Gandhi stood up against the British Empire in a pacifist way. He did not like the way Indians were being treated by the British. Gandhi was a pacifist and more or less avoided hand to hand conflict. All of his protests were peaceful and eventually, he was able to “defeat” the British Empire. His life was filled with many struggles and he was constantly put in jail for what he believed in and most of his protest were “hunger strikes” where he starved for an extended time. During Gandhi’s time, he gained many supporters and he was known as “Mahatma” to all of them. He launched a Passive campaign and turned it into a massive organization that boycotted many British manufacturers. Gandhi gave up, imprisoned many times, and he even quit politics before he made an impact. Gandhi was shot to death on January 30, 1948.

3 childhood friends Alek Skarlatos (Former Oregon National Guardsman), Anthony Sadler(senior at California State University ), and Spencer Stone( former U.S. Air Force Airman) were on a train from France to Paris to the French capital on the Thalys train, when a man with assault rifle and pistol started shooting and wounding passengers. Out of all the survivors on the train, the 3 friends stepped up.

The 3 friends were supposed to be underdogs because It’s the 3 of them against a guy with an assault rifle and pistol, a bullet would be faster and take more damage. Despite Spencer getting several injuries including having a slashed neck and thumb you would think he would have given up and fell to the ground against the gunman but didn’t.

The 3 friends were able to win against the gunman because 2 of the 3 of them had military training. Which may have given them an advantage and if it wasn't for that many people would have died on the train that day. Alek Skarlatos, Anthony Sadler, and Spencer Stone won many awards and honors.

For example in the fight rocky looked really messed up it proves that he was not prepared physically for that task.

At the end rocky won I think it was out of pure luck but at the same time, it took a lot of strength to knock someone bigger than you down. Yes, he was an underdog but he became that because he believed that he could win despite him being new to the whole fighting a big dude type of thing.
