these aspects and more in various ways throughout the story.

This is a very good effort Jared! You have structured the paragraph very well. Perhaps some more specific evidence to support your ideas would improve the overall content. Well Done!
