Style1. a) The simile I found was: “One apprehensive night he crawled slowly like a wounded snake.” I choose this simile because it creates a kind of suspense and involves the reader in the story. When a story is set in darkness it often features suspense, telling the reader that something scary is about to happen. If this part wasn't included in the story, it wouldn't tell us the pain Rainsford must have felt when this part of the story unfolded. In this simile the part that says snake gives us goosebumps. Snakes are always scary. Snakes are ferocious and venomous. They are especially scary in the dark. The simile gives us the setting and a picture in our mind of the story. The metaphor I chose was: "The cat came to play with the mouse again." I choose this metaphor because it gave us a one sentence description of the battle between Rainsford and General Zaroff. This gives us tension by telling us that something is about to happen and that it won't go well. It tells us how Rainsford is not as furious and ferocious as General Zaroff. It also shows how General Zaroff was a cat who didn't care if the mouse was small or untrained and ate it in one bite. b) A sentence that implies foreshadowing in this story is: "The cat was coming to play with him again." the mouse." This sentence was also a metaphor. I choose this sentence as a sign of foreshadowing because it gives us a clue as to what will happen. In this sentence the cat (General Zaroff) comes to play (kill) the mouse (Rainsford). There says General Zaroff will come to kill Rainsford. General Zaroff was an evil man. He did nothing but kill. He was a mental person who killed people for a living and put... in the middle of paper... he sat on trees that probably contained splinters. He also didn't sleep. This hunt made him really tired. Rainsford is also a soft-hearted guy and probably doesn't want to hurt other people or animals. He needs to train because this was just one game Maybe General Zaroff wasn't at his best this time. Maybe he was just going easy on Rainsford. While these were some good reasons why he wouldn't go hunting. First he beat General Zaroff, a person who had been training for many years. He also received a small gift at the end where he could sleep in a luxury bed. If he keeps getting gifts like that, he might keep hunting. Finally, I think Rainsford had little thrill in this job as a hunter. Hunting is usually bad, but when you hunt a human. You never know what could happen.
