William I used castles such as Rockingham to stamp his authority across England, the castles were used as a chain of command aiding him to take over England. These castles or fuelled William with the terror he needed in order to conquer England efficiently and successfully, the castles have been dubbed ‘Engines of Terror’ by Schama. Castles had to be placed in Strategic Locations in order to fulfil their full potential as symbols of power, therefore preventing revolt. These locations were chosen for a number of reasons, the height of land, the location in England and how easily accessible resources were, would all be taken into account when looking for the best place to situate a castle. There were many reasons why castles such as Rockingham were built, for example when William introduced the feudal system to England castles played a key role helping the system to run efficiently.

And fear the time when the strikes stop while the great owners live—for every little beaten strike is proof that the step is being taken.” | Pg.151 | This is one of my favorite quotes from the book. It was odd at first that Steinbeck started giving war a positive light, however after reading it over I completely agreed with the quote. Man is constantly moving forward step by step. This also reminded me of how in the book Tom was just trying to put “one foot in front of the other” so that he could deal with his situation. Men always advance and as they do, it can be a struggle so it is almost like everyone is just stumbling

Ender would stay up and train and study everything he could to beat all the missions he had. “What matters is that he won the game that couldn’t be won” (66) ender had a lot of problems with the other launches because of his success and would often have to stand up for himself. Before ender made his moves he would study the actions of the enemy in his head to map out his action plan and make his move. No one else was as determined to be the best as ender was.

Also, both Johnson and Owens excessively celebrated when a touchdown was scored. After having some successful seasons each of these men considered himself the best player in the league, showing that they are both overly confident. Both Johnson and Owens will be seen yelling at their coach when they don’t get the ball as many times as they would like to during a game, showing the passion that each has for the game that they love and have played since they were
He acknowledges his new status as he says “I have succeeded the full power of the throne” (1.1). Creon not only inherited the throne, but also a tragic flaw - ego. There is evidence throughout Antigone that convey how Creons’ ego strengthens from inheriting the highest position in society. From the start of his reign, Creon wants to prove that he has power by instilling fear in the citizens. He gave orders – such as, one is to touch Polyneicés’ body.
Competing Amongst Men As far as the history textbooks go back men have always been competitive. It could be over women, sports, eating, or any other activity. Men just want to achieve, at least that is more than others. In 2010 Nick Saban and Mack Brown did a commercial for ESPN for College Gameday and encourages men to be competitive.
