HW: 

Blog Entry #1
Imagine that you are Sanger Rainsford and have escaped from Ship-Trap Island. You have been accused of murder—the murder of General Zaroff and his servant, Ivan. Using facts (evidence) from the text (this means you should summarize and quote from the text) you must write a defense speech that will prove your innocence. The speech must be at least ten sentences long. Remember, you are trying to prove your innocence so be as detailed as possible and use evidence (actual facts and occurrences from the story, the text) to clear your name. You may even call forth eyewitnesses if you so choose. 

This needs to be at least ten sentences long and needs to continue the story in some way or fashion keeping truthful to the original.

According to "Cumming Study Guides":
Who Wins the Game?

It appears that Rainsford wins the game. However, close examination of the ending leaves the question open. The key sentence to consider is this one spoken by Rainsford: “I am still a beast at bay.” Referring to himself as a beast may suggest that he has corrupted himself, like Zaroff. After he kills Zaroff—apparently in a knife duel—he sleeps in Zaroff's bed, as if he is Zaroff. In losing his life, Zaroff may have won Rainsford's soul.
