Expository Paragraphs

I believe that most people want to be naturally good, but they're not. In The Most Dangerous Game Rainsford hunts animals for fun. He did not understand that the creatures he was hunting had feelings just like him. Zaroff hunts humans because he is bored of hunting animals. He says that humans are a "better gain" for his hunting skills. Eventually Zaroff hunts Rainsford. Rainsford begins to feel that being hunted is not fun. The same with animals, it's not fun for them either. Even though Rainsford learned his lesson, that does not make him a good person, it just means that he won't hunt anymore. He could still do something selfish or evil.

In my experiences, I learned that no matter how much you want to be or how many times you say you are, you really aren't naturally good. One point or another in your life, you will do something selfish. When I was younger, me and my friend went egging houses. The first couple of housed we egged without getting caught. But that last house we egged, we were caught by the cops. Right there and then I knew I did something bad and that I would get punished for what I had done. But my friend did not see it that way. Right away he told the cops that it was my idea to egg houses and that I made him do it. Of course, that was not true. He tried to get out of being in trouble by blaming me for it all, and acting like a victim. That was really selfish. In the end, the cops knew he had devised the idea and committed the crime willingly. How? I don't know, all I know is that we both got in trouble for egging houses.
