Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game,” by richard connell. when rainsford opened his eyes he knew from the position of the sun that it was late in the afternoon. sleep had given him new vigor; a sharp hunger was picking at him. he looked about him, almost cheerfully.

search for the island’s inhabitants.
build a camp in the jungle.
try to swim to a neighboring island.
