Hunter? or Prey?
Since time began, there has always been the predator and the prey. Its part of how the cycle of life has lasted this long. But can you imagine being the one hunted? Your heart would pound rapidly against your rib cage due to fear, your muscles tense. This is why I would rather be the hunter. In the story, the general mentioned to Rainsford that he never had one person make it through the three day hunting period. So, if no prey ever lived, it would be better to be the hunter. There is some fear when it comes to hunting, but even Rainsford, a very experienced hunter, had to remind himself to watch his nerve and stay calm so he would be focused and think clearly when he was the prey. Being the hunter, you are never in really in danger unless the person you were hunting knew how to set up traps such as a Burmese Tiger Pit. I really don’t like being over whelmed with fear, so that’s why I would rather be the hunter in a situation like this.

Very great paragraph Taylor! I think the intro was very strong because the "there has always been the predator and the prey" really makes me think what the paragraph is about. I also think that it's great that you added in details from the story to support you decision.
ReplyDeletei really like how you describe what it would feel like if you were the hunted
ReplyDeleteI don't agree because there are some people that stay calm no matter what even though they might be hunted. Overall though I believe this was a good blog because you vividly dicribe how a normal person would act during the time of being hunted.
ReplyDeletecori, if you stay calm while you are being hunted, there is something wrong with you. Its instinct to be scared, thats how its always been.
