Fishbowl
Preparation
Main Text: The Most
Dangerous Game by Richard Connell
Directions: In preparation for the fishbowl discussion on
Friday, answer these guiding questions with your thoughts, opinions, personal
experiences, and evidence from The Most Dangerous Game. Each
response should include at least 2 quotes from the text to support. Answer on a separate sheet of paper.
1.
Civilized vs. Uncivilized? At what point does a
person cross that boundary? Who or what can we consider “civilized” in The Most Dangerous Game?
IIs it inhumane to kill animals? How about
humans? Where do Rainsford and Zaroff draw the line? Where do you draw the
line?
3.
What does Richard Connell want to communicate to
us as readers about humans in general? Consider the background information
about big game hunting and General Zaroff’s game. Are humans naturally good,
evil, selfish….? What evidence from the story gives the author’s opinion on
that?
Questions: Write
down at least 2-3 questions you would like to explore further or that comes out
of your thinking from the previous questions.
