His dad was a body builder for many years. This proves my thesis statement. He was born into the American culture and grew up to enjoy football-a typical American sport. His father was a weight lifter and “went to the gym to keep fit”, so now Justin enjoys those things. My second interviewee’s responses were a little surprising but still prove my hypothesis.
