Lincoln is nervous about the Franklin versus Columbus game because he doesn’t know which team to have pride in. Instead he decided to play for himself than school pride. Lincoln was still nervous even though he thought he wasn’t going to play. Since Lincoln can’t choose between the two teams, he didn’t care who won because he is playing for himself. He also sees his fellow team members nervous and unsure. Lincoln liked both teams, he can’t pick over one. Lincoln keeps friends, no matter old or new friends. Lincoln later loses his nervous feeling and becomes confident after he played at the last quarter. Lincoln enters the locker room and sees everyone is nervous and unsure also. Lincoln also cares about his old Franklin team. He saw Coach Ramos with players huddled around him. He saw familiar faces of-Louie Estrada, Eddie”Big Foot” Negrete, Warren Higgins, Danny Salinas, and Tony. Tony was a second-stringer, not a starter, but he played a good game. Coach Yesutis together, Lincoln tried his best to get involved with clasped hands with Bukowski and Durkins. Their hands were moist with sweat. When Lincoln spotted Vicky his heart leaped like a fish under the Columbus sweats. It sank once he saw a dude sitting very close to her. He looked up at the score was 13-7 Franklin. He groaned and stared at the floor. When he looked up again he saw the score was 19-11 Franklin. He saw an unfair foul with Danny Salinas and Bukowski. Salinas shoved Bukowski, but Bukowski shoved back sending Salinas to the ground. A foul was called, second personal. Lincoln scanned the bleachers and spotted Monica with her father. He grinned and waved, she waved back. The father looked grim and serious, like a Mexican version of Mr. Schulman, al; about busine... ... middle of paper ... ...ln was fooled by his looks and thought he would be a jerk just like Coach Yesutis. The result was the complete opposite when Roy talked to him about the jerk Coach. In conclusion Lincoln avoided Roy at first as much as possible because he thought he would be a jerk. Slowly he ran out of excuses. Then he meets Roy and found the true Roy instead of the Roy he imagined. He also thought Roy wouldn’t care about his difficulties about school. He discovered that he dose care and he was surprised on how many times Roy had saved him from his unfair Coach, Yesutis. If I were in Lincoln’s shoes I would have make a prediction, then meet him, possibly befriend him. I would not judge people’s attitude by their looks and their favorite color. If they have god attitude then I would try to befriend them. If they have bad attitude I would stay away from them as much as possible.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky into a family of poverty. Lincoln’s father was not able to read or write while his mother on the other hand was able to do both. While young Lincoln was lent out to local neighbors to assist on their farm land and because of this he had little to no schooling. Due to being molded by lost; Lincoln had developed compassion and concern for others. This right here shows how Lincoln had empathy for others, one of the foundations an Army leaders character.
He just wanted everyone to push aside their differences, to become one again. He desired a peace without retribution. Lincoln wanted people to help the ones that lost loved ones or valuables during the war. He wants them to “care for the one” who was in the war. The one who had to take the life of another person because that was there job. To stand up to other nations you have to be one. If you are divided over every decision that is brought up then nothing will get done. Both sides of the debacle have to give a little. He knew that it would be hard to unite the country, but he had
Donald also claims that Lincoln illustrates the president’s passivity. By passivity, Donald means that Lincoln preferred to react to situations rather than to start out with a plan. He asserts that this passivity, along with...
Lincoln said to himself that he was going to play this basketball game for his own good. He was going to root for Franklin, but still make sure that Columbus doesn’t look like failures. He knew that he is meant to be from Franklin; he is meant to have to go through whatever hardships come towards him. Lincoln thinks that this is mainly because “He is brown, not white.” He knew that Franklin was going to come out with the win this time, and he was right, they won 52-46. They certainly did deserve this win, since they really fought for it this time. No matter what your team's reputation is, there is always a way to come out on
Between the period of 1820-1861 there was a number of political compromises done in order reduce the sectional tension between the North and the South. While each of the compromises created helped the issue that the country was facing at that time, they did not help overall. The compromises were only a temporary fix for the country’s problem of sectionalism. Therefore while political compromises were effective in reducing the tension between the North and the South it did not help in preventing the civil war.
