“The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell tells a story that brings to life the question, “Does Might make Right?” Is General Zaroff right to hunt people not animals because he is stronger? When Zaroff claims, “Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if need be, taken by the strong” (Connell 11) does that make him correct?
Write a two paragraph argument taking a position for or against Zaroff, using specific and relevant evidence from the story.
