Even if he didn't win he was made to feel like a winner. "And home we bought you shoulder high" (line 4) this says they bought him home proudly but not necessarily that he won. Next something happens to the runner that makes him unable to run, perhaps old age but I think death because of the following lines: Will flock to gaze the strength less dead"(line26) I also think there were key statements throughout to somewhat changed my thought pattern.

The effect of allowing the defendant to go to court of there peers would destroy the whole system of what this country was built on. In our country's history blacks have fought to break threw racism and women, the right to vote.
