2/5

1. Rainsford falls off of the yacht after he dropped his pipe into the water.2. Rainsford tried to scream for Whitney, but all the water was drowning him so he swam to

land after hearing gunshots and a screaming animal. Once he reaches land, he finds

human footsteps, so he follows them.

3. After following the footsteps, he comes upon a mansion in the jungle and goes into it to

see whats going on.

4. After going into the mansion, he meets General Zaroff and Ivan. The General tells him

about how much he loves to hunt, but has grown tired of hunting animals, so he has

started to hunt down and kill anyone who dares to come onto Ship Trap Island. The

General is talking with Rainsford, and they come to an agreement. If Rainsford can

survive three days in the jungle without The General killing him, Rainsford may leave the

island and survive, but if he cannot, he dies. The General gives Rainsford a knife and

some other supplies and Rainsford takes off into the jungle.

5. After Rainsford runs as far away from the mansion as he can, he finds a tree that he

climbs into and spends the night there.

6. After he wakes up from his sleep, he climbs down and continues to run away. But while

running, he thinks he should run in a circle to trick The General and Ivan.

7. After running in the circle, the two hunter see Rainsford but let him go because they

thought it had already been too easy so they gave him another chance. Rainsford setup a

Burmese Tiger Pit trap. He dug a pit into the ground next to the quicksand he fell into,

and put sharp pointed stakes at the bottom and covered it with leaves and other objects he

found. So when the two hunters and their hunting dog were passing by, their hunting dog

fall in into the pit and died.

8. After that trap, Rainsford had built a Malay Man Catcher trap which was supposed to

trap one of the two hunters, but had failed to and was a missed hit.

9. On the third day of running, he had built his final trap; the Uganda Knife Trick trap.

After waiting for The General and Ivan to come by, Ivan had set off the trap and Ivan was

killed by the knife stabbing him.

10. Before Ivan died, he had been traveling with The General and a pack of hunting dogs.

The hunting dogs had driven Rainsford to the cliff, which he decided he must jump off

and hope for the best. The General finds out that he jumped and thought to himself, he

had cheated the game.

11. Even though Rainsford jumped off the cliff, he landed in water and survived. He swam

to land and made his way back to the mansion in the jungle.

12. After finding the mansion, it was night time. The General had been sleeping in his bed.

Rainsford crept up to his room and woke up The General. The General said that he won

and may stay in the mansion or leave. But The General also said one of us are going to

be sleeping in this bed, and the other is going to be the dog food. Rainsford killed

General Zaroff and said he had the most comfortable bed to sleep in that night.


4/5

1. Rainsfords Circle Walking Trick- Rainsoford had walked in circles for a little bit so it

would fool General Zaroff of which direction Rainsford actually went.

2. Rainsfords Burmese Tiger Pit Trap- This was done by digging a hole in the ground and

placing sharp stakes in it and covering it up so its in disguise and whoever walking over

it falls in it and gets stabbed by the stakes.

Rainsfords Malay Man Catcher- This trap was made by putting a fork-like object up in a3.

tree, and when its triggered, it falls on top of the person that triggered it and traps them

to the ground so they cant move around a lot or get up.

4. Rainsfords Uganda Knife Trick- This trap is made my tying a knife to a sapling, bendingover the sapling, and then stabbing the knife into the ground, and when sprung, the knife

flies up and stabs whoever sprung the trap.
