What is the reading strategy or "questioning the text" when reading "The Most Dangerous Game"?

Questioning the text is a most important skill!  When you read a fabulous story, like Connell's, you have to ask yourself, "Why would a very famous big game hunter be hunted by another human?"  If you continue to read on and keep asking that important question, the text will draw you to the answer; "Because sometimes we become what we live."  Why a scary, ominous castle?  (That indicates something is very wrong.)  Why such aristocratic etiquette in a remote place?  (That indicates things aren't what they appear.)  Why is this story being narrated by a third person?  We know that 3rd person gives the author room to make dramatic changes easily because we aren't tied to a character. (That indicates that there will be severe changes in the story; for instance, Zaroff the hunter, becomes the hunted.)  Keep asking those questions!  The author has all of the answers.  All you have to do is find them!
