Topic:

Steve Bartman and the Cub Fans and the Back of the Net Film

Essay Instructions:

Only do what is in bold in one page ( see attached file) . Half a page each. And know that they are two different assignments.
ASSIGNMENT ONE
Write half a page your thoughts about the Cubs fans reaction to Steve Bartman. How do you believe the fans reacted? Would you react in a similar way if you were a Cubs fan? We can probably admit this was a low point for Cubs fans' behaviour. On the other hand, give us one example of how fans reacted in a positive way in a sports setting, how the fans made a situation better because of how they responded.

ASSIGNMENT TWO
Write a paragraph explaining your thesis and a sketch of your main points about the
Assignment below.
This term, we have explored sports “heroes” and themes from sports stories through an understanding of literature and film, while considering how these stories have been shaped by history and culture. This effort has made this an interdisciplinary class.
For this essay, you are to choose a sports film or piece of literature (poem, story, novel) and analyze it through a particular critical perspective. In other words, how can we better understand a story, if we consider the cultural or historical context of that story?
You must choose a piece that has not been analyzed a great deal in class (Dare to Dream, for instance, is not a good choice). I would hope that you would delve into an aspect of film, literature or theory that interests you the most. You could analyze Million Dollar Baby, as a way to explore gender in traditionally male roles. It is important that you develop a clear focal point, expressed in your thesis statement, and use all the aspects of good essay writing.
The essay must be 4-5 pages, typed, double spaced with sufficient secondary research. I do not require a set number of sources, but to complete a serious analysis, there is an expectation that you conduct research of sufficient reliable sources and present them in the paper. Aim for at least 5 secondary sources. All sources must be formatted in MLA style with proper citations and a Works Cited page.
Be sure to edit your essay for grammar and typos.
Overall, I am looking for an interesting and well developed analysis that demonstrates a thorough understanding of the subject (film, story, etc.) deepened by putting the story in a cultural and/or historical context.

Assignment One
The Cub fans' reactions to Steve Bartman are unacceptable. The role of fans is to motivate players during their low moments and ensure they emerge victoriously. Reacting in unsupportive manners lowers the player's morale and may lose the game. I believe the fans reacted in an impulsive manner that would have rather been avoided for the well-being of Steve Bartman. I would not have reacted the same way if I were a Cub fan. As a fan, I would have shown my support for Steve Bartman no matter the circumstance. That is the spirit of a true fan. A positive way of reacting is by cheering up the team to ensure they get the required morale. For example, fans have shown their support to Liverpool football club while playing against Barcelona football club in the Champions League return match. Liverpool ...
