    INTRODUCTION 

    In this essay and interview, the author talks about the Olympic winner of boxing, Mary Kom. The author shows through Mary Kom that it’s never too late to try something, and with hard work and dedication, one can shine in that.  

    ABOUT MARY KOM

    The author of this essay starts about by talking about a commendable woman in India. This warrior is none other than Mary Mangte Kom-the Komqueror and the Komrade. Mary Kom is famed as a five times World Boxing Champion and the only boxer to win a medal in every one of the six world championships.

    The author goes on to list her biographical details. She was born in Kangthei village, Moirang Lamkhai in Churachandpur district of rural Manipur in eastern India. She was born in a poor family of tenant farmers who worked in jhum fields. Her father was a keen wrestler in his younger age which led to her eager interest in athletics.

    Mary Kom’s career started in 2000 after her victory in the Manipur State women’s boxing championship and the regional championship in West Bengal. 

    She was only 18 years old when she made her international debut at the first AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championship in United States, winning a silver medal in the 48 kg weight category. For generations to come, Kom is recognized as an idol and a source of inspiration to all. In the 2012 Olympics, she became the first Indian woman boxer to qualify and win a bronze medal in the 51 kg flyweight category of Boxing.

    THE INTERVIEW 

    Mary Kom talked about her preparation for the Olympics and her elation at winning a medal in an Exclusive interview with Sportskeeda correspondent Taruka Srivastava. The interviewee started by asking Mary Kom how she felt after being the first Indian to win an Olympic medal for boxing. Mary Kom replied by saying that she felt happy; “I am just so exhilarated.”

    The interviewee then asked her that Mary’s coach had not been allowed at the Olympics and did that put any sort of pressure on her, to which Mary replied that did not at all and that she feel quite at ease. The interviewee then said that as she was practicing with the male boxers would she name a favorite, to which Mary Kom sportingly said that she enjoyed sparring with all of them and to name a favorite would be unfair.

    The interviewee then asked if Mary thought the dodgy judgment led to her loss in the semi finals. Mary replied “Yes, I think some of the decisionswere unfortunate and did not work to my benefit.” Mary was then asked what kind of change is required to help win medals at a fairly high populated country.

    Mary said : I think more and more people should take up sports as a full-time career if we want more gold medals. The interviewee then asked some important questions about whether boxing will soon become more than just an event in India, to which Mary replied that in the following years it would gain as much popularity as needed. The interviewee then asked Mary Kom about her diet which Mary Kom said The awareness is growing

    Now among the female athletes when it comes to nutritional requirements. Nutrition has definitely been a neglected area in Indian sports. Mary Kom had her self gained three kgs in order to compete in the 51 Kgs event. Mary Kom then said that OGQ played an important part in her success.

    They took care of everything, which helped her focus on her boxing and kept her stress-free. When asked about her future plans, Mary said that though sometimes it gets difficult to manage her twins, I love being a mom. That’s the best thing that has ever happened to me.

    CONCLUSION

The author poses Mary Kom as an inspiration to the readers and to generations to come. He hopes to inspire people that it’s never too late to chase after their dreams and that one should work hard to attend their goals.

    Poe’s writing style is gothic and his genre is horror and suspense. Poe’s writing style is characterized by the use of gothic and horror elements, and his writing is sometimes considered to be a forerunner of science fiction.
    He was the inventor of the detective-fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
    But despite this, he remains one of the most-read and most-admired authors of all time. His works are studied in schools and universities worldwide, and he is the most widely taught author in literature. He has had more than 10,000 different scholarly articles written about him, including two whole books. One such book was written by his granddaughter, Virginia Clemm, and it contains nearly 200 pages of explanation and analysis about his works. It is called Edgar Allan Poe: Master of Mystery. Here is a small sample of what she has to say about his style: “His work is replete with macabre images which give off an eerie quality and instill a sense of foreboding in his readers.”
    “Poe’s prose is terse, to the point, and very much ‘on target’… His writing style is clear, crisp, and often remarkably concise.” “He employs a highly effective use of alliteration (repetition of initial sounds within words) and assonance (repetition of similar sounds between words) that lends a haunting musicality to his writings… This technique creates a rhythm that is both soothing and mesmerizing.” Poe was among the first authors to use imagery in an almost abstract way as a way to shock and excite his readers.
    In fact, when it comes to writing, Virginia Clemm says Poe “was the undisputed master,” and she goes on to say his techniques are still very much in use today. She says: “His techniques for achieving maximum effect with minimum means have stood the test of time.” Here are six characteristics of Poe’s writing style:

    1. Poe’s horror stories have been greatly influenced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales. And while Poe’s Holmes is not as brilliant as Doyle’s, he is certainly more than just another bumbling detective. As Poe scholar Martin Peake notes, “Poe took to heart many of the insights that Conan Doyle had into human nature, and he applied them to his own fiction with great skill.”
    2. Poe was one of the first authors to use the technique of the “double-entendre” humorously and cleverly in his writings. This technique can be used in a non-humorous way when you are trying to instill a sense of foreboding and dread in your readers. Or, when you use it in a humorous way, it adds a welcome relief to the tension and uneasiness that comes from all the other stylistic elements you are using.
    3. Poe was among the first writers to employ the literary technique of “show, don’t tell.” He used this technique to maximum effect in all of his stories. It’s the style students struggle to implement when working on essays and other papers writing assignments for college. In that case, it’s better to approach an academic writing service like CustomWritings.com, where experts can help use the English language almost as virtuously as Poe.
    4. Although this may be true of all good writers, Poe did it with such bravura, his readers hardly ever even noticed the technique because they were so caught up in the excitement of the story.
    5. Poe was one of the very first authors to employ what is now called “metaphor”. In fact, he uses this powerful literary tool with amazing frequency. Metaphor can serve many purposes and often does double duty. It can be used as a figure-of-speech to illuminate an aspect of the story, or it can be used as a stylistic device to make your writing more vivid and more powerful. As Virginia Clemm says, “He uses figurative language with great skill and precision… Metaphors can serve many purposes and often does double duty… It can be used as a figure-of-speech to illuminate an aspect of the story, or it can be used as a stylistic device to make your writing more vivid and more powerful.”
    6. Poe was one of the first authors to use the literary technique of alliteration and assonance. These are sounds that are repeated in close proximity within words and between adjacent words, respectively.

    Courtly love (or fin’amor ) is a medieval European concept regarding chivalric love and literary idea that came into prominence in the 12th century, developed in the context of the Occitan troubadour tradition in southern France, and was introduced to the court of King Henry II of England by Eleanor of Aquitaine.

    A major aspect of courtly love was the knight’s devotion to his lady; the knight was expected to love and respect his lady even after she was married to another man, or if she never married. This kind of love was often tempestuous, with the focus on the lady’s feelings, and was usually unconsummated.

    The motifs of courtly love were first made popular by the troubadours of Provence and Northern France. The troubadours were poets and musicians, who used their talents to seduce noblewomen and other patrons. They were often on tour, and would therefore court their patrons, who would give them gifts and money to continue their art. Courtly Love was also the inspiration for the knightly love in medieval romance, which was about noble knights who chose to die for their loves.
