statistics. In the 1998 NBA draft, there were 33 underclassmen available for the draft. Of those 33, there were nineteen juniors, five sophomores, two freshmen, and four high school students. If you think that 33 is high for the number of early entries into the draft, look at the figure for 1997, this was 40! In the 1996 draft, only two of the top fifteen picks graduated from college. Not to mention that only fifteen of the 29 that came out early in '96 were actually selected in the draft. Now, with all the
in the new world of America, our Ancestors were lined up and sold to the highest bidder for labor we have yet to be compensated for. This is where the annual NFL and NBA drafts have similarities to the Maangamizi or Middle Passage holocaust. One of the most exciting times around the year is the NFL auction, I mean, draft. Each draft is relatively the same only the slave docks, oops again; I mean training camps are now in stadiums or practice fields. This is where athletes get clocked in the 40-yard

National Basketball Association (NBA) and college basketball have lost a substantial amount of their competition and have caught much criticizim for it. At the heart of this problem is a single cause, greed. The game of basketball has become all about money instead of the game and its fans. This problem needs to be addressed, and the best place to start is with the college players, or more specifically, the NBA draft. The rules and guidelines that pertain to the draft are greatly at fault for the down

The theme that war twists morality is portrayed here. Tim felt going to war was a better option than facing the humiliation that would have come if he fled the country to avoid the draft. Society’s perception of morality has shifted due to the war, as society urges men to kill others by reprimanding those that refuse to fight. What makes this lack of morality worse is that society was urging these young men to fight for reasons almost
Changes Made to the Draft of Strange Meeting Reality in warfare and the painful truths that accompany war are skillfully presented in Wilfred Owen's war poem "Strange Meeting." Owen's poem is more powerful thanks to revisions the poet made as he struggled to understand the devastating effects of war, both emotionally and socially. "Strange Meeting" underwent changes during its composition that signify changes in Owen's understanding of warfare and human interactions. As he
America Needs The Draft A draft starts when there is a major crisis and extra troops are needed for combat. The draft only calls men to duty in a certain order in which they registered. This is called the lottery. Only when Congress passes and then the president signs legislation, the draft can begin.

The AFC East is wide open this year they said. There’s no offensive line to protect New England Patriots backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from the heavyweight defensive lines of the Dolphins and Cardinals, not to mention the Jets and Bills they added. There’s no Rob Gronkowski to be a safety target for Garoppolo to fall back on when he needs a big third down conversion. “Jimmy G, 1-3”, Patriots haters chanted as they gleefully waited for Ndamukong Suh and former Patriots defensive end Chandler
them in presenting the Pity of War? In this essay I intend to analysis how effective the redrafts of the poem 'Anthem For Doomed Youth' by comparing the first and final drafts. I will go about this task by comparing and contrasting the parts of the poem, which have been change to the ones, which appeared in the final draft.

This new way of draft, despite being time-consuming, has allow me to work through ideas first, then think about what words to use. This goes hand-in-hand with word economy, since understanding ideas first helps decide how best to present the idea. By targeting ideas, my overall analysis of rhetoric has become stronger.

The Military Draft: An Unwise Solution The United States of America's military is currently involved in two major wars with U.S. opposition in Afghanistan and Iraq. All though both of these efforts can be said to be in the clean-up stages, many more soldiers will be needed to stabilize the regions, to provide police work, and to fight the insurgencies that have risen in opposition to the invasion of U.S. troops into foreign lands. The current presidential administration states that to adequately
Tim O’Brien’s, The Things they Carried is a riveting tale of struggle and sacrifice, self indulgence and self pity, and the intrapersonal battles that reeked havoc on even the most battle tested soldiers. O’Brien is able to express these ideas through eloquent writing and descriptive language that makes the reader feel as if he were there. The struggle to avoid cowardice is a prevailing idea in all of O’Brien’s stories. In “On the Rainy River”, O’Brien writes of intrapersonal struggle in its most
