My dad showed me this speech when I was young and it is what made me get into baseball. This speech inspired my whole childhood. Lou's words made me want what he had. This is why I played some many years and put a lot of my life into playing baseball. I know others have been in the same spot I have. Everyone who plays baseball looks to get to what Lou described in his speech. Everyone wants their rival team to send them a parting gift because they have so much respect for you. These words carried with me my whole sport career and shaped how I wanted other people to view me. This will be a speech that I show my children, hoping they get the same message out of it that I did.

On May 2nd, 1939, he removed himself from the starting lineup, breaking his streak of 2,130 games played.

  • A Celebration of Grandfathers, by Rudolfo A. Anaya

    944 Words  | 2 Pages

    The author's tone in the sentence sounds friendly and loving towards the ancianos. "These ancianos from the cultures of the Rio Grande, living side by side, sharing, growing together, they knew the rhythms and cycles of time, from the preparation of the earth in the spring to the digging of the acequias that brought the water to the dance of the harvest in the fall." The author says that the ancianos live together, which means that they treat themselves in a good manner, so they are friendly to each other. Also, it sounds like the narrator is part of their family since he knows a lot of what his ancianos are doing because he knows exactly when his ancianos start preparing for the fall. This paragraph clearly responds the question.

I will simply go home to my hard-working, high-spirited mother to send her off on her well deserved dream trip to the Caribbean islands. When I get home to her, she will be filled with over exaggerated tears along with her usual humble denies of gifts. We will argue for a few minutes only for her to finally take the ticket from my hand as my gratitude for everything she has already put up with, given me, and taught me in my short seventeen years of life.

    Oh Bryce oh Bryce. The things we’ve been through. The pictures of you holding me as a baby, from wearing costumes 24/7, to taking a picture every first day of school for mom, to living in two different homes, then having another little brother, then moving 6 more times before Mom and Tony found a real place the can call home, to jamming out in your car, to me sitting here writing this letter for you because you’re graduating. We’ve definitely had our down times, like when I threw your DS at you cause I was mad, or when you slapped me across the face cause I gave you an attitude and I ran into the woods crying. But we’ve had the ability to grow a lot closer than we were 3 years ago. We’ve matured enough to realize our differences and
