Determination is when one sets a goal and does not let anything or anyone get in the way of reaching it. It is never giving up and having the killer instinct to succeed. In John Grisham’s Bleachers, the day the Messina Spartan football players set foot on the field, Coach Eddie Rake is determined to not only make them better players, but also to make them better men. He pushed them, at times too hard, but he wanted nothing but the best for them. All in all, the determination Rake surrounded his players
Much Ado About Beatrice: The True Hero of Messina In William Shakespeare's short play Much Ado About Nothing, he focuses on the social standings and the roles of women in 16th Century Europe. The female protagonist of the play, Beatrice, understands the restrictions placed upon her by society and how these restrictions should limit her as a woman, but she inexorably escapes them by refusing to succumb to the unifying hand of marriage. Throughout the play, Shakespeare displays his profound respect

Some small towns take great pride in a singular activity that the community excels in. The fictional town of Messina, featured in John Grisham’s novel Bleachers, is radical even among that group. American football is a primary focus of many of the inhabitants’ lives, dominating conversation and their free time. With conversation comes gossip and rumors, amplified by the small town atmosphere where everyone knows many details of the lives of the other citizens. This train of thought brings one to
reader focus on the plot of the book and the characters. Grisham sets the book to take place in a small, football crazed town, known as Messina. The book is set in present day time, but Grisham uses his characters to incorporate flashbacks from the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Grisham uses many characters throughout the entire book to tell the story of the Messina football coach, Eddie Rake. Even though the main character of his book is considered to be a young man named Neely Crenshaw, Rake is

simple plot; the romantic couple, Claudio and Hero, are denied marital joy by the evil Don John while the sub-plot, Beatrice’s and Benedick’s resisted but growing love, provides us with some humour until order and happiness are re-established in Messina. However, Shakespeare cleverly employs the many forms of noting (observation, misunderstanding, misreporting) to move the dramatic action forward. The main plot and the sub-plots are laced together with this device and, to emphasise the importance
Bleachers, Nat Sawyer was a Messina Spartan in high school. He was known as the worst punter in the history of Spartan football. Nat got an award named after one of his touchdowns he made; it is called Ugliest Touchdown of the Year. Nat said, “After we graduated I sort of migrated to D.C., where it didn’t take me long to figure out whom I am and what I am. I didn’t sneak out of the closet, Neely, I kicked the damned door down” (Grisham 94). When Nat moved back to Messina he knew he was going to be
thing? In John Grisham’s Bleachers, friends are family and family members are friends. That is the way of life in Messina, and no one is about to mess that up. Some may say teammates, other would say brothers. Eddie Rake's football team is united. Race, gender, sexuality, and criminal records will not get in the way of the bond that Eddie Rake has forced upon them. Former player of the Messina Spartans, Mike Hilliard, puts it best, "When you play for Rake you join an exclusive little club, and you follow
loudly at a well-dressed gentleman who committed the sin of stepping onto the sacred Bermuda grass of The Field. The gentleman backtracked quickly, then walked around the sideline, and when he drew closer Rake realized he had just cursed the Mayor of Messina” (Grisham 5). Not surprisingly, the mayor had gotten offended by being cursed out loud in front of a huge crowd for stepping on the
The town of Messina revolved their life around the football team, so they knew everything about anything that happened with the boys. Coach Eddie Rake was a thick headed individual who continuously pushed his players past their breaking point every day. Practices included the many players puking and the death of one after their daily bleacher run that the boys dreaded. Games included one breaking his hand, Rake becoming unconscious, and the team “just doing the impossible” of winning a State Championship
Pros and Cons of Gender Specific Programs According to Crowther-Dowey and Silvestri, (2016) preserving a normal penitentiary and maintaining the right to lifespan is particularly important concerning women prisoners, who are over-exemplified in the self-mutilation and self-injury data. In the middle of 1990 and 2011 there have been 139 female inmates, who have become victims of the penal system (Crowther-Dowey & Silvestri, 2016). There is a disparity of females who have perished in the penitentiaries
About Nothing "While there is much to delight a modern audience in Much Ado About Nothing, there is much that will vex, not least the problem of Hero". In the world of Messina we see women treated very differently to what we would expect of the treatment of women in the 21st century. We see women as close equals to men these days, which would have been unthinkable in the 1600's. So we have to look at whether the presentation

deception is necessary to bring them together. The friar also uses language to convince most of Messina that Hero is dead; as a result, Borrachio confesses to his role in her slander. By coming forward, he allows Leonato to reveal that she is not really dead, thus bringing together Claudio and Hero. Both Benedick and Beatrice’s relationship and the reconciliation of Claudio and Hero bring joy to Messina, particularly to the four of them. Because their love causes joy, the deceptive use of language
