In the movie The Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man is a dynamic character, and goes through changes as the book progresses. First when the Tin Man is introduced, he acts as though he is worthless. For example, in the movie he claims, “My - my neck. My - my neck. Perfect? Oh - bang on my chest if you think I'm perfect.

Imagine loud cheering, deafening screams, and all of the excitement being about you. Imagine being so popular that colleges are fighting over having you play for them. Imagine being paid to play in college. Wait, that doesn’t make sense. Pro athletes get paid, not college athletes. College athletes get scholarships, not a check for their bank account. College athletes should not be paid for willingly performing their sport of choice.
