Eyeshild 21 Research Paper

1123 Words5 Pages

es21 otherpic Eyeshield 21 is one of the best sports manga of all time. Very few manga in this genre manage to excel at so many different aspects at once. I've given a fairly general overview of this manga in the article linked above, but in this post I will go more in depth as to what makes Eyeshield 21 such an amazing title that everyone should read. Kobayakawa Sena is a wimpy, weak high school student. It seems like his fate is to run errands for the school's local delinquents (really weak ones, too, in comparison to the ones in this list) and to go unnoticed until his graduation. Sena does have a unique talent, though: He is unnaturally fast and agile. The school's American football club captain, Hiruma, notices this ability and recruits him for the team. By the way, in this world's …show more content…

You have a huge main cast, the "Deimon Devil Bats", all with unique personalities and playstyles. Hiruma, the team captain and quarterback, is a hilarious devilish schemer. Kurita, the main lineman (defender) is a fat guy that loves to eat and is incredibly strong, but very kind and peaceful. And there's about 9 more main characters, including Sena, who all get their own backstories, personalities and development. The supporting cast, consisting mainly of several recurring rivals, is also well constructed with background stories and development. Every single rival brings something new to the story - they're not just a stronger version of a previous villain, like so many shounen manga do (looking at you, Dragonball). The sports genre is perfect for a good coming of age story based on character development. Eyeshield 21 manages to focus on Sena's growth as a human through playing American football without sacrificing the story's action and fast pace. But the thing that truly sets Eyeshield 21 apart from every single other sport manga that I know of, is that every single character gets

    In my opinion I believe that Joshua Phillips’ life was dictated and shaped by his childhood upbringing. I believe this because violent homes greatly affect children’s mental health and the way they grow up. Children only reflect what adults decide to show them, so living in a house with a violent parent and experiencing domestic abuse is bound to result in some kind of changed behavior. Joshua Earl Patrick Phillips was born on March 17, 1984 in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Steve and Melissa Phillips.

The poem “Friday Night Lights” by Gerald Locklin summarizes some of the emotions that come with playing a sport, and brings about a deeper thought process. Being a part of a sport becomes your life, it teaches life lessons, helps build your personality, and shows you passions you never would have dreamed of.

    the second half of the story the plot digresses from that and becomes more about trying to bust the coach for his wrong doings. It left me scratching my head as to why, when, where and how something happened far too often. Although the plot is a bit convoluted at times it is fairly good as a whole. I feel this book has a fairly sub-par plot and supporting characters but the great protagonist is what is keeping this book afloat. Without him this book would not have been a below average book

  • Boy 21 Book Summary

    530 Words  | 3 Pages

    The book I have chosen to review is Boy 21, a fictional read that is written by Matthew Quick. Quick is a New York Times best-selling author debuting in novels such as The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail. To best describe this book, it is a captivating read that is comforting for the mind, as it canvasses the raw and unflinching life of a high school senior who displays love for basketball and life relationships. Furthermore, set in a troubled Belmont city of Philadelphia, Quick incorporates the presence of mobs and violence which is captivating towards the reader and audience. I was intrigued about how the novel was written through Finley the main protagonist, which was Quick’s childhood perspective of life in Philadelphia and his passion towards basketball.

  • The Bluest Eye Beauty Standards Essay

    What is the most pressing issue facing society today? In The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison argues that it is beauty standards, even calling physical beauty “the most destructive idea[] in the history of human thought” (122). While this may seem outrageous in a world of terrorism, global warming, homelessness, and hunger, beauty standards and the feelings of inferiority that stem from them affect everybody. In severe cases, these feelings can even manifest themselves deeply inside of a person and lead to eating disorders, depression, anxiety, self-hatred, and even suicide. In The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison uses the insecurities of the female characters to demonstrate that beauty standards are a danger to society, as they perpetuate racism and self-hatred.
