Rainsford, a guy who enjoys hunting, falls off his ship and swims to an island. He got trapped there with Zaroff. Zaroff likes hunting, but he likes hunting people. He ends up hunting Rainsford when he comes to the island.

Zaroff didn´t expect Rainsford to swim but Rainsford was used to the water. ¨´Rainsford!´ screamed the general. ´How in God's name did you get here?´ ´śwam´, said Rainsford. ´I found it quicker than walking through the jungle´¨ (34). Rainsford knew that he would have less problems if he just swam. Him being on the island got him prepared for what he had to deal with.

When Rainsford was being hunted, he hid from Zaroff and the jungle made it easier for him. And from what Rainsford had to go at the beginning of the story, it made things easier for him to stay alive because he was used to it.The island made is easier for the story to happen just like classrooms make it easier for students to learn.
