The exposition is where the setting is established and the characters and introduced; so in "The Most Dangerous Game" it would probably be up until Rainsford falls off the boat and swims to General Zaroff's island.

In "The Most Dangerous Game," the basic situation involves a big-game hunter named Rainsford falling off a ship and finding himself on an island owned by General Zaroff, who hunts humans for sport. Rainsford must outsmart Zaroff in a deadly game of cat and mouse to survive.
In "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, Whitney is a character who represents the more civilized and empathetic side of humanity. He is Rainsford's friend and companion at the beginning of the story, and his concern for the lives of animals demonstrates his compassion and morality. Whitney's contrast with the story's antagonist, General Zaroff, highlights the theme of the story regarding the thin line between civilization and savagery.
ship-trap island in the 1900s
A ThunderStorm
Rainsford did not have a choice to go to ship trap island. At first he was on his boat and then he heard gun shots so he went to go check it out by standing on the ledge of the boat and then fell over board into the water. He started screaming for help but the boat went on..... Next Rainsford swam to the island.
