We can view victory lap as a David and Goliath story based upon Kyle's upbrining and lack of knowledge or experience when it comes to confrontation.... personal action. Kyle, like David, steps up to Alison's abductor, and like David, he also uses a rock to insure victory.

Please post your questions separately.
