Have you ever had feelings about something that later changed? In 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Conel, I will show how one character changes his opinion about something after he has experienced it himself. Almost all of us have said 'Oh that's easy' or 'I could do that any day!' and then find out that the task is harder then it looked.

Rainsford was an excellent hunter who wrote many books about hunting. General Zaroff was a fan of Rainsford's books, so he immediately knew who Rainsford was when he found him.
