In response to the reading that was assigned, what I thought was very intriguing was the fact that peter wouldn’t go get an x-ray of his chest. I questioned to why he would refuse to get a simple chest x-ray. However the fact that he was able to continue running even with ought the mandatory x-ray was very interesting. Why would he be the only one who could be writing off of the x-ray? Another thing that truly stuck out was the race that he was in. The significance to him winning the race was very shocking. How could someone of the Chinese nationality win over someone who was a true native? It was very shocking at the fact that peter won. Many people might have been disappointed that the fact that a foreigner won the race over someone who has trained in china.
