EXPLANATION

“The Most Dangerous Game” is one of Richard Connell’s works in the form of a short story. This short story is also popular with the name of “The Hounds of Zaroff”. The story was published for the first time on January 19, 1924, in Collier’s. The story is mainly focusing on a hunter from New York City who falls overboard a yacht. After he ends up in the middle of the sea, he then swims to what is thought to be an abandoned island in the Caribbean.

The island, however, is not abandoned as there lives a Russian aristocrat. Due to the immense popularity of the short story, it has been adapted numerous times into film and radio series, being called the most popular short story in English and earned O. Henry Award upon its publication.

The plot revolves around the main protagonist Sanger Rainsford who was traveling to the Amazon Rainforest with his friend, Whitney in a yacht. While examining the sound of a gunshot, he was thrown overboard and had to swim too so-called Ship-Trap Island, notorious for shipwrecks. There, he finds a chateau so big it resembles a palace and was greeted by two Cossacks, the owner of the place General Zaroff and his servant, Ivan.

Zaroff is also a big-game hunter and recognizes Rainsford from the latter’s published account of hunting snow leopards in Tibet. Zaroff told Rainsford he is no longer interested in hunting animals because it no longer challenges him, and resorted to hunting people, whom he got from the sailors that were shipwrecked on the island. Zaroff challenged Rainsford to survive the hunt for three days, just like the sailors before him; if he managed to survive the hunt, Zaroff will let him go. Rainsford reluctantly agreed.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
