Playing Time The emotion is intense. Everyone in the gym is on the edge of his or her seat. Time is expiring as the final shot for the win sails through air. The buzzer sounds… Athletics are a critical element of high school lives--whether it be playing for or supporting one’s team. In order to accomplish success in a season, these supporting individuals are forced to rely on a select few of premier athletes. From day one of tryouts, these athletes are crafted and molded based on their hard work

that I agreed, disagreed, and in some instances, just appalled with. The beginning of her article, Swadener makes the following statement that struck out at me, “…there is an emerging ideology of risk, which has embedded in it interpretations of children’s deficiencies or likelihood of failure due to environmental, as well as individual, variables”. This statement hit me hard because I never thought of ‘at risk’ students as having “deficiencies” or being destined to fail due to variables beyond their
The Characters of Mrs Kay and Mr Briggs in Willy Russell's Our Day Out On 28th December 1977, a play was televised on T.V for the first time. The play, called "Our Day Out", written by Willy Russell, was about a progress class going on a day out to Conwy Castle, in Wales. It focuses on two main characters, Mrs Kay and Mr Briggs, both teachers in an inner-city Liverpool school. Both of these characters are very different in image, behaviour and attitude to teaching. Mrs Kay is a teacher
In the past 60 years there have been a significant amount of changes that have occurred within the American families. Throughout the years times have changed in both the workforce, and simply in the home. The ways things are done in the home have drastically changed from how they used to be. During the video clip Changes in the American Family Since 1970 we were learning about the changes that had occurred in American families since 1970, which have, even since then, changed in other ways.

particularly evident in the zoo scene. The first device Willy Russell uses is in the stage directions at the start. ‘They point and shriek with horrified delight at the sexual organs of monkeys’. Russell uses this as a device to show the children’s immaturity, the aiming to emphasize the fact that the children have never never been exposed to this experience before as they have never been outside the inner cities and this is shown in their reaction. His choice of language ‘horrified delight’
“If we are thinking about effect of education – or the lack of it – on our nature, there is another comparison we can make”(The Allegory of the Cave by Plato 1). Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece; he was fighting for freedom and education. Malcolm X was an African-American Muslim who was fighting for human rights. They both had a vision of freedom and education. We have two stories; one is “The Allegory of the Cave” and “Learning to Read”. Education is a very useful thing that can open
Basketball is supposed to be a team sport. A team can constant of ten or twelve players but only five can compete at a team. Five players on the court working together to win. Teammates are supposed to have their teammates back. Fight to the very end for their team to get a win. This is not always true. Players have their own way of doing things. They think a team should be like this or that, but they are players who do the right things for the team. I have experienced this from my team. My teammates

One theme present in Alice Walker’s short story “Everyday Use,” is the importance of remaining strong no matter what life throws at you. Being strong in the rough times of life is a hard thing that we all need to do in our own lives. The character Mama in Alice Walker’s short story “Everyday Use,” is strong in many ways. Mama is physically, emotionally, and spiritual strong. The first way in which Mama illustrates her strength is physically. Mama demonstrates her physical strength in many ways. One
Alice was a broken woman by the time she committed suicide. Over the course of her life, she had freedom after freedom, hope after hope, ripped away from her, culminating with Rufus taking away her last remaining reason to stay. She was born free but was enslaved when she fled to be with her slave lover against the slave owner’s wishes. Forced into slavery, she was immediately pressed into sexual bondage to Rufus, her master. When Dana encounters Alice during The Storm, Alice only has two reasons
Special Place Land Revisited One of the main features in Mazeppa, is the Zumbro River that cuts through the town. The Zumbro River is spring fed, and is mainly mature with a few spots where it may become youthful. Another feature that Mazeppa has is the rock bluffs around the area. The bluffs are mainly made of sandstone and limestone. These rocks were formed on and near the shore of the beach in Hollandale Embayment. This means that this area was once either on a coastal shore or near a shore.

Within my given task the maximum time on the music video was 3 minutes long. My music video was around 3 minutes therefore it was within the
There are many heated debates raging in modern day America, but what is perhaps the most underrated of these debates is the topic of participation awards. Not only these awards, but more so what they represent in handouts, for lack of a better term, is what makes this such a pertinent topic.

The overuse of participation awards amongst todays youth sports are in fact detrimental to their competitive spirit
