What's the Challenge?

I'll tell you what's a challenge, comparing a non-fiction text with a fiction text. But I like challenges, at least I think I do, so why not try to compare text completely different texts. Am I right?

So the in Holes towards the end, it in a way talks about fate or good luck, maybe even a curse because of the pig stealing great-great-grandfather. It doesn't necessarily talk about the curse being true, but coincidently the "curse" broke off. "Stanley's mother insists that there never was a curse. She even doubts whether Stanley's great-great-grandfather really stole a pig. The reader might find it interesting, however, that Stanley's father invented his cure for foot odor the day after the great-great-grandson of Elya Yelnats carried the great-great-great-grandson of Madame Zeroni up the mountain." The book gives the message of curses aren't real but fate can think otherwise, the grandchildren of Madame Zeroni and Elya Yelants. Then again it could've all been a coincidence and the fact that Stanley had the will to bring himself together and devise a plan to help himself and Zero bringing him redemption could be the meaning. But let us stick with the curse and fate meaning shall we?

Chris Jericho from The Best in the World felt he had a curse too except his doesn't have an ending to it. On a return to wrestling he feels something always goes wrong, this time he didn't really see to it as a it being curse worthy. "Now those of you who have read my previous books might be think the match was Jericho Curse worthy. It wasn't a bad match, it was just kinda there." Usually he will say how his returns had something wrong happening, but he didn't see it too bad this time, just mediocre.

Both books though have a thing with curses, though I realize now why it is different. One is non-fiction and in reality, curses might not be much of a thing, just repeated coicidences. But in fiction things aren't a reality, the curse might've been real in the book letting it fade away once the promise was done when the grandson carried the other grandson. That's why their curse lasted so long because the promise was never done, but once it was completed everything went their way. So I think the difference was just the genre, unless curses are real.

A Hole Of Zero

What is up y'all, Whole Blogging Show here and unfortunately I won't be writing on my Foley is Good because of my ability of losing things. But I have moved on to something for the moment, something for the entertainment, something for the blogs, something so I don't get yelled at by my teacher. Holes.

Now I have read Holes three times and it shouldn't be a problem for me to forget everything, I mean I barely remember the page number my evidence is on. But I chose this book because I love it. This is my favorite fiction book by far, even better than Project Cain, so I chose it to get a good flow on my blogs and kind of make it more easier to blog about something. (This is not cheating, I hope)

What I want to talk about today is the character analysis of Zero. Zero is a key player in this book, especially with his introduction. He is introduced as a kid with no knowledge or though of what he is doing or why he is at the camp. At least that's what the characters say. Zero is something more than that. This is how he introduced,  "'You know why his name's Zero?' asked Mr. Pendanski. 'Because there's nothing inside his head.' He smiled and playfully shook Zero's shoulder. Zero said nothing." He's introduced as a nothing and in the situation looks like a nothing. But he is more than what he shows.

Later he exposes himself a little by asking Stanley about the shoes which Stanley "stole" which has Stanley confused as to how he knows about them and that he talks. "'Did the shoes have red X's on the back?' Zero asked. It took Stanley a moment, but then he realized zero was asking about Clyde Livingston's shoes. 'Yes they did,' he said. He wondered how Zero knew that. Brand Z was a popular brand of sneakers. Maybe Clyde Livingston made a commercial for them. Zero started at him for the moment, with the same intensity with which he had been staring at the letter." Zero reveals more about him that he is hiding, he obviously isn't living up to his name. He is showing there's a lot more in his mind rather in the beginning when he wouldn't talk to anyone not even to Stanley. But Zero has to be hiding something that associates with Stanley's shoe situation.

Make a Difference

By helping people who need help, it's casual but it makes a difference, especially when people see you do it. They we follow the example you make. For instance, helping an old lady, if she were to be in need of help and you'd help her she'd probably want to help someone because of that feeling people get. Helping one person makes the person you helped also want to help starting a chain reaction. It's like that video where this guy helped someone and the person he had helped went on to help more and more people. That's what I think would happen. You'd make a difference, they'd make a difference and it'd be a chain reaction. I honestly think everyone is capable of causing change, but sometimes you'd need a cause to make a cause.

Controversy Creates Cash

Hello guys, what is up? Today I am going to write about Controversy Creates Cash. I have written about Bischoff's weak moments of WCW but after a while it rose and revolutionized wrestling. Due to poor running of the company and loss of control losing to the executives of AOL, WCW slowly died out. Eric does though reflect on his rise and downfall on WCW and being able to Coke close to sending WWE out of business. "When you make a list of the people who have had the most positive impact on the sports entertainment business as we know it today, it's a very short list. The list of people who have actually changed the business is even shorter. Clearly at the top of that list is Vince McMahon. Inarguably, he is the individual who took professional wrestling from a regional territory business and rolled it out nationally on cable and network television and subsequently changed the business forever. Below Vince McMahon, there's probably one one person when has had anywhere near the impact on the way the business is conducted today." This shows how Bischoff helped the business, Vince brought it to people around the world. Bischoff helped the WWE in becoming sports entertainment. Bischoff is proud of what he did to help professional wrestling become what it is today. 

