How do the sailors and Rainsford feel about the Island

The sailors believe it is a place of evil, but Rainsford thinks they are just superstitious.

Explanation:

In the Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell, a man named Rainsford finds himself on an island, where he is hunted by a mad man, called Zaroff.

Before Rainsford ends up on the island, we find out that the sailors are frightened by this place. When Rainsford and Whitney have a conversation while passing by the island, Whitney says that "Sailors have a curious dread of the place." Rainsford, however, does not understand why. This conversation foreshadows the events that are going to take place later in the story - Rainsford will himself be frightened by the 'evil' Zaroff.

because of all the immigration, america became one big melting pot. the diversity of cultures from all over the world made america somewhat divided as well. people that immigrated stayed with their kind, and their traditions, while native born americans stayed with their kind and their traditions. normally, people born in american scorned the immigrants as well. the new religions also divided america. in summary, it took away from the american culture and identified america as the "melting pot."