Abraham Lincoln was a very brave man. After the Civil War, he made a speech in front of the White House welcoming the southern states back into the Union. He also wanted everyone to have equal rights, even though people disagreed with him. He also ran for President even though he was against slavery. Many people disagreed with Lincoln, but he still won and was elected President and served 4 terms before his death in 1865.
First, I want to talk about President Lincoln’s childhood. He was born in a log cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky, on February 12, 1809. His parents were Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and President Lincoln had two siblings, one older and one younger. He had an older sister, Sarah, who was fortunate enough to live, however he also had a younger brother, Thomas, who died as a baby. Lincoln had to really struggle for a living and learning. His family had to move out of Kentucky for social reasons. When he was only ten years old, his mother died of tremetol, a milk sickness, and he was devastated afterwards. He mourned on it for 26 years. He didn’t bond very well with his father and he despised the work that was put on him at a very early age. After his real mother, he got a step-mother named Sarah Bush Johnston. She was a widow from Kentucky. She and Abraham bonded well, and she encouraged Abraham to read even though both his parents could not read. Only when he was growing into a man did he actually receive his formal education in 18 months. There weren’t many books in the county so Abraham had to walk for miles to borrow a book which he did. He read many, many books such as Robinson Crusoe and the fami...
The first personal traits that Coach Dale was forced to exhibit were his toughness and his assertiveness. On his first night in Hickory he met the men of town in the barbershop who were all willing to provide their experience and insight on the team and how to coach. Coach Dale had enough self confidence to know that none of these “insights” were going to help the Hickory team win basketball games and let them know they weren’t welcome by turning his back and walking out. Additionally, he was forced to demonstrate his toughness twice more on the first day of practice by telling the temporary coach, “Secondly, your days of coaching are over,” and then by standing up to the group of men after he dismissed Buddy from the team. These actions made no friends of the men; however, th...

Abraham Lincoln was vital to the outcome of the Civil War. Lincoln was born in 1809. Lincoln’s whole family were opposed to slavery considering it cruel and evil. Lincoln’s mother died when he was young. Even though his family were poor, Lincoln had a strong a memorable childhood. Lincoln loved to learn and read, and soon became extremely intelligent. As he physically grew, he also grew in character and soon became a fine young man. Following a friend’s advice, Lincoln decided to run for state office.

... across the world. But to those who knew him, he was more then just a president. In addition to being a man who made revolutionary changes to our nation, he was also a devoted husband and father to his four sons. Despite his intimidating 6'4" figure, he was a kind, warm-hearted man, who actually cared about the common people. His family and friends had a substantial influence on him and they played an extremely important role in his life. They supported him in whatever he set his mind to and they kept him sane when he felt like he was about ready to breakdown during difficult times. There is more to Lincoln than most people could ever imagine, and his personal life could never be complete without his family. Lincoln had a very intimate relationship with his wife Mary Todd, and he showed endless love and affection to his children. Abraham Lincoln was a true family man.
Although it may be hard to believe, Lincoln was rejected by his own family. His father couldn't stand to look at Lincoln. He tried very hard to please his father but was not successful. His mother put him with her hairpins and sweethearts, dance slippers, and torn paper roses. She didn't think of her own child as anymore important than these insignificant objects. His parents didn't love him because of the way he looked. Holidays with his family were ruined because his family members couldn't believe that he was so ugly. They felt resentment about him.
Conservatism is an ideology consisted of ideas and beliefs that value social order and tradition. The question of whether or not conservatism is a coherent ideology is a highly debated topic. Conservatism can be seen as a disbelief to its critiques against other political ideologies such as liberalism. (Ruth, 2017) However, I believe the ideas of conservatism do make up a coherent ideology. Throughout this essay I will explain the reasons why I believe the ideas of conservatism make a legitimate ideology. The Oxford Dictionary defines an ideology as “a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.” Meaning that in order for a viewpoint to be deemed an ideology it must contain a
