Do a think write on the ending of "Top Man." What do Osborn and Nace's actions reveal about their characters? What does the fact that Osborn says "I couldn't make it . . . I didn't have what it takes" reveal about his character? What is the significance of the ax found at the top of K3? What does Ullman say through this story? Do the characters change? If so, analyze how. Use direct quotations and analyze thoughtfully.
