The Most Dangerous Game Curiosity

When reading "The Most Dangerous Game" I have noticed myself becoming curious about how Rainsford ended up on the island, why he stayed on the island for as long as he did, and why General Zaroff thought he could kill Rainsford. Rainsford got swept off of his yacht and somehow floated to safety. The island he floated to was General Zaroff's."The door opened then...". I wonder if it was destiny that brought him to the island knowing  that the General hunted and Rainsford was a renowned hunter. Rainsford stayed on the island for quite a while. I am curious as to why he did not want to find a way off the island fast. His daughter was still out at sea and the story never told us whether she could navigate or operate the yacht. "...Good night, Whitney" He said as his last words with her before he was thrown off the yacht. The last thing I was curious about was why the General thought he could kill Rainsford. Rainsford had made it clear to the world, that he could survive under difficult circumstances."I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet, you see" Said the General. Yet the General still attempts to kill him, but instead gets killed.

Good people do bad things because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time, don't think before they act, and don't understand how harmful what they do can be. In my book, "Marley and Me", It shows how Bobs mother, a good person, did a bad thing. She had bob when she was just 13 years old. She certainly didn't think of the long term problems that Bob would create. He was holding her back from many things. She was also needing to take care of him and provide for him, which her mother helped her do. Bob's mother was surely a good person, but made a bad decision which long term held her down but she had to take care of him and do the right thing.

Marley and Me #1

Marley and Me-Don Taylor
 Marley and Me is a book that explains the relationship between Bob Marley and his manager, Mike Henry. The beginning of the story talks about Mike's upbringing in Jamaica during the 1940's.The book so far, has changed my perspective on how great of a life I have. I have always known how fortunate I am, but never put it in perspective with how unfortunate some people are. I have a mom and dad that love me and care for me, lots of great friends, a good school, and lots more. I consider myself pretty lucky and fortunate to have the life i do. Mike however wasn't as lucky as me. He was born to a 13 year old mother that could not provide for him or take care of him. He made the best of it and became a great guy.
