Explanation:

Rainsford and General Zaroff are characters in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game", by Richard Connell. They are both skilled hunters, and their interaction changes both characters' lives.

At the beginning of the story, Rainsford is talking to a friend. During this dialog, he shows no empathy for the animals he hunts. He says they have no understanding and, therefore, need not be pitied. His friend is of the opinion that animals understand fear, and that should be enough for humans to empathize with them.

Rainsford accidentally falls from the yatch in which he is traveling and lands in General Zaroff's island. Zaroff has long been hunting men, for he thinks no animal in the world represents a true challenge to his skills any longer. When Rainsford refuses to hunt with him, the general makes him his new prey.

Being on the other side of the hunter-hunted relationship is bound to teach Rainsford a lesson. He is finally able to empathize with the animals' fear. Even though he is capable of reasoning, Rainsford is desperate to survive, just like every beast would be. He learns humbleness through his fear and desperation.

At the end, he is able to fight and kill General Zaroff.

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
