* The Most Dangerous Game Review Tuesday * Timed Writing 1. Game Changer: After Zaroff’s death and the ensuing police investigation, an international committee is debating how the General’s island should be used now that it is not occupied. The two prevailing options are to convert the island into a resort hotel or to make it into an endangered animal sanctuary. In a letter addressed to the international community, convince the committee to choose one option over the other. Defend your answer with supporting evidence and include references to the text in your argument. 2. Ivan the Terrible: The reader knows very little about Ivan beyond his physical description. How did he come into the General’s service? Why is he so devoted to the general? Is he actually “deaf and dumb” as the General claims? What is his background? Write a piece that serves as a prequel to the short story and discusses Ivan’s background and how/when he met the General. Refer to descriptions of the two men from the text as you are writing Wednesday * Most Dangerous Game Quiz * Due Wednesday end of class: ReadTheory (3) Thursday * The Gift of the Magi * Class discussion: what makes a gift not a gift?
