Battle Royal

  • This story can be look at from a historical critisim. Nobody would never really understand what is going on if they didn't know what happen that caused the civil war. It would seem like a cruel and unlikely thing that would happen if people didn't know that blacks used to be slaves. You could critise this story from many of the other critisims, but I think this is the main one.
  • This story is about a men's club that find's cruel punishments for black people. They ask this boy to come in because he can recieve a scholarship to go to college by meeting with them. The boy comes, but it turns out to be a bad place. They first send out a naked woman to get them arroused. This shows that the white men are in complete control of the black men. They then blind fold the men, and say they need to fight for the scholarship. The put fake change on a shock mat, and the black men reach for it. It sends a major shock into them. It is torture. They end up fighting blind folded, and the young man wins. They allow him to read his speech, but he is chocking on his blood as he reads, and the men are not really paying attention until he said equality. This makes them stop and ask the boy some questions. He meant to say social responsibility. They end up giving him the scholarship, and he goes home to tell his grandpa. His grandpa informs him that he used to do whatever the white men said, so he was a trator.
