The Most Dangerous Game

The most important events in the story, summarized, are the part in which he falls into the ocean, meets General Zaroff on the island and finds out what kind of person he was, the fights they had, and the final fight in the bedroom in which General Zaroff got killed. In the beginning of the story, Whitney was foreshadowing that there would be something bad happening on the island, and the three gun shots too. Then, Rainsford fell off the ship and swam to the island. On the island, he found where General Zaroff and  Ivan lives. When they first met, they chatted about hunting but then Rainsford realized that the General hunts human. He then got forced to hunt with the General. If he gets caught within 3 days, he looses and will die, but if he doesn't, he wins and can leave the island. On the first day, he tried not to leave any mark that would show the General about where he was, and he hid in a tree. The general did find him though, but he wanted to play with him, so he didn't attack him, and just smiled and went home. In the second day, Rainsford used his knowledge and wounded the General. On the third day, he killed both Ivan and one of the best dogs using his experience too. He got chased and jumped into the river, and General Zaroff thought that he won, but when he went back to his home, he found Rainsford in his bedroom waiting for him to kill him. That part would be the climax of the story.
