Most Dangerous Game Argumentative Essay

“The world is made up of two classes-the hunters and the huntees [...] Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if need be, taken by the strong (Connell 16).”
In the era that we are currently living in, we learn to mold ourselves to be forceful, cold, and firm. If not, the person with those following traits will assume that we are nothing, but inferior to them. Richard Connell in the text “The Most Dangerous Game” also believes that, there is no place for an animal to be in the world unless they “...have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason (Connell 15). Which is something we identify in our everyday life, especially in college; where we will go through many trials, self transformation, for the sake of the reward that comes

after the trial.
An individual must be forceful, cold, and firm when it comes to getting the classes that he/she needs specially if that person is on the waiting list or not even listed. In the text “The Most Dangerous Game” Connell emphasizes the emotions of “desperate, hopeless flight, that carried [...] on for some hours (Connell 22).” These are feelings that are familiar to us especially when we start doubting ourselves.

In life, we begin to recognize a pattern that for us to be recognized we must insert ourselves no matter how little chances of getting into that particular class may be.

This means that an individual must never give up no matter the odds, and with this we learn to never yield. We undergo into some sort of transformation. In the text of “The Most Dangerous Game” Connell implied that even Rainsford himself realized that if “...he must be a prey, he at least need to fight back against the hunter (Connell 22).” In this case, the hunter is our fellow classmates.
According to Richard Connell in the text “The Most Dangerous Game,” he claims that “God makes some men [...] kings, some beggars (Connell 14).” While we are alive, there are just some situations that we cannot control; For example, an individual may have been placed on the waiting-list, yet that same individual did not yield, and continued to fight against the odds. General Zaroff who is proud of himself to have never lost, showed no effort in hunting Rainsford and as a result, he ends up forfeiting like what most students do who show no effort ends up dropping the class instead, and the student who patiently waited gets enrolled into the

class.

College life is all about survival of the fittest. Each individual must face their own trials, conquer their demons in order to see the full potential of what they are about to receive. According from the text by Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game,” he claims that “Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if need be, taken by the strong (Connell 16).” I could not agree more. The prey must become the hunter to take down a hunter.
