Annotation
Compares the leadership and guidance demonstrated by Bugs and Sam toward the young Nick Adams. Reads their characterization as part of Hemingway’s continued effort to challenge racial stereotypes and address racial conflict through boxing and other high-tension situations. Notes how each, though differing in approach, advocates for disengagement from conflict.
