2. Read through the following passage from "Most Dangerous Game," then thoroughly answer this question in the box: Describe Rainsford's character. Cite evidence in your
response
Ten minutes of determined effort brought another sound to his
ears--the most welcome he had ever heard--the muttering and growling of
the sea breaking on a rocky shore. He was almost on the rocks before he
saw them; on a night less calm he would have been shattered against them.
With his remaining strength, he dragged himself from the swirling waters.
Jagged crags appeared to jut up into the opaqueness; he forced himself
upward, hand over hand. Gasping, his hands raw, he reached a flat place at
the top. Dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs. What perils
that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern
Rainsford just then. All he knew was that he was safe from his enemy, the
sea and that utter weariness was on him. He flung himself down at the
jungle edge and tumbled headlong into the deepest sleep of his life.
