The novel I read was called “The Most Dangerous Game

My essential question is, “What is the danger of thrill seeking?”

The article “The Risks of High Sensation-Seeking Personalities” by Dr. Kenneth Carter explains that thrill seekers which we all know crave new experiences and the adrenaline. But those who do dangerous stunts daily, become more needy for something even more dangerous. Something that can be very serious in consequences.

Behavior: People who love adrenaline have their boundaires. But those who seek a challenge far greater than others have a behavior that sets them apart. They tend to be more aggressive.

In Richard Connell’s novel “The Most Dangerous Game” revolves around a hunter named Pitting Rainsford who craves adventure and adrenaline. He heads to “Ship-Trap Island.”
Little does he know that there is a hunter names General Zaroff who also craves the adrenaline. But he no longer feels satisfied hunting mere animals. He feels the rush, hunting bigger and more complex prey.

“It supplies me with the most exciting hunting in the world. No other hunting compares with it for an instant.”

This shows that an addiction to adrenaline, seeking thrills can affect someone drastically.

Like in Richard Connell’s work. People who have an addiction to the thrills in life, can become less satisfied with the things they once considered challenging.
A desire more greater than the rest of their goals, something that they cannot overcome. A dream that must be achieved.
