The fight ends and the Swede rains as victorious. The second conflict starts when the gambler kills the Swede in the bar. Earlier in the story, the Swede had been acting very strangely after drinking from what Scully had given; he had been totally a different person.

The man in the arena was about 6ft 1in and looked about 200 pounds, he was looking in the crowd for his opponent, not on top of the building next door.

There’s a small burst of static and then nothing more. I stare at Peeta as I process what they have just told us. I’m furious, even more angry with the Capitol then I have already been. I take a second to think about it but it makes me nervous, frustrated and enraged. Peeta and I both know what this means and we need to make a decision fast before the Gamemakers decide it’s boring the onlookers make a verdict on how to liven us up once again for a more interesting and amusing attack. As for all, these games are only for the amusement of the Capitol and those in the 12 districts that are into it. To Peeta and I, the realisation and understanding that we are the only ones still in the arena hits us, therefore one of us has to be the victor and by ‘us’ I mean Peeta or me.

He focuses not on the match, but on the industry-putting people who are able to kill in a ring for profit. Cousins is extremely condemning of the sport, not blaming Paret’s manager or even Emile Griffiths, the man who delivered the blows that eventually led to Paret’s death. Instead, Cousins approaches it factually, stating matter-of-factly, “Benny Paret was killed because the human fist delivers enough impact, when directed against the head, to produce a massive hemorrhage in the brain” (Cousins). Cousins is completely against this sort of fighting, and declares that it is a legitimate killer. He furthers his point by addressing the fact that, “You put killers in the ring and the people filled your arena. You hire boxing artists… and you wind up counting your empty seats” (Cousins). In that passage, the juxtaposition and antithesis of killers versus “boxing artists” makes the significance of the business aspect clear, and in turn showing how higher value is placed in money and a good show over a person’s life. Furthermore, Cousins presents his arguments with superb diction, using phrases like, “prevailing mores” to appeal to a higher educated audience. His audience is not anyone who wants to know about the fight, but rather those who share in his opinions and believe there is a fault in

Thump. Thump. The beating of my heart increased. Thump, thump thump. What was I feeling? Why am I under so much pressure? These were all questions that I had asked myself prior to my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu match. All of my hard work, an entire year of consistent training, led up to this moment – the second I would have to step on to the match and prove myself.

I was given the name Chase Andrew Miner. My mom had liked the name Chase and Chance, but she finally decided on Chase. While that decision wasn’t too hard for her to make, (at least she said it wasn’t) my last name, Miner, was an even easier decision. My mom was married to my dad and she took his last name, so the obvious last name would be Miner. My mom told me she had a really difficult time figuring out a middle name for me. She couldn’t find a name that fit in well. One day my aunt, Lori, called my mom and asked about the name Andrew. My mom had thought about it and she decided that that name fit. So from that day I was Chase Andrew Miner. The joke my mom says now is if she knew she’d have to chase me so much, she would have named me Slow. But word got around of what

That wasn’t his actual name of course I had no idea how to pronounce his actual birth name, but I recall his name sounded similar enough to Conroy so that’s what I called him. At first it was shock when he laughed at me, then he even began to speak to me a few days later. At first he spoke very little, as he was still very aware of cat o’ nines in my hand, but gradually we got to know each other. I remember when the other supervisors weren’t around he would tell me the stories of where he came from and his family. He was a good man and it made me fill with sorrow hearing all the stories of his aspirations that he would never achieve. It hurt ten times worse than any cat o’ nines to know that me, and my Pa were to blame for this man’s misery.

My name is Kronos, or should I say Panthera Tigris Sumatrae. I was named after the Greek titan, Kronos, because I was a ferocious and aggressive little cub when those despicable humans captured me and brought me in. My mother was killed because "they" wanted her skin, and my father was killed for his sharp teeth. I had a brother as well, he was taken with me. He's called Oceanos, because he loves to swim, and he was my brother after all (In Greek mythology, Oceanos was Kronos' brother). We both held on together, and survived long enough to break free from captivity…
