In your life you have to overcome many challenges and conflicts. Some conflicts are particularly harder to overcome than others. How would you feel if you were trapped on a mysterious island with a cold blooded killer? How would you feel if you had to hide in a jungle while a man tried to hunt you? How would you keep going and not give up even when you think there is little hope? Well, just ask Rainsford. Rainsford, a hunter from America ,was going on a trip to hunt jaguars in Brazil. One night he heard gunshots. He was very curious as to where they came from. While trying to peer into the darkness, over the railing he went, and ended up in the blood warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. He swan for hours, and finally ended up on an island, Ship-Trap Island to be exact. That is when hisadventure started to take a turn for the worse. If you have ever read the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game”, than you know exciting and action packed it is. The reason why it is so exciting is because it contains many different conflicts. The first conflict in the story is Man Vs. Man. It all starts out when Rainsford lands on the island, and finally he spots a giant castle in the distance. He walks miles until he finally reaches the door of this castle. A man named General Zaroff answers the door. General Zaroff explains to Rainsford how he has read many of his books, and admires him quiet a bit. During their conversation General Zaroff tells Rainsford how he was starting to find hunting a bore until he took matters into his own hands. He explains how instead of hunting animals he now hunts men. Rainsford is astonished by what General Zaroff has just said. Rainsford accused General Zaroff of murder, and tells him how hunting humans is indecent. He simply tells Rainsford that it is just a new game. He gets his captive men into the best shape of their lives, just so the chase will be exciting. Rainsford still can not believe that General Zaroff hunts men, and this made him unhappy. He invites Rainsford to a join him next time he goes hunting. The catch is that Rainsford will be the one hunted. A Man Vs. Man conflict is when two characters battle against each other. In the example i provided above Rainsford and General Zaroff have different views on hunting humans, and butt heads. When General Zaroff explains to Rainsford how he will be hunting him, they are going to be physically battling one another. Any women knows that the worse thing that could happen to you is a rainstorm on your wedding day. I bet if that happened to you, you would be very upset. Well, this is an example of Man Vs. Nature conflict. Man Vs. Nature is when people battle the environment or nature. Man Vs. Nature conflict starts out when General Zaroff sends Rainsford into the jungle. Rainsford has much hope in the beginning, but that starts to diminish after a while. He thinks he will try to be clever and trick General Zaroff with fake footprints. Rainsford finally find the perfect hiding spot, and ends up laying in a tree. He is very confident that General Zaroff will not find him. As it turns out General Zaroff finds the tree, but does not spot Rainsford. While in the jungle Rainsford comes across a lot of trouble, and even got himself caught in quicksand. I guess you would say the jungle was doing everything to try to stop Rainsford from succeeding. Rainsford was battling against the jungle just for survival. The jungle was trying to stop him in every way shape or form for beating General Zaroff. Also, if Rainsford had never fallen off the ship in the first place, he would not have ended up on Ship-Trap Island. How would you feel having a man hunting you and having to survive in the jungle for three days? I am sure you would feel extremely upset and nervous. I bet you would feel even worse when your captor was sending a pack of wild dogs after you! During the whole story Rainsford was battling inside himself. If i was him his position, I know i would have given up hope, but Rainsford stayed strong. He even tried make traps and devices to injure General Zaroff and Ivan. He was totally committed to getting off of Ship- Trap Island alive. When General Zaroff came after him with the dogs, but was faced with the decision of jumping off the cliff. He knew that if he let the dogs attack him he would die, whereas if he jumped he might die, but it was not guaranteed. He was faced with many life altering decisions, and I think that he handled it very well throughout the whole story. Wow I am pretty sure Rainsford was happy to get of Ship-Trap Island. What an action packed week he had. First, he falls off of his hunting yacht and has to swim miles to a mysterious island. While on the island he meets General Zaroff who explains how he hunts humans, and ends up trapped in the jungle while General Zaroff hunts him. Lastly, he is faced with a major decision that will change his life. In just a short period of time Rainsford battled him another person, the nature, and inside himself.
