FIGHT
In my own words the thesis of this article would be " John McCain firmly believes he has a lead over Obama in the election" .As Mr. McCain spoke tonight, all that went through my head was the word "fight". The New York times says the word "fight" came up 43 times in his speech. The stories of McCain's child hood also took over a large part. The speech was interrupted several
times by protesters against war. These people were carried out of the stadium with there poster torn in half. What I see from McCain is a huge supporter of war. I don't necessarily think that a lot of people are going to agree with this man about the War. It seemed to me that all he wanted to do himself was go and fight in the war. Here is a quote from Mr. McCain. “Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight,” he said at the end of his speech. “Nothing is inevitable here. We’re Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.” I think this definitely relates to our humanities class because i know that we will be learning about current events such as war and maybe even politics.

the one thing that i noticed the most was the fact that McCain was so involved into the Iraq war, and he always seemed to be very focused on that one issue, and the fact that the word "fight" came up a lot was pretty weird. McCain seems like a very violent person.
