Evel Knievel's Categorical Analysis

The Los Angeles Times published an article titled “Hollywood stuntman jumps rocket over Snake River Canyon in ode to Evel Knievel” that had originally been authored by the Associated Press. The article told of how 54-year-old Eddie Braun successfully crossed the Snake River Canyon in his custom built rocket. His purpose was to, “...prove that Knievel could have made it across the canyon if his parachute had deployed at the correct time.” (Associated Press). To make sure that this would prove that Knievel could succeed the rocket was, “...identical to the model Knievel used for his failed canyon attempt on Sept. 8, 1974.” (AP). It was ensured that the equipment was the same by using the same blueprints as used in the original attempt. Scott
