The writer writes in a very bipartisan and not biased on either side of the political spectrum. She talks about how the debaters were, “engaged in a spirited but respectful debate and managed not to talk over each other, a feat that's become all but unheard of on cable news the last few years.” (Deerwester, After That 'Daily Show' Interview) showing that she got taken aback by how the debate went and how calm both sides were to talking even if Tomi could have been aggressive due to being in a place that finds her views bothersome and frightful.

Bissinger describes how the Panthers have beaten the Bronchos twenty three years in a row. Then Bissinger makes a flashback to 1946, “If you wanted to see real football mania, if you wanted to see a group of people who cared about a team and loved them as if they were their own children, go back to 1946 season when almost half the town was crammed together on the wooden benches of old Fly Field like pencil points.”(157) Bissinger shows that Odessa used to have as much pride as Permian now has. “Go back to the days when people camped out overnight for the tickets with huge smiles on their faces, as if they were performing an important service for their country.”(158) Bissinger then goes on to explain how football started changing in Odessa when in 1959 Permian High School opened.…

    Who would have ever thought walking across a wire a certain distance from one point to the next would be considered illegal? Or psychotic? Most people tend to think it is a daring activity that is suspenseful and entertaining to watch, but the police think different. Police consider it trespassing and disorderly conduct and possibly an act of someone who is insane, at least that was the case for Philippe Petit in the 1974.

    How can some people live in endless misery and not have any hope for the future and the good things to come? In America, Claud McKay describes America as a woman who is treacherous and someone who continually puts him down. America does many terrible things to the narrator, but he still loves her and the goodness she can bring. America is his home no matter what she does. By showing how the narrator perseveres through all the awful things that America throws at him, I can infer that the message the narrator is trying to put out is that if we fight for the good things in life, we can achieve anything. America is personified as someone who treats the narrator as if he is nothing, expendable, and only worth the punishment she gives him. She makes everything harder for the narrator and constantly gives him reasons to give up, but he still fights on and keeps hoping to receive the reward of the American Dream. If no one ever looked on the bright side of things and persevered through the bad, no one would ever achieve the American Dream. Because the narrator is still persistent, and keeps hoping, he will soon be rewarded with the beautiful things about America and not…
