Sample→ We should have known that General Zaroff wasn’t to be trusted.
Quote: In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game”, after Rainsford mentioned that the Cape Buffalo was the most dangerous thing to hunt, the text states, “For a moment the general did not reply; he was smiling his curious red-lipped smile. Then he said slowly: “No. You are wrong, sir...here in my preserve on this island,” he said in the same slow tone, “I hunt more dangerous game”(Connell 19).
