ENGLISH - 1st trimester – Day 12

Imagine that “The Most Dangerous Game” was a fable for cyborgs. Write down 5 positive lessons (or truths) that cyborgs would learn from the story if we inputted it into their memories. Remember, the lessons must be positive.
For example: All people, all nationalities, are to be respected.

Quietly read the 3 definitions at the top of page 4 of your Literary Terms handout - metaphor, simile, personification.
Watch metaphor video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0edKgL9EgM

Identify metaphor, simile, personification in 7 examples from “The Most Dangerous Game”
1. . . . but even you can’t see four miles or so through a moonless night.” “Nor four yards,” admitted Rainsford. Ugh? “It’s like moist black velvet.”

2. “It’s so dark,” he thought, “that I could sleep without closing my eyes; the night would be my eyelids.”
3. He struggles up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face.

4. Ten minutes of determined effort brought another sound to his ears—the most welcome he had ever heard—the muttering and growling of the sea.
5. The revolver pointed rigidly as if the giant was a statue.

6. Rainsford’s impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther.
7. Zaroff was the cat; he was the mouse.
