    Amy Chow Ms.Varone ENG3U1-03 16 Nov 2016 Close Reading: Disgrace “Lucy knows some of the women. She commences introductions. Then Petrus appears at their side. He does not play the eager host, does not offer them a drink, but does say, ‘No more dogs.

    Blaustein leaves the footage to draw conclusions and assign significance, always returning to his own question: What kind of man makes a living running another man 's head against a turnbuckle? All kinds, the film argues, although it certainly helps if we are large and enjoy yelling and dressing up in ridiculous outfits. Blaustein films the wrestlers: as men coping, or not, with life and the wrestling ring. Terry Funk prays at his daughter 's wedding and, a few scenes later, with blood…