"I take a lot of pride in that. The things I did to make WCW competitive  changed the business fundamentally, from a creative and strategic point of view. I believe that if it weren't for that competition, WWE would have continued along the oath it had been on, The wrestling business would have gotten flat-so flat that the WWE might not have had the opportunities it's had over the past several years, including becoming a public company." Without competition and having a stale product is bad. If there was only one gas station and it costed $10 for a gallon people would go to there be slowly the revenue would die out because of a new gas station that opened with $5 for a gallon. When competitions grow it becomes a bigger decision for the consumer to decide which company to choose because by then both companies are giving their all. It becomes a soon to be bigger thing because of competition. Bischoff started the completion by creating controversy, he needed to bad mouth the competition in order to get attention and he did which started a rivalry between two companies that revolutionized wrestling. But to start a revolution you need controversy to create cash. 

Without Workers, There is No Cash

There was also another person who refused to do work and get along with the new person in charge of WCW and it was Jesse Ventura. He was a celebrity walking into WCW giving them more mainstream attention. When Bischoff started signing other people, for instance Hulk Hogan, he began getting jealous from how much attention they were getting and not him. He started to act naive and wouldn't work with anybody. "Jesse would come in to do his work and literally pout like a child. He'd have a bad attitude and mope around in the studio. He'd treat people badly, show up late, and just in general behave like a spoiled brat." Jesse gave no one respect after him having to step down from his popularity pedestals and sit there and be jealous. After a while he started to do nothing which made Bischoff angry and fire him. "This guys is running around, badmouthing Hogan, badmouthing the company, and walking around like one big dark cloud. I'm paying an entire production crew to suck air because this idiot is taking a nap in the middle of the day. It dawned me that I no longer wanted to do business with Jesse Ventura. The that all he did was moan when I woke him up confirmed it." With him disrespecting Bischoff and not even showing up can risk the company to lose its money and doing that was not right. Which is why Bischoff fired him. 

Controversy Creates Conflicts

What is up my dinguses! Whole Blogging Show here and I have started a new book called Controversy Creates Cash by Eric Bischoff, so far it has talked about his life and his job at promoting events, one of the events he promotes was falling from competition and he had been promoted to Vice President of the company to turn it around and so far it is having its rise. I have noticed though that turn around has had its conflicts and bumps. One of which was gaining trust and companionship from the other workers. Ole Anderson was a book and Bischoff had tried to work with him but couldn't due to the different views of wrestling. "When I listened to Ole talk about strategic activities and where the business should go, it was obvious he didn't understand wrestling's new direction." Bischoff couldn't work with the others because at the same time he was trying to bring his company up and make it successful, the workers with their ideas would only bring it down and with that he was hated because of his standpoints. Because of all the heat he was getting from Ole he demoted him to be a helper in the power plant. "That was pretty much the end of the road for aloe. The humiliation of being demoted from booker, and then being knocked out in front of everybody in the wrestling not school-Ole had enough embarrassment for a decade, and he moved out." Ole was tired of the way Bischoff ran things and the way he was treated so he left the company for himself which kind of hurt the company losing a good person for the company.

Blogging: My Improbable Journey to Being the Best at Blogging

There is a lot of things that can be common between wrestling, stories and journeys that Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan. But I think both have views of wrestling different, Bryan says at times if he wondered was wrestling worth it, "But I naively assumed that when I was done wrestling, I could always go home and make up for all the time I've missed with my family and friends. Now, going home isn't same, and there is nothing I can do to make for all the time I've spent always from my father." Bryan was not happy that he missed so much of his life for wrestling and it saddens him, especially since he no longer would see his father anymore. Jericho though sometimes sees wrestling worth it because it's what he dedicated his life for since he was a kid. Jericho was passionate for wrestling and though Bryan was as well passionate, he didn't get his time with his friends and family like Jericho. 

Both though have favorite moments of their career which shows even though wrestling wasn't completely worth it, they still had their highlights of their career. Jericho's favorite was his third return to WWE in the Royal Rumble 2013 because of how much his fans cheered for him to be back, "It was such a thrill to see the fans, MY fans, jump up on their feet and lose their minds when Jericho flashed across the Tron. It was the loudest ovation I ever received in my twenty-two years of wrestling and could be the favorite moment of my career...something I'll never ever forget." This shows how he really appreciated being in the WWE and being liked by the WWE. Bryan had his favorite moment because of his friends, more specifically Glenn Jacobs (Kane) who teamed up with him and they became so over (popular) that their program lasted longer than they expected. Bryan also liked the fans cheering for him and Glenn because of how amusing they were.
