That being said, every sport and every athlete undergoes intensive training before being thrown into a competitive setting; whether it be a hockey rink, soccer field or a boxing ring. Amateur and professional boxers must have both physical and mental endurance to be able to compete. They must endure a maximum of twelve rounds, three minutes each; always being on the defensive while at the same time playing an offensive game.

However, nobody can be forced to do something they do not wish to do.…

This creates a substantial problem for Richard because he does not like to fight and is extremely uncomfortable with the whole situation. By the pro boxer assuming the Richard and his family need money, it brings up the stereotype that Mexicans are poor and work meaningless jobs like gardening that don’t pay well. This is displayed when the pro says to Richard, “Mexicans don’t get too much chance to amount to much. You wanna pick prunes the rest of your life?”(168). This shows that the pro thinks that Mexicans can’t amount to anything just because they are Mexicans. The pro then announces to Richard that he is going to talk things over with his father, but then Richard shows his wit when he responds and says, “You don’t know my old man. He’s already been in jail for knifing three guys.” (169). Richard is using the stereotype that Mexicans are associated with knifes to play with the pro because he knows that he is intellectually superior to the pro. I think Richard used this discrimination towards himself and other Mexicans to prove the pro wrong by showing that he was already smarter than him by the age of thirteen. This very much portrayed that he was mature and was not going to let anyone discriminate him, his…

In auteur theory, a term originated by film critic Andrew Sarris in his essay, "Notes on the Auteur Theory"16, there is a desire to outline the personal vision of the director.

This essentially becomes a study or attempt to outline the director's desire and/or personal statement.…

“The Boxer’s Heart: How I fell in love with the Ring” by Kate Sekules emphasizes sports can be a way to fight against stereotypes female roles. The source states, “Personally, I have not finished kicking against a prescribed female role that restricts us.” She believes that there is no limit to our characteristics and stereotypes shouldn’t define us. Another piece of evidence is “This contradiction implies that qualities customarily associated with masculinity (aggression, drive, forthrightness, ebullience) are useful, whereas those generally tagged feminine (gentleness, kindness, self-deprecation, and concern with appearance) are dispensable, verging on undesirable.” In addition Kate Sekules writes, “Show me a female boxer who wasn’t a tomboy…
