    Vladislav III, also known as Vlad the Impaler, was and still is one of the most savage, cruel people to date. He was the main inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Vlad used over forty-five methods of torture and invented fifteen. It has been estimated that he killed anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 people. I chose Vlad because I wanted someone who was brutal, shocking, and had information that wasn't hard to find. Vlad also has an interesting background in which he went from Turkish prison scum to Prince of Wallachia.…

Vlad the impaler was born while Dracula was created, both used different ways of torment on their victims, and both men had a weird taste for something unique.…

    "The Bush Undertaker" contrasts this in that there is a definite tone of mental instability. The main character is alone out in the bush when he comes across what seems to be the corpse of an old mate, "Brummy". He talks to Brummy even though it is obvious that he knows Brummy is dead. This shows that while the Bush Undertaker is aware of the absurdity of his situation, his isolation has made him more receptive to any form of companionship, even that of a corpse. He has no real goal that is mentioned…

    Many people think that the Greeks made and started wrestling but records show around 3000 B.C. the Egyptians and Babylonian started wrestling. The Egyptians and Babylonian mainly used wrestling as hand-to-hand combat in warfare or two wrestlers will compete and use submissions to bring their opponent to death.

    The American One Way Essay

    Rick Sanders was one of those athletes. A wrestler from Portland State, Sanders sported a beard, long hair, and a hand-carved wooden bead necklace. While his style was certainly not orthodox, his wrestling was a sight to see. He consistently toyed with his opponents and was always experimenting with new takedowns and throws to try out in the ring. Sanders presented a picture of arrogance and brashness, one that rubbed many sports fans the wrong way as he did not fit the clean-cut, crew-cut American One Way image. Meanwhile, his rival and friend Dan Gable presented an ideal American athlete. He wrestled in a more traditional manner that was fueled by his insane workout regimen, and his shaven face and not quite as long hair gave him much more appeal to the average American sports fan. The two wrestlers were just one of many pictures of the culture clash of the…
