I found this reading in the biography of Rory McIlroy very interesting, as it connected to issues discussed in our European History classes early in high school. McIlroy, being a Northern Irish and Catholic man, faced religious conflict when the Catholic and Protestant denominations of the Christian religion divided Ireland. McIlroy even needed to swallow the death of his great-uncle Joe who was killed by a UVF hit squad upon moving to a Protestant region of the country. Through this information regarding the harsh conditions Rory grew up around, the purpose of the author is clear: to show the development of McIlory's golf skills and personality to seen as readers as a miracle. B making each of Rory's accomplishments the result of a miraculous beginning in Ireland, the achievements he has conquered and will continue to conquer in the future are enlarged significantly in the scheme of the world of golf. Author Frank Worrall also uses many quotes from other golfers, both retired and playing currently, to prove the great effect McIlroy has had on the game in just the start of his career. This strategy also seems to be used by Worrall to put the progress of the Irish prodigy's career under the microscope and increase the level of respect the audience of readers learn to show for Rory McIlroy.
