Paret's Last Fight Analysis

Norman Mailer uses emotional and logical appeals to deliver his opinion on the integrity of the sport of boxing. By using words such as “proud” and discussing the logical implications of a fighter who is able to take more punches than anyone else. By choosing to write the last fives sentences from the perspective of the audience, he brings the reader into the ring and invites them to consider what it would be like to watch a man get beat to death by another for sport. He describes the audience including himself as “hypnotized” because of the beating that was taking place not even ten feet from him.

This business purchase would prove to be his most challenging. The Mavericks had gone more than a decade of not making it to the playoffs and he was forced to revamp not only the team culture, but also a new stadium. Cuban was already known for his enthusiasm and over the top attitude and he showed this by sitting among the fans, egging on opponents, and throwing shame to the referees. He was fined $100,00 for confronting referees and using inappropriate language towards them and an additional $100,00 for comments he had made while trying to sign LeBron James during an interview. In the first year owned by Cuban, the Mavericks qualified for the playoffs.

Arthur easily cut the Black Knight’s limbs for his body one by one. As Arthur continued to dismember the Black Knight he still argued with Arthur that he would win while denying his injury altogether. He shouted phrases such as “Tis but a scratch”, “The Black Knight always triumphs”, and “I am invincible” despite being easily defeated (Jones). This is quite unique because many other renditions of the character showcased him as a noble warrior. The producers of Monty Python and the Holy Grail portrayed The Black Knight in this way to satirize these previous interpretations.

Due to anger, Count Rugen killed Domingo and devastated Inigo’s life. Inigo became focused in mastering the technique of sword.

The title character boasts for a final time when he’s going to confront the unnerving dragon, “I’ve never known fear, as a youth, I fought in endless battles. I am old now, but I will fight again, seek fame still, if the dragon hiding in his tower dares to face me.” (5-10, 88) This is an honorable statement because it shows that, despite Beowulf being very old, he still assists people in need and is willing to battle one last time against a superior antagonist, but with personal aspirations for prestige or wealth if he was going to die fighting for what was right for the deprived people of southern

One of the biggest hero qualities Beowulf was his courage. Having the strength of 30 men, he battled against all types of foes and claimed victory. When he told the people that he will battle

The poem clearly depicts Beowulf as a man of superhuman strength. He displayed this power by killing Breca in which his “sword had killed nine sea monsters”(). His Strength is also demonstrated when he kills Grendel. He faced a difficult challenge, but accomplishes the task quickly and efficiently. "When it comes to fighting I count

One example on loyalty is from Inigo’s backstory when his father was killed. “I, Inigo Montoya do challenge you, coward, pig, killer, ass, fool to a battle”(page 132) After Domingo died, Inigo tried to fight the six fingered man, and even though he is only 10 years old and so smol, he does not hesitate to fight this man because he loved his father in their own weird way. This is important because from the very beginning it sets up Inigo's main plot line for the rest of the story, his purpose is essentially to train and then find and beat this man. Another example is from Fezziks backstory and helps to begin his plot line. Fezzik was a wrestler and he didn't want to but his parents believed it was best for him and the family.

The problem with some sports like boxing, the whole intent is “...to knock his opponent down, stunning him so severely that he can not regain his feet before the referee counts to ten”(Grabianowski). Many people enjoy watching this along with karate, and wrestling, which are all sports that leave the opponent on the ground. On average, about 10 million people watch ultimate fighting year around(People Who Watched UFC). These people use violence as entertainment, so why is it chosen over something like riding a bike, reading a book, or watching a non violent movie?

The main character in the Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford, endured numerous troublesome trials. The last trial he endured, in my opinion, was the hardest; giving him the chance to attack and kill Zaroff right then and there, instead choosing not to take advantage of the situation. Ultimately, he confronted and challenged him to a fair and even sword fight, the winner getting to keep Zaroff 's home while the loser was fed to the dogs. This act shows a great deal of Rainsford 's character and personality, proving to be a man of honor and fairness, with respect in this scenario. Rainsford allowed an even fight to take place, and as a result, for his actions, he won while Zaroff received what he truly deserved.

In the “Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven” Sherman Alexie explores an anxiety that is often shared by minority groups trying to navigate through society. In the personal narrative Alexie is able to convey the struggle to find one's sense of belonging in a place where your existence is a second thought at best. This story also touches on the fear of how trapping “home” can feel when someone striving for more. To best illustrate these concepts Alexie uses mostly metaphor, historical context, and humor..

Sherman Alexie’s Survival Equation and the Resilience of Native American Culture Sherman Alexie’s The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven portrays the hardships faced by Native Americans at the hands of the overpowering force of mainstream American culture. Alexie uses multiple perspectives in his book to convey the complexity of the situation on the reservation. However, his recurring themes such as survival, tradition, and underlying cultural ties connect the stories together as does the overarching message about the resilience of Native American people and their culture. With these consistent themes, the multiple perspectives found in his stories prove the validity of his cultural points due to their repetition. In his composite novel, Alexie reveals the resilience of Native American culture by breaking it down into a mathematical equation
