Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game." "i wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "so i said: 'what are the attributes of an ideal quarry? ' and the answer was, of course, 'it must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason.'" "but no animal can reason," objected rainsford. "my dear fellow," said the general, "there is one that can." "but you can't mean—" gasped rainsford. "and why not? " "i can't believe you are serious, general zaroff. this is a grisly joke." "why should i not be serious? i am speaking of hunting." "hunting? general zaroff, what you speak of is murder." rainsford’s response to zaroff indicates that he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans. he does not understand that zaroff is hunting humans. he will soon be joining zaroff in the hunt for humans. he thinks zaroff has the right to hunt humans.

Rainsford’s response to Zaroff indicates that he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans.

Note:

"I can't believe you are serious, General Zaroff. This is a grisly joke" (emphasize added)

"Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder" (emphasize added)

hope this helps

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
