I take a deep breath as I step on to the crowded soccer field, my body shivering in the cold night air. Clusters of parents and referees surround the perimeter of the field, there chatter fast and tense. Everyone is looking forward to seeing who will win the tough soccer match that should take place in a matter of minutes. I shake my head in disbelief, wondering how this game will play out. Could the underdogs possibly win? Yes they can. They have to, or else the other team will rub it in their faces-
The Woman With No Name in Monte Hellman's The Shooting Works Cited Missing Generally forgotten by critics, and classified as alternately a cult classic and a B-movie (in reference to both its budget and its reception), Monte Hellman's The Shooting is a film worth revisiting. At a remote camp in the middle of the desert, a Woman With No Name arrives to hire two men to lead her to the town of Kingsley, days after one of the camp members was shot dead and another ran away. On their descent into

points first discovered in the 1930s near Clovis, N.M. The Chilean site, known as Monte Verde, is on the sandy banks of a creek in wooded hills near the Pacific Ocean. Even former skeptics have joined in agreeing that its antiquity is now firmly established and that the bone and stone tools and other materials found there definitely mark the presence of a hunting-and-gathering people. The new consensus regarding Monte Verde, described in interviews last week and formally announced Monday, thus represents
The Count of Monte Christo I want to introduce you to, “The Count of Monte Christo,” by Alexandre Dumas. It is a story that starts as a love story that turns to betrayal and revenge. The Count of Monte Christo is set in France about 1804 in a large city. There was confusion to who led France, King Louis or Napoleon. France was divided by the two ruling parties. The main character is Edmond Dantes. He did many things in this story. He was a sailor, a lover, a friend, a captain, and a prisoner
The Count of Monte Cristo The Count of Monte Cristo is an interesting tale about a sailor named Dantes who changes his whole persona in order to get back at his enemies. Dantes becomes a number of different people in order to carry out his plans. The changes Dantes went through made his different stages as a sailor and later as a mastermind of vengeance seem like day and night. Although Dantes seems very naïve at the beginning of the story, he becomes very sharp during his stay in jail. By the
Identity in The Count of Monte Cristo An identity is more than just a name. Sometimes an identity is the first thing and possible the only thing a person notices about one or the other. A person's identity can represent their culture, their race and sometimes, even possible their family background. My identity is what represents me. For those who does not know me personally but knows my name, knows my identity. This identity is what people will recognize me as for now and possible for ever. When
The Count of Monte Cristo Journal In the beginning of the book The Count of Monte Cristo we meet Edmond Dantès; he comes across as a model of honesty, ability, and innocence. “He was a fine tall, slim young fellow, with black eyes, and hair as dark as a ravens wing; and his whole appearance bespoke that calmness and resolution peculiar to men accustomed from their cradle to contend with danger (pg 4).” Regardless of his youth, he is a useful leader to his sailors. He was also very devoted to
When Jesus walked the earth his twelve disciples put aside all of their worldly possessions and worldly pursuits to fully and faithfully follow him. After the fall of Rome, Europe slipped into what has been referred to as the “dark ages.” However, even in these dark ages men and women put aside their secular desires and devoted themselves to a life of celibacy and simplicity. This similar desire between many people drew them together and this pursuit became know as monasticism. No one had a bigger
Boniface Wimmer is regarded as one of the greatest missionaries of the nineteenth century. His mission was to establish a Benedictine monastery abroad in the United States to help the thousands of Catholic Germans who fled from their homeland in search of a better life. “Today, there are over thirty Abbeys and monasteries that take their root from Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B.” With the grace of God, Boniface Wimmer succeeded. He was considered to be a “man on a mission.” His tenacious attitude
When reading two reviews for John Green’s latest release, Turtle’s All the Way Down, I was met with two reviews from magazines that varied in tone, content, and usefulness/audience. The first article is from USA Today, which I found on Opposing Viewpoints, is more of an general overview of the book and its characters. The second is from the New York Times, which I found via Google, had a much darker take on the novel. In the article from the New York Times, it has a more negative tone as it details
Identity Changes in The Count of Monte Cristo The Count of Monte Cristo is a very sourceful book with characters creating different and new identities. Fernand changes to Count de Morcerf during the time of Dantes' imprisonment, Mercedes changes to Countess de Morcerf after her marriage to Fernand, Cadderouse changes to M. Pilletin, Benedetto changes to Andrea Cavalcanti to disguise and murders Cadderouse, and last but certaintly not least Edmund Dantes with the various identity changes. Even though
Vengeance in The Count of Monte Cristo The corpse of Madame de Villefort lay stretched across the doorway leading to the room in which Edward's lifeless body resided. Eyes filled with tears, the miserable M. de Villefort revealed the sorrowful scene to Dantes. After beholding the results of his revenge "Monte Cristo became pale at this horrible sight; he felt he had passed beyond the bounds of vengeance, and that he could no longer say 'God is for and with me.'" Set in France during the turmoil
Edmond Dantes: Reborn as the Count of Monte Cristo Everyday people seem change themselves in one way or another, but sometimes people change their appearance and personality to the point where those who were close to them, can not even recognize them in a crowd. The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas, is a story of a sailor, Edmond Dantes, who was betrayed during his prime time of his life by the jealousy of his friends. Dantes is sent to prison where he spends countless years planning
There are many different reactions to St. Benedict’s response and advice concerning laughter, how laughter is a bad trait, and how it may also at times be a good trait. Many do not agree with what St. Benedict has to say about laughter, simply in my opinion it is because they do not understand fully what he is discussing and his stance on the matter. 1“Let us follow the Prophet's counsel: I said, I have resolved to keep watch over my ways that I may never sin with my tongue. I was silent and was
Last year my parents had been planning a trip to Europe. We left Melbourne and our journey took us to Doha, Qatar, from there we arrived in Rome and made our way to my Mums town. We then went to my Dads town and then to Sorrento. We went back to my Mums town to have my confirmation and to continue we went to Nice, France. From Nice was Paris, we took a train trip to Germany and then to Austria. We continued our way back to Italy staying in Venice, Florence and then to our last place…Rome. Firstly
Denis Mahmic 4/8/14 Humanities Paper II Topic: Reflection on Benedictine Stability Stability: the quality or state of being stable. Many people have their own definition of what being stable means. Some people might think that being stable is to have enough money to support their family. Another might think that being stable is to live in one place for the rest of their life. Saint Benedict has his own thinking of what stability means in a monastery. Throughout my lifetime I have observed how stability
