‘Run, Hide, Fight’ is the government equivalent of ‘The Most Dangerous Game’

‘The Most Dangerous Game,’ a short story by Richard Connell, tells the harrowing tale of a hunter named Rainsford who finds himself in danger after falling off a ship and swimming to what appears to be an abandoned island. He comes across another hunter named Zaroff on the island who, after some dialogue, decides to hunt Rainsford. Rainsford is given a knife and a head start while Zaroff gets to use a gun. Obviously, Zaroff’s game is cruel and unfair. Sure, he gives Rainsford a knife, but a knife is hardly the ideal weapon of self-defense when compared to a gun, and because of this unfair advantage, Zaroff has been able to take many lives prior to Rainsford, who only bested Zaroff in the end as he was a more skilled hunter. And while we can recognize this as cruel and unfair, this is a situation that any child can be put into when placed in a school that doesn’t allow guns on the property. <a href="https://medium.com/@BASEDinKS/run-hide-fight-is-the-government-equivalent-of-the-most-dangerous-game-f1e215a0d29b">Visit Now</a>
