Week 7- Literary Death Match

Okay so this blog is a bracket between battles of historic people. It is set up like a March Madness bracket. I am going to go through each battle and tell who would win for each match. Between Christopher Columbus and Patrick Henry, I would choose Christopher Columbus to win because he wasn’t that nice of a man and he completely controlled the Native Americans. If Edgar Allan Poe and Henry David Thoreau, Poe would definitely win because he knows a lot of tactics because of all the horror stories he wrote. He is the creator of violence. In a battle between Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas, I think that Douglas would win because he was a slave and so he is a lot stronger than Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is too good of a person to fight. If Emily Grierson and Montressor were to fight I think that Montressor would win. He was very tricky and sneaky in his story. He was very smart and knew how to kill someone easily. He is also a man and is much stronger than old Emily. In the Final Four, it would be Douglas vs. Columbus, and Poe vs. Montressor. In the first battle I think that Douglas would win because once he is in more modern times than Columbus and Douglas could easily beat him up. In Poe vs. Montressor, Montressor would win because he actually murdered someone and been through it. Poe could write about it but overall I don’t think he was very strong physically. Montressor would win it all because he had murdered someone and has a lot of sneaky tricks up his sleeve and the way he was described he was pretty strong and I think that he could take all of his opponents easily.
