Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game,” by richard connell. so intent was the cossack on his stalking that he was upon the thing rainsford had made before he saw it. his foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. but he was not quite quick enough; the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. he staggered, but he did not fall; nor did he drop his revolver. how is this scene different in the film adaptation of "the most dangerous game”? rainsford hides instead of trying to wound general zaroff. rainsford’s female companion sets the trap for general zaroff. general zaroff injures rainsford with an arrow. general zaroff avoids the trap rainsford sets.
