p. 216 – “Nonsense,” laughed Rainsford. “This hot
weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist.
The world is made up of two classes – the hunter
and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters.
Do you think we’ve passed that island yet?”
p. 217– An abrupt sound startled him. Off to the
right he heard it, and his ears, expert in such
matters, could not be mistaken. Again he heard the
sound, and again. Somewhere, off in the
blackness, someone had fired a gun three times.
p. 218– He forced himself upward, hand over hand.
Gasping his hands raw, he reached a flat place at
the top. Dense jungle came down to the very edge
of the cliffs... All he knew was that he was safe
from his enemy, the sea.
p.218-219 – “Where there are pistol shots, there are
men. Where there are men, there is food,” he
thought. But what kind of men, he wondered, in so
forbidding a place?
p. 219– The first thing Rainsford’s eyes discerned
was the largest man Rainsford had ever seen – a
gigantic creature, solidly made and blackbearded to
the waist. In his hand the man held a long-barreled
revolver, and he was pointing it straight at
Rainsford’s heart.
This passage is important because it shows what
Rainsford thinks of the world. He says that there are
two groups in the world. I think he means that some
people are hunters and in control. Other people are
followers. He seems like the kind of person who
wants to stay in control.
