Paraphrasing involves rewording others' speech or the
words of their texts without changing the general import of these words.  Therefore, in
order to reword accurately phrases and sentences taken from narratives, for instance,
the reader will also need to examine the context of the
phrases and sentences to be paraphrased.

Regarding the
passage quoted above, the context of these words of General
Zaroff are early in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game." On the first night of
Rainsford's arrival on Ship-Trap Island, he has mistakenly sought refuge at the castle
of the general; later, after having bathed and dressed for dinner, Rainsford is
conducted by Ivan to the dining room.  There, the general, who has "an almost bizarre
quality to his face," entertains Rainsford.  In the course of their conversation, the
general explains that he hunts "more dangerous game" than the big game that Rainsford
seeks which for the general has lost its challenge.  So, the general says with great
import, he now hunts the "idea quarry" that has courage, cunning, and "above all, it
must be able to reason."  Horrified, Rainsford understands the implications of Zaroff's
declaration.

When Rainsford tells Zaroff that his actions
are "cold-blooded murder," the general laughs; he insists that he is a hunter, not a
murderer, rationalizing that "life is for the strong....Why should I not use my gift?" 
With equal sang-froid, he then explains how his prey arrives on the
island.

Taking Rainsford to the window, he exclaims, "Watch
Out there!"  At first Rainsford can see nothing but blackness; however, after the
general presses a button, there are beckons of light far out on the sea.  These lights,
the general laughing explains, are the types of lights that normally indicate a
channel for ships to enter safely at night.  However, once the ships head in the
direction of the lights, they soon strike razor-sharp rocks that crush their hulls,
sinking them.  Then, in order to demonstrate the tremendous crushing action of the
monster rocks, the general drops a walnut on the hardwood floor and grinds it with his
heel.
