Randy Savage

these people might have used that product but they are using a performance enhancer too. Take the action figure GI Joe. When the action figure first came out his arms were 12 inches and his body looked like a normal man. Ten year later a new GI Joe was made that had a six pack, chest, and 14 inch arms. Then another ten years later; the GI Joe now is ripped, has a full six pack of abs, chiseled chest, serratics muscle showing, and has 16 inch arms. (Pope 2008, 1:15.47). Just years later; they made a GI Joe that looks like the hulk, big arms, big chest, and six pack of abs. Television has a big effect on men and body issues. We grew up watching wrestling, WWF. We had our favorites; The Rock, Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and Macho Man Randy Savage. They were ripped and powerful. Take Hulk Hogan, the man with the twenty-four inch arms. He was big into fitness; he’d go down to Gold’s gym and “hang and bang”. He would always say “train, eat your vegetables, take your vitamins, pray, be true to yourself and be a true American” (Hulgan, 2008, 4:28). These wrestles were ripped; they had a big chest, shoulders, arms, back, legs and six pack abs. They were our idols, we wanted to be ripped and powerful just like them. The sad thing is that they were on steroids. There is also influences in movies, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. You might know them from Rocky, Rambo, Conan, Casa Blanca, and Over the Top. They were ripped, they had single percent body fat, abs,…

The symbol of the fire, used as a rescuing signal, represents a way to express the boys’ insensibility by deforesting the island that foreshadowed their corruption. As they set up the fire, they accidentally let the fire spread wildly out of excitement. “The heart of the flame leapt nimbly across the gap between the trees and then went swinging and flaring along the whole row of them. Beneath the capering boys a quarter of a mile square of forest was savage with smoke and flame.[...] ‘You got…

Human Nature is Brutal In William Golding’s Lord of Flies, a group of British boys was on an isolated island, and after a few days with quarrels and fights between the boys, most of them finally survive. Although the novel seems like a cruel fiction story, the plot and the children shows some similarities with the thoughts of the Enlightment philosophers. In my opinion, the system of authority and reaction of children in Lord of Flies shares a lot similarities and differences with the thought of…

Catch things… until they fetch us.” (Golding 30) That is why the boys went from Ralph’s society, because they needed to…
