The story gives detail about his life and his journey to the berlin Olympics during the troublesome time of World War II. I enjoyed Unbroken because of the detail the author put into Louis emotions. Louis was really nervous before the Berlin Olympics but channelled those nerves to power him on in the race. Louis showed his determination with all the hours of hard training he put in to getting a good result in the end. One more emotion Louis showed was love, Louis expressed this emotion to his loving mother and father who supported him with his training
Amir is firstly perceived in the novel as a young innocent Afghanistan boy, who enjoys playing with his servant friend, Hassan. Although their friendship is very strong, Amir was definitely the more powerful of the two boys, persuading Hassan “into firing walnuts with his slingshot at the neighbor’s one-eyed German shepherd” This friendship was very strong, it seemed almost unbreakable until the day of the huge kite tournament, in the winter of 1975. Amir won the tournament, whilst he was in the midst of celebrating he looked up at his father “and that right there was the single greatest moment of [his] twelve years of life, seeing Baba on that roof proud of [him] at last.” Just to signify Hassan’s loyalty and love towards Amir, Hassan runs the kite and says to Amir Jan, “for you, a thousand times over” and keep that promise he did. Hassan was beaten and raped just so he could return the Kite that rightfully belonged to Amir. Amir saw this event take place, “[he] could [of] [stepped] into that alley, and [stood] up for Hassan-the way he’d stood up for [Amir] all those times in the past… or [he] could run.
Victoriously, the other boxer bounces around the ring celebrating just as the beaten boxer picks himself up with his manager’s help. Boxing fans would have pondered as to who would come out on top in a fantasy matchup between boxing’s two biggest ever attractions, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Ali and Tyson represented a far cry of styles: Ali substantiated the naturally gifted and charismatic boxers, a winner in and out of the boxing ring, never smudging his reputation after his career, while Tyson demonstrated a street thug who won in the boxing ring, but with little to say outside and lost his public appeal, as the saying goes “the bigger they are the harder they fall.” Firstly, experts and the public alike didn’t think much of Ali’s skills, or his personal behavior. They disliked and thought he indulged in flaunting and over confidence like saying “I am the greatest”, the way in which he portrayed himself and his opponent for an upcoming bout. He ironically went on to be known as “The Greatest.” Ali arrived on the boxing scene by winning a Gold medal in the 1960 Olympics.
The Godfather I & II “The godfather” that’s by John E. Moscowitz, was successful in the way of how the scenes where shot. The viewer’s witness scenes where violence could be noticeable: Such as when Connie throws dishes, vases onto the ground after her husband is about to leave with the woman he is cheating on her with. Connie gets furious because she prepared food for him. She gets hit with a belt many times, after her husband going around the house chasing after her. Viewers can hear her scream, after each time she gets hit.
The Ethical Dilemma of Oscar Pistorius “You can succeed at anything if you put your mind to it.” This statement seems to be one that we hear endlessly as we grow older. Sometimes this is proven true, as could be perceived from the case of Oscar Pistorius. Oscar is an Olympic sprinter, with one big difference from his competition-both of his legs are non-existent below the knee. Instead of legs, he uses a folded metal spring mechanism that acts in the same way as a human calf and foot. Pistorius was born with a congenital disease that caused him to have both of his legs amputated just below his knees when he was less than a year old.
The way they ended the movie was very well done; the climax at the end brought me to tears. There were two shots that I really liked at the end. A close-up of Bruno's father shows that he is devastated by what happened to his son. Another really great shot in the movie, which really made you feel like you were there watching it all happen to them. Was at the very end, it slowly zooms out and shows the door to the “gas room” slowing closing, as it continues to zoom out it shows all of the prisoners clothes lying on the floor, giving you an idea of how many were killed that day.
There is the emotion of heroism. My father loved Joe Louis and Jesse Owens, and he wasn't alone. They were icons of an era. After Louis defeated Primo Carnera in 1935, a writer for The Los Angeles Times gushed: ''The colored race couldn't have chosen two more remarkable men than Jesse Owens and Joe Louis to be its outstanding representatives. Owens is being hailed as the greatest track and field athlete of all time, same thing goes for 'Dead Pan' Joe Louis, whose decisive defeat of Carnera has sent the scribes scurrying to the dictionaries seeking superlatives of greater scope than any they've used before.''
This is odd concidering the modern running shoe technology has increased so much scene then. Whether it’s the motion control technology or the exstensive cushioning, the problems just keep getting worse. A closer look at the history of the modern running shoe shows that they were invented by a “coach” who barely started jogging at age fifty. This man’s name was Bowerman, and he was the man who started Nike on the belief that he could make a better shoe to “fix” peoples form by helping them heel strike through adding more cushioning to the shoe. Before the modern shoe all runners had one form, running with their backs straight knees bent and feet coming back under their hips.
The author, Khaled Hosseini, uses the symbol of the kite to demonstrate that every human has his or her ups and downs. To be able to understand the theme of the kite, the reader must understand how the kite reflects Amir’s life. Flying kites is what Amir enjoys the most as a little boy, also because he wants to be like Baba, a champion kite fighter, and this is when the kite is flying high and efficiently. In the book Amir says, “But all I head-all I willed myself to hear-was the thudding of blood in my head. All I saw was the blue kite.
Muhammad Ali is my hero because of the standard he set as an athlete, the pride he possesses and allocates, and because of the love he incorporates within his approach to life. Even as a young boy named Cassius Clay, Ali showed signs of impeccable dedication and a willingness to succeed. At age 12, Clay had his bike stolen and he was extremely displeased. He even found a policeman and said he was going to “whoop” whoever had stolen his bike. Whether by chance or by fate, this policeman, Joe Martin, turned out to be a youth boxing trainer and he took young Clay under his wing.
