Reread the last line of "The Most Dangerous Game."
He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided.
What effect does that closing line create as the story ends? Explain, using details from the story.
Answer:
This quote is part of the last line of Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game." The rest of the sentence reveals that it is Rainsford who is enjoying the bed. This means Rainsford finally defeated and killed General Zaroff. Earlier, Rainsford came ashore on Zaroff's private island, which Zaroff uses to hunt men. Throughout the deadly contest between the two men, Rainsford only barely staved off the relentless Zaroff in their cat-and-mouse game across the length of the island. In the end, Rainsford jumped from the cliffs across from Zaroff's chateau. Zaroff believed Rainsford to be dead, but Rainsford was able to swim ashore and hide in Zaroff's bedroom, where he confronts the general. As soon as he discovers Rainsford, Zaroff promptly congratulates his foe on winning the game, but Rainsford is not satisfied and says he is "still a beast at bay." Pleased by the game will continue, Zaroff says,
Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed. On guard Rainsford.
Since Rainsford is comfortable in the bed in the final line, he ultimately defeated the general. The reader might also assume Zaroff was then fed to the dogs ("a repast for the hounds"), but this is never explicitly stated.
Explanation:
The last line leaves the reader to infer that Rainsford has killed Zaroff, contrasting Zaroff's chilling death with Rainsford's rewarding night's sleep.
This quote is part of the last line of Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game." The rest of the sentence reveals that it is Rainsford who is enjoying the bed. This means Rainsford finally defeated and killed General Zaroff. ... The other will sleep in this very excellent bed.
Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”
Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.
Which phrase from the excerpt uses formal English?
“many of us enjoy sampling books”
“that activity can be justified by no one”
“as we know more and more”
“the breads of many many groups”
Answer: That activity can be justified by no on

For anyone who has read the the book, Holes: 1. How might digging holes every day in the hot sun turn a bad boy into a good boy? 2. Why did Stanley's family have him sent to camp? 3. What is scapegoating? How might one feel good by doing it? 4. How can being hopeful be a curse? Do you agree or disagree? Why? 5. Why do you think Mr. Pendanski is called "Mom" by the boys at the camp? 6. How does coincidence play a part in Stanley's being charged with sneaker theft? Explain in detail. Thanks in advance!
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Digging holes in the hot sun can turn a bad boy into a good one because of the pure heat alone is punishment. 2. Stanley's family sent him there because he was "caught" stealing shoes. 3. Scapegoating is putting the blame on others. For instance if I was to cheat on a test and then put it on my friend Brad then that is scapegoating. It makes people feel good because it gives them the satisfaction of knowing that they got away with it. 4. Being hopeful can be a curse because it gets your hopes up and then when you find out the opposite happened then if crushes you and makes you feel helpless. 5. They call Mr. Pendanski "mom" because he treats them like an abusive parent. But he is still in charge of taking care of them. 6. Coincidence happens to have Stanley charged with theft because he was in the wrong place in the wrong time. I hope this helped!!!

It shows that Grendel is not happy about the ever happiness and the loud enjoyment he hears everyday coming from King Hrothgar's mead hall. He is envious of the joy he hears from the hall.

What is meant by central idea?All of the other fictional devices the author employs to tell the story are connected by the major notion, which acts as the narrative's overarching theme. The main idea can be characterized as either the overriding impression or the overall, overarching truth presented in the narrative.
The main idea can frequently be stated in a single sentence. Julia's report card revealed poor grades. She didn't show her parents her report card because she was worried she would be in trouble. After learning about her grades, her parents admonished her for attempting to hide the information.
