Good Things Come Back to You

At the end of the documentary, “Undefeated”, Coach Bill tells “Money” that if you keep doing good things, good things will come back to you. I believe this is very true; maybe not immediately, but eventually! I have many reasons why I think this is true. In the documentary, there is a football team called Manassas that hasn’t went to playoffs ever since the schools was founded. Except one year that all changed with the high school football team. They went to the playoffs, they didn’t win, but it was a big accomplishment.

In the documentary, there’s a football player that did so many good things, that one fantastic thing happened. Money was a senior who always did good in school. He was great at football

While Lewis is being bullied by Evan, a kid at his school, many people didn't believe that the situation was as bad as Lewis claimed. When discussing the problem in the lunchroom some of the kids agreed that Lewis is just "making the easy Indian claim" (p. 207).…

The author’s strategies are very effective as far as I can see; most all theories are backed by facts and statistics.…

    After first reading D’J Pancake’s short story, “Time and Again,” it is very easy to compare that story to an episode of Criminal Minds, called “To Hell and Back” (Lucas Turner, 2005, n.p.).

In both stories, there are men who seem to have a mental disability that causes them to do almost the exact same thing, which is feeding humans to domesticated hogs (Pancake, 2006).…

Etzioni’s purpose is to inform parents of the lack of skills developed in large fast food chains.
