Amigo Brothers Summary

The Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation, in my opinion was an interesting book to read. The beginning was a bit slow, and I was not expecting to enjoy reading it as I did. I found some points the author made to be exquisitely written, and the book gave me deeper insights into certain aspects of history I had never considered before. I both learned, and expanded on prior knowledge of many historical accounts included in the book. I enjoyed how the author gave both sides of the story. In the beginning of each chapter, he would have the story how we would read it in our text books, and learn in in our history classes. Then, he would give his

In the reading “Some Lines for a Younger Brother”, the writer brought back her memories of what she remembered from her younger brother.

Her family had to move to the Manzanar Relocation Center. When the writer started talking about moving to the relocation center she started bringing in more details, this was also a main point and very big part of the reading.

The ultimate goal of a boxing match is a knock out. The knockout punch brings satisfaction to the winner of the boxing math and the crowd. This one punch can make a fight exciting. However, if there is not a knockout punch, the fight is often times dull. After a knockout punch, one man loses consciousness while the other man dances around the ring raising his hands in victory and is swarmed by his coaches and the press. Oates continues to argue that boxing is the cruelest sport by comparing a boxing match to a tragedy. If a fight has no knock out by the end, it seems like the fight is missing something. The knockout punch is a cruel but key aspect to boxing which makes people love

Millions of people worldwide take part as spectators to the sport of prize fighting: better known as boxing. In a 1962 essay entitled “Who Killed Benny Paret?” the author, Norman Cousins, writes about the dangers that come with the sport of boxing. He especially talks about a match that resulted in the death of a boxer named Benny Paret. Cousins argues that boxing is just a show of violence and that boxers put themselves in the ring just for the simple purpose of entertaining a crowd. Even though investigations reflect the role of the referee, Paret’s manager, and the doctor’s examinations as the main cause of Paret’s death, Cousins blames Paret’s death on the people that attends boxing matches to see a man get hurt or knockout because he
