Literary Terms Story:
Super Bowl XLIII
It was February 1, 2009 and the biggest day in the year for some. It was Super Bowl XLIII (43). Featuring a matchup of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals, this was the first Super Bowl that I was going to watch. The game was one of the most talked about game but for different reasons than other Super Bowls. It was talked about for the major differences between the quarterbacks, how Arizona has always won when being the underdog in the games they played and how Pittsburgh could become the first franchise to earn its sixth Super Bowl.
Football games always started and ended with the quarterback being in charge. In this matchup, the quarter backs were Kurt Warner for Arizona and Ben Roethlisberger for Pittsburgh. They had two very different styles of play. Warner was the calmer, finesse type quarterback making everything look good. On the other side, Roethlisberger was the type that will do anything to win. He will rush the ball himself, tackle if he needed to and just fight though the whole game to give his team the chance to win. If they were compared, they were like night and day, happy and sad. (Contrast) This kind of game that featured two quarterbacks with two different styles made the game so much better.
The field looked as if it was new grass, the fans screaming their lungs out (Hyperbole), and at 6:28 p.m., the long awaited game finally started. About one billion people worldwide were to see this game. The first quarter was not very exciting. The only score in the quarter was a field-goal with 9:50 remaining in the quarter, Jeff Reed completed an eighteen yard field goal to put the Steelers up 3.
The second quarter was much more exciting. The quarter featured a total of three touchdowns. With 14:09 remaining in the half, Gary Russel of the Steelers capped a 11 play, 69 yard...
