1 : the quality or state of being proud: as a : inordinate self-esteem : CONCEIT b : a reasonable or justifiable self-respect c : delight or elation arising from some act, possession, or relationship <parental pride>

3 a : ostentatious display b : highest pitch : PRIME
4 : a source of pride : the best in a group or class
5 : a company of lions
6 : a showy or impressive group <a pride of dancers>

I'm guessing Paro's piece was supposed to fall under the 3rd definition... but though I really liked his piece it would be a stretch at best to say that it was on topic... the man's action to save the girl didn't seem pride-ful at all... more of sympathy... the pride-full act quickly and his character had to find a reason to make himself intervine... if it were actually his girl and he jumped to action quickly I'd say it was out of pride... this just wreaked of symphathy...

LE's verse on the other hand was right on topic...

so I have to vote for him
