Starring in a six movie series, Rocky Balboa touched the hearts of countless Americans through his battles with other fictional boxers. In each successive film, Rocky was presented with life crises’, tough opponents, and his aging body. He came to define the notorious underdog continually drawing strength from previous obstacles to surpass odds and succeed. Rocky’s ability to keep moving forward, regardless of the challenge, is what made him who he is. Although my individual battle may be different, I mirror Rocky’s ability to constantly be persistent especially in regards to school and working out.

Arnold was born on January 14, 1741 in Norwich, Connecticut. He was one of five children, and only him and his sister survived childhood.

Like Arnold Spirit in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, I act in different ways depending on my surroundings. While Arnold acts different when he is at Rearden as opposed to his reservation, I act one way on the soccer field and another at school. One example that shows how I act on a soccer field was during the finals of a soccer tournament. My club team had reached the finals of a long and hard fought tournament, and in our way was the team that beat us 3-1 in our first game. Our team went on a tear after that, winning every single game following that opening loss. We went into the final confident and riding high, but we conceded a goal in the first five minutes off of a freak penalty kick. There were many questionable calls during the game, and I was usually the one protesting to the referee. The game was extremely competitive, and the score remained 1-0 going into the final minutes. Our back line had done a great job, and as

Throughout the story Arnold's traits change, which makes him seem as though he is not who he says he is. When Arnold first arrives at Connie’s home, he acts as though they had met before. However, Connie repeatedly says, “Look, I don’t even know who you are” (654). Although Connie keeps saying this, Arnold continues to act like nothing's wrong. Later in the story he seems to break his previous character, and Connie notices. “He spoke in a simple lilting voice, exactly as if he were reciting the words to a song” (656). His mannerisms change here because he realizes Connie has figured out that something is off about him. He changes his mannerisms from being an eighteen year old friend to being an aggressive man. “She looks out to see Arnold Friend pause and then take a step toward the porch lurching. He almost fell. But, like a clever drunken man, he managed to catch his balance” (659). His illusion of being an eighteen year old drops here. Oates is able to use Arnold’s mannerisms as a symbol to contribute to the theme because he first acts one way, only to act another the next. First impressions are not always correct and they may not be as they

Weider used Schwarzenegger to make body building “sexy” (Montana 2008). To do this he had to change the image of the bodybuilder (much like Schwarzenegger is attempting to change the image of the environmentalist). The current image of the body builder was one of vanity, narcissism, all brawn and no brain. Weider used Schwarzenegger to obliterate those stereotypes. The Current impressions of the environmentalist is one of a wimpy tree hugger, Arnold would use his experience in transforming body building to obliterate those stereotypes too.

When Arnold approached each town, people would sing along to his blaring rock anthem: “we’re not going to take it anymore” (Sanchez)! The majority of Californians had already felt that Governor Gray Davis performed badly and was not able to alleviate the situation much more. As mentioned before, people had lost faith in politicians, and they want a whole different kind of governor. They prefer to hear the impossible rather than unkept promises. Arnold was able to use this to his advantage. Along with his amazing speeches through his campaign, he used “more than $10 million of his personal wealth and a relentless throw-the-bums-out battle cry to attract legions of disgruntled voters yearning for a postcard California where car taxes never triple and economic good times are as reliable as the sunshine” (Sanchez). “In the exit polls Tuesday, 61 percent of those who supported the novice Republican said they believe he can erase multibillion-dollar deficits without raising taxes, a feat that even some of his top economic advisors have questioned” (Sanchez).
