Arena

so superbly. Another great sound I heard was the sound of the puck hitting the top of the net and going in. When the roughriders scored, the arena went from quiet to loud in mere moments. The crowd cheered, a loud foghorn started playing, and the speakers blaired an arena rock song. Then you had when the roughriders got a bad penalty called on them, the arena erupted in boos. Overall, the noises ranged from cracking, clinging, booing, and silence, and I made some noises based on how I…

They are watching the horse and rider performing in the ring like hawks, detecting even the slightest mistakes. I stood in awe as I watched an older girl and her big bay horse tear up the ground, powering over the 3ft jumps sprawled around the arena. “Mom I’m gonna do that when I’m older!” My trainer walked over greeting us with a big smile, “Hi Mia! Are you ready for your first show? We have to check you in, put your hair up in the helmet, and get your horse ready first.” My mom went to the…

I chose to look more in depth at chapter 11, Theatrical Space and Production Design. I never really thought about the different areas in which a play could be performed and realizing that there were many different spaces and stages in which a play could be put on I was very intrigued. It was also interesting to read about how much work goes into production design. By reading this chapter I became very well informed about not only the different stages and performance areas in existence but how…

team and each team is valued differently. A team's total value comes down to four determining factors; sports, market, arena, and brand. Sports are the portion of a team's value attributable to revenue shared among all teams. Marketing comes from the team's city and the size of the market, which determines the team's revenue per fan. Arena is just the part that is available to the arena like; home game attendance, premium seating, events, and more. And the last one brand is the team's specific…

collected from the arena. This was edited so as to further reaffirm that Katniss did not rebel but acted only out of love for Peeta. Broadcasting rebellious acts on live television can be harmful for the government and weaken the oppressing system at the same time, thus editing out certain events of the Hunger Games becomes necessary. Early on in the 74th Hunger Games Katniss forms an alliance with Rue, the tribute from District 11, however, Rue is later murdered. To demonstrate that the Games…

I was ready to go next. Caramel started to trout. two changes in diangle. We turned around and went to the center of the arena we trotted at the barrel. “NAY” the horse screeched. Caramel stood up on her hind legs.I tried to hold on. The saddle slipped. It all went black. Beep beep beep I woke up. I looked around. I was in the hospital. My arms hurt so much as if someone…

Daylight seeps in through the cracks under the door, as well as the voice of my lanista calling to us to wake up. “Up, all of you, get on your armor and get outside! Tomorrow the lot of you go into the arena, and I better have impressive results for the Emperor. I have bets on this, and I better come back richer.”, says the lanista (slave owner). The lanista approaches my door and says, “You better train, Mevia, Emperor Winter wants a good spectacle from you. The crowd isn't expecting to see a…

with misconceptions of character, personage, and events, that would be grasped as truth with a closer look. The inaccuracies in the character of Commodus, the improper representation of gladiators, and the misconception of what occurred within the arena all serve to prove the movie inaccurate. Commodus is portrayed in the film as a man who cowers…
