Announcer

Since everyone is the same though, no one can be better at something than anyone else. The announcer can’t speak correctly because of the speech impediment handicap he had to get. The ballerinas struggle to move with their mediocre dance because they have to wear bags full of lead balls. Even the main character say “They weren't really that good”…

As Tygiel talks about the first ever radio broadcast baseball game that took place in 1922 by the announcer Grantland Rice as a voice that was “a little flat, atonal, somewhat awkwardly modulated and unmistakably southern” (Tygiel 68) giving us a description of how they announced because no one truly knew how to announce the games. If you compare what Tygiel says about back then to how announcers talk it is a complete 360 degrees as they speak enthusiastically and never leave a dull moment in…

As each grade went to their homeroom class to vote for their nominees for Homecoming Court, Lindsay felt a little disappointed. She heard people telling everyone else who to vote for, yet she did not hear her name. All of her life, she dreamed of becoming Homecoming Queen, but how could she if she was not even royalty? Everyone voted, yet she still did not put her own name down because she felt as if she should not vote for herself for anything. Lindsay did not want to hear the results of who…

When we got to the lake, I had to go under the pavilion so I could get a number. I told them my age, and I waited for everyone to do the same.

My heart is pumping a hundred miles per minute; I jump up like a frog to get some blood flowing to my legs, then it’s time to begin. “On your mark,” I prepare my mind for the pressure I'm about to endure; “set,” the signal to move one leg in front of the other; “Go!” My legs are going faster than I can even think to tell them to go. I begin sprinting to the first hurdle that signifies who is running the fastest; I’m shaking; my heart is pounding out of my chest; I feel the sweat dripping down my…

The announcer came on over the microphone and said he was going to play a video. The person hyping up the fans for the game was a Wizards legend, Phil Chenier. He was telling us to get ready for this game. This made me realize again, they do it for us, the fans. After that, the Washington starters were announced with lights and music. One by one, first Marcin Gortat, then Markieff Morris, then Otto Porter, and second to last, Bradley Beal. Last was John Wall. The announcer announced it…
