Katey, Group 2: In "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, I think that cleverness helped Rainsford win the hunting game. The most clever thing he did that let him win the game is when he was running from the General and got the the edge of the cliff, he realized that he could jump, and swim back to the generals house becuase first of all it was faster than walking, second of all the General wouldn't jump after him, and third of all the General wasn't expecting him back at home,and thats how he won!

In "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, discipline was the most important attribute to Rainsford's survival because all other traits are based on discipline so that you will not loose the ability to think because of your fear.

In the story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, Rainsford uses cleverness to help him win in a battle of life or death by setting up obstacles and traps against the general to try and defeat him on his own game.

The language use is also really creative, it makes the sentence more complex.

Jon you were only suposed to say why one of them was his trait. Why were those his trait or traits

Kaley, You misspelled the author's name. You did a great job listing specific on how it made him successful! Now, clean it up so it's not so wordy.

TO ZACH
I like your sentence, however, I think you went a bit to far into detail. Some of the information you have in the topic sentence would be good in a body paragraph. But other than that, you have good ideas that really come out with the sentence.

There were many attributes in the story that helped Rainsford through his man hunt but the one attribute that helped him the most in my opinion was mental toughness. I think this because you need to have a good attitude and clever ideas to get you through a challenge.You can't have a bad attitude in life and get through a hard challenge that requires mental toughness. Without that attribute I don't think that Rainsford could have made it through his long journey.

Group 1: In Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game”, Sanger Rainsford, the main character, uses his cleverness to outwit his opponent, General Zaroff, in a hunting game in a strange, remote island where he is the one being hunted, and depending on if he can kill the General first, he may never make it out.
At 1:13 PM ,
Zach said...
TD, I disagree because he is clever but if he had lost his cool his cleverness would not have done him any good and he would have been killed by general Zarroff. His discipline kept him thinking and able to make vital decisions.

Sam Crawford said...
Luke maybe some more pacific ways he won.

In the story, The Most Dangerous Game, by Richard Connell, mental toughness is very important. Rainsford had to have a lot of this to keep his nerve, or he wouldn't have been able to create all the traps and diversions to help him make it through the game.

In the story "The Most Dangerous" I believe that Rainsford won by using his experiance and knowlage of hunting and staying hidden in the shadows to outwit General Zarroff.
At 9:41 PM ,
Davis said...
Allen, thanks for logging on later during the day, to get your topic sentence on here. Now, take out "I believe" as I know it's your beliefs since you are writing. Plus, it sounds more persuasive without it. Then, change the spelling of: experience and knowledge. Excellent format and topic sentence once these little things are fixed!
