Red Sox in 2013

Red Sox in 2013

Summary: My paper uses firsthand accounts of personal experiences during the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, combined with speeches and newspaper articles, to describe the effect of the Boston Red Sox on the city of Boston throughout the 2013 MLB season, as Boston tries to recover from the tragic events that marred the Boston Marathon. The paper will go into detail on how the Red Sox became a symbol of strength and unity, a pillar on which the people of Boston and fans of Red Sox Nation all around the world rallied upon to recuperate as the Red Sox chased the World Series title, and how that social cohesion allowed Boston to come back even stronger than before the Marathon bombing.
