The Most Dangerous Game

I really liked this short story. It did a good job of capturing my attention. The book started off with Rainsford falling off of a boat in the middle of the night. This was a great way to gain the readers attention right away. I liked how the general wouldn't answer Rainsford's question about what he hunted. It made me think that something was up. I also really enjoyed the battle of wills between Rainsford and the General. I am a big hunter so this really got my attention. I did find the generals mad tracking skills a little bit far fetched. I liked how Rainsford set all of those traps but the General avoided all of them. His dog and servant weren't so lucky. It was interesting how the General showed no emotion toward losing his those two. He was more worried about how it was a burden to himself. I found the ending very fitting. I thought the General got what he deserved. I don't think the fact that Rainsford killed the General makes him equal in badness to the General. I think Rainsford did what he had to do.
