Chapter 11
In this chapter, Antonio talk to Thorndike about grand sport which is the grandest in the world. He ever seen it and the image is still vivid to him. Twelve thousand people in one circling mass and those people are from all over the world. Before the game begin, it show some activitites. Then, the bull gate open and make a rush with murder in his eye, but a picador meets him with a spear-thrust in the shoulder. The picador will skip out of danger and hisses for the bull. After finishing all the sports, the bull will be killed because he is not and longer useful. This is very big game and let eneryone happy. After listening Antonio’s describing, Thorndike say he want to see the bull-fight before he die.
After I reading this chapter, I am very confused. Why the author jump to describing the bull -fight? But the only thing I can sure is the activity is very interesting and is attractive to me. I hope I have a chance to see this sport one day.
