The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Men of Iron by Howard Pyle: Myles, hot for the fight, broke away from his friend without

As the two advanced steadily towards one another a breathless
silence fell upon the dormitory in sharp contrast to the uproar
and confusion that had filled it a moment before. The lads,
standing some upon benches, some upon beds, all watched with
breathless interest the meeting of the two champions.
As they approached one another they stopped and stood for a
moment a little apart, glaring the one upon the other. They
seemed ill enough matched; Blunt was fully half a head taller
than Myles, and was thick-set and close-knit in young manhood.
