Tom Brown at Oxford

He describes the three characteristics of a muscular Christian similar to Tom Brown as thus; his views on religion show his goal to be achieving moral perfection, sport as being a major part of the developing of morals and the learning of disciplines, and because of a neutral to disapproving view on society, he may seek to use sports to improve society over time through example. In stark contrast, Studd 's view of the muscular Christian could be conceived as the literal opposite. Studd 's muscular Christians goal in life is not achieving moral perfection, but glorifying God and spreading the gospel. Sports are not seen as a thing with inherit value, but merely a tool to distract the populace to convert them, shown when Billy Graham said on Youth for Christ, "We used every modern means to catch the attention of the unconverted, and then we punched them right between the eyes with the Gospel"(Mathisen, 242). Lastly, Studd 's muscular Christian is patriotic themed, with a true muscular Christian being the best and brightest of a country, and seeking to spread the glory of their home…

so beautiful, he wondered if anyone else would ever compare. “Are you okay?” Penhall asked, his brows knitting in concern. “You look kinda flushed.” Booker remained silent, his eyes fixed on the vision walking toward him. Confused by the dark-haired officer’s odd behavior, Penhall followed his gaze. It didn’t take long for him to spy Tom, and his eyebrows raised in surprise before his face split into a teasing grin. “Hey, man, do you have a thing for Hanson?” Shocked back to reality by the…

life and wrote the words, then cleverly manufactured the blustery, tough-skinned Mark Twain to do the dirty work of the saying of words and ideas out on his behalf (Kirk 1). Clemens’s work is receiving a level of attention and analysis that his pride in his honorary doctorate degree from Oxford University indicates might have equally pleased and amazed him (Kirk 2). Clemens used Mark Twain to represent the man and his works around the world. Clemens never published a book only under his own…

The Negro, in the mainstream view, was constructed as a base and somewhat stupid character, with a lot of physical presence and aptitudes but lacking in intellect. If we take into account the Blackface Minstrelsy Shows, for instance, then the theory of Brown gains some force.
