The Most Dangerous Game: Plot Twist
When Rainsford was running away from Zaroff, he climbed up in a tree to hide after he had made his tricky trail to follow. He needed rest, so he tried to sleep, but he was much too afraid to get any rest. It is a good thing that he didn’t fall asleep because right then, he heard a man walking through the woods. When he looked up, he saw Zaroff standing at the base of the tree. Zaroff didn’t see Rainsford in the tree right away, and Rainsford stood as still as he possibly could. Zaroff’s eyes started to inch up the tree. When his eyes reached Rainsford, he smiled, he pulled out his gun and he started to climb up the tree.
He didn’t have any difficulty climbing the tree so he reached Rainsford in no time. Zaroff smirked and said to Rainsford, “Looks like you lost, not like I expected anything different. “ Then all of a sudden the tree branches started to move and sway they heard a loud noise on top of them and it got very windy. Then they looked up, saw lights and realized a helicopter was right above them. It was Whitney with the rest of the crew! They had organized a search party for Rainsford. Although Rainsford couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Whitney, he decided to make his move. Zaroff was still in shock that there was a helicopter hovering over them, so Rainsford took advantage of the distraction and kicked him out of the tree. Then Whitney put down a ladder and Rainsford started climbing up the latter to get away from Zaroff.
When he reached the helicopter, he quickly got in and shut the door. Then he gave Whitney a giant hug and they flew off. Rainsford asked Whitney all sorts of questions about how he got the helicopter and how he found him. Whitney had borrowed the helicopter from an old friend; who lived on the neighboring island. So after that he had quickly flown the helicopter over to Whitney and the crew, and then they were off to go look for Rainsford. Rainsford didn’t know it, but the day before he fell off the ship, Whitney had put a tracker on his arm while he was sleeping so anywhere he went Whitney could follow him. Whitney had lost Rainsford before, so he didn’t want that to happen again.
After returning the helicopter they sailed home. Since they never found Zaroff, Rainsford was always keeping a watchful eye for him and was always on his guard.
Mom's Diary
Mom's Dairy
My daughter is a beautiful young lady with short brown hair, dark eyes, and dark gorgeous skin. She is tall and slender with pretty clothes that flatter her nicely. I hope that she will be the best piano player in the world when she grows up. Also I hope that she will be the most beautiful girl in the world.
When I was on my to America, I was pregnant with twins, but I had a miscarriage and so I never had those 2 babies which was very devastating. I got pregnant again though about 2 years later and out came a beautiful baby girl that I named Ni Kan.
I have very high expectations for my baby girl because she is my only daughter and I want her to be amazing and accomplish big things. So I am going to push her to her fullest potential. I want her to respect me, and everyone she meets. She should be helpful in our family and follow my rules. She needs to be kind to every one. I want her to be a prodigy in many things, for instance, piano, chess, sewing, and singing.
Now that my daughter is getting older, I think it is time for me to start pushing her to her limits. I am going to sign her up for piano lessons.
Now that she is in piano, Ni Kan never obeys me anymore and it is making me very upset. She always pulls back and tries to get away with everything. All I am trying to do is help her to be a wonderful person but she will never listen to me.
Her temper is getting worse than ever and I don’t know what to do. I want to stop putting so much pressure on her but I’m afraid she will become lazy and she won’t want to do anything.
Today is the day of her piano recital and I am very anxious to see her play in front of all these people and to see how she handles the pressure. She looks gorgeous in her white dress. She started to play her piano piece but she was hitting so many wrong notes. I didn’t think someone could play piano that awful. I am very disappointed in her; but I will not give up on her because I see so much potential in my beautiful young daughter. Maybe one day she will realize that I just wanted what was best for her.
Death
Death: The Dog the Girl and the Man
Yes!! Today is the day that my parents are going on their big trip! I finally have freedom and I get the whole house to myself! I will start off by eating all the food in the house and lying on the couch and watching TV. Then I will go out to eat with all my friends and then this evening I will have a bunch of people over and we will have a party!! This will be the best day ever!
Those were my first thoughts of what turned out to be the worst day ever. It started off a great day. It was sunny and I ate my delicious food and watched a few TV. shows. I even went out to eat with my friends and I did have that big party that I had always wanted. We had an amazing time and it went till 1:00 in the morning!
After everyone left I was home alone again. I started to clean up the house because I didn’t want my parents to know that I had a big party. So after I cleaned everything up, I went downstairs and took a nice, long, hot shower. Then I went to bed and said goodnight to my pet dog named Chester. He always sleeps under my bed because it is nice and warm and dark under there.
As I drifted off to sleep I dreamt of parties and friends and food. Then I suddenly awoke to a sound of something dripping in my bathroom. I figured it was just water or something, but I was still a little freaked out, so whenever I get scared at night I always put my hand under my bed and my dog licks my hand for comfort. So I put my hand under my bed and Chester licked my hand and I knew everything was okay.
I fell back to sleep quickly but a little while later I heard a dripping noise in the bathroom again. I was tempted to go see what it was but I was too tired to get out of my bed, so I just dangled my hand below my bed again and Chester’s reassuring lick made me feel better.
I went back to sleep for about 30 minutes to again wake up to that annoying dripping noise! I finally decided to get out of bed to see what was up. So I crawled out of my bed and tiptoed to the bathroom right across the hall. The dripping noise seemed to come from the shower. So I opened the shower curtain, and there, hanging from a rope, was my dog, dripping blood.
I screamed because one, my dog was dead, and somebody did that either at the party or somebody was in my house, and two, what was licking my hand? I whipped my head around and standing there was a man with a black bag in his hand and said, “It is very nice and warm under your bed.” And then he put the bag over my head and dragged me into a car and drove off.
I have no idea where he drove me but right now I am in a dark room with my mouth covered so I can’t talk and the door is locked. I am trapped and I have no idea what is going to happen to me. This is the worst day ever.
