Answers
Answer:
1.In My greatest Olympic prize the narrator Jesse Jones gives a first account of his experience at the Olympics in Berlin in 1936. The author uses simple and straightforward language to describe his friendship with a German athlete
2. Hitler was the Nazi ruler of Germany who held
extremist opinions on many issues of his times. He
childishly believed in the concept of Aryan superiority.
He thought that the people of Germany could outdo all
others in sports as well as other fields. Therefore
nationalistic feelings were at an all-time high during
the Berlin Olympic games which were held just before
the beginning of World War II. Jesse owens who was
an American negro felt angry when he came to know
about Hitler’ s fanatical views. He wanted to prove to
Hitler and his ”master race” who was superior and who
wasn’t. Jesse Owens’ anger affected his performance
so much that he found it difficult to qualify for the
competition.
