Hi, my sweets! Sorry I have to be out today. I'm home with two sick kids. :(
So, first things first: you were supposed to do your song lyric presentations today. Obviously that isn't going to happen since I'm out and I want to hear them to get to know you. We will push that assignment to Friday. BE PREPARED. You have absolutely no excuse not to have that presentation ready.
Here are your assignments for today. You will turn all of these assignment in to Mrs. Baker by the end of the class period.
You need to read "The Most Dangerous Game" on pp. 16-36 of the green textbook (at the back of the room on top of the filing cabinet). You then need to answer #'s 1-7 on p. 37. You also need to answer the following short answer questions. Each answer should be between 2-3 sentences.

- Do you think that the story is a commentary on the ethics of hunting? Why or why not? What moral positions could be drawn out from the text?
- The title "The Most Dangerous Game" can be read in two different ways. Describe them and how they relate to the story.
- Do you agree with Zaroff's belief that "instinct is no match for reason"? Why or why not? In what ways does Rainsford demonstrate both instinct and reason during the hunt?
