I believe that instinct is no match for reason because reasoning always helps. When Rainsford was being hunted, he thought through every situation and that ended up leading him to win the hunt. Instinct is usually your fight or flight response that your body naturally has. Instinct may be the fast resolution but thinking things through and reasoning if something will help or hurt you is always the right way to go.
In the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" Rainsford uses reason many times. When he is being hunted by General Zaroff, he doesn't just run away or try to fight the general off. He tries to injury the General or mislead the general by using traps and fake tracks. He uses reason to keep himself alive. If he were to just use instinct, the General would have found him a lot sooner.

My family loves to travel. every year at christmas we travel south to the Caribbean or similar places. We've been to most of the Caribbean islands, Jamaica,, Costa Rica and much more. we like to get away from the cold and spend at least a week at a warm sunny beach. We also travel for birthdays, Fathers Day and right after school ends. We also go to Vegas a lot. My mom and I spend a relaxing weekend shopping and going to the spa. We go to 5-star restaurant and have glorious dinners. We also travel for volleyball tournaments. Just last year we went to Colorado, San Antonio, Downtown Dallas and Georgia. we go sight seeing and also go to nice dinners.
My mom works for Micheal's and she has to fly to china twice a year. She is gone for a least two weeks at a time and always comes back will new stuff every time. Before my dad retired, he traveled all over the country and Europe. He had worked for a company based in Europe so he would fly over there all the time. Later on, he stayed inside the country and lowered the amount of places he had to travel every year. He worked very hard for a long time so he could retire early and be able to be home with me. Since mt parents travel so much we have lots of miles with air companies and hotel status. This allows us to go on the luxurious trips we take. I think I'm am very strong mentally and physically. i make good grades and always do my work. Although I think I'm stronger physically. I play lots of sports and have no days off.I'm either working out or playing volleyball of some kind. I may not be able to lift hundreds of pounds but for my age I'm pretty far ahead. Staying in shape and keeping my strength is something i focus on all the time.
An example of my strength is workout Wednesday at school. every Wednesday we workout for at least an hour. We do ladders, sprints and much more. even st practice we do more workouts as a punishment after drills. This helps me get stronger and stay in good shape. Everyday I strive to get stronger an always get better. When I was about 10 years old my family gave my dog to my uncle. Sammi was the best dog ever but she always chewed stuff up and a lot of food out of the pantry. So my parents decided it would be best to give her away. I was very upset and begged them not to give her away but they did anyways. I begged them for years to get another dog. I did lots of research about the best type of dog to get. As i was beginning to lose hope i got the biggest surprise. I woke up at 7 am on my birthday to "go look at a house for my brother." In reality we were going to see a new born doberman. Xena was only about a week old at the time and still had her eyes closed. I was overwhelmed with joy and couldn't wait to take her home. Although she still need to get her ears clipped and get all the shots she needed. We had to wait for two months to get her. When I got home one night after a volleyball game I walked in and she was just sitting there in my living room. Ever since then she has been the best and happiest dog I could've asked for. |
