Logan Tolman Jack Tran Period 5
ReplyDelete1. The author didn't want to reveal who won because: Antonio, and Felix didn't care who won, they just gave it there all, and left still like brothers.
2.Maybe because in the story they mentioned that it was a championship match. So that also explains why the Puerto Ricans were in New York City.
3.The mood of the story was pretty intense, and fierce, and a little bit of happiness. Well first of all the author was describing how they were fighting, and how they left the tournament like best friends.
4. Well the beginning was enthusiastic because it was a normal fight, but later on it was getting to intense that he described they were gonna fight to the death.
Dude, your answers were totally boss!
