Compare zaroff’s and rainsford’s point of view on the hunt. how does this tension contribute to the moral stakes of the story? cite evidence from the story in your response.

It could be stated that both characters have a different perspective towards hunting and thay are, at least at the beginning, not alike. As regards Rainsford, who is an avid hunter, it might be said that he believes that men are superior to animals that is why they are preys because they do not have feelings. He sees hunting as a game. On the other hand, Zaroff also thinks that animals are preys and hunting is a game but he got bored of animals because they do not use logic. So he decided to hunt sailors from ships which were trapped on his island. He sustains that sailors do not have rights or feelings because they are weak.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

answer: x = 4 and y = 4
