Boxers and Saints, written by Gene Luen Yang, are two companion graphic novel volumes reflecting the Boxer Rebellion. He shows people that war always has two faces. The main character Little Bao in Boxers becomes the leader of the Boxer Rebellion after his villagers were killed by authorities and the main character Four-Girl in Saints converts to Christianity where she is more accepted for who she is and adopts the saint name “Vibiana.” When reading the first book, Boxers, I hate all foreigners because they kill Chinese people. However, Yang 's two narratives complement each other as they provide me with dual views on many of the same events.
Author Norman Cousins's essay is powerful and well written undoubtingly. However I feel as though the descriptiveness in the writing shows more of a spotlight on human nature than a need for boxing to be outlawed.

A graphic descripition on the fraility of the human brain emphasized the unnecessary risks involved but with little condemnation to those who actively participate. Futhermore a description towards the end of the essay gives me the impression the author isnt fully objectified to boxing.

While some might be still ignorant about the dangers of the sport some argue it enhances the self defense techniques in the young children and teaches them discipline. However one cannot deny boxing requires a lot of exercise and training and physical fitness but it also encourages the child to be violent and resolve any problems he has with punching others and not actually fixing their issues by expressing them.

As I sit here after the end of my last wrestling season, I write this essay mostly for myself, reflecting on where my life has gone. Avon Athletics, in specific wrestling, has been there every step of the way. In packets put together by the wrestling head coach, I read about how great the sport of wrestling is from the perspective of a state qualifier. I want to share a different perspective. I want to share the perspective from a wrestler who has lost the passion for the sport he once loved; but also a wrestler who will never regret a single moment of time spent on the mat.
