suggests that Jackie Robinson not only opened the gate for others but was the first black player. Then, Jackie Robinson not only was the first black player to play in the MLB, but was one of the best. His career in baseball was stellar.

to confront the coach who was talking bad about him. But he decided not to show everyone that he was mad and went down into the tunnel and started to yell, break his bat, and cried. Another example was when he was getting thrown at while he was batting. He could have easily started to try and fight the guy, but he decided to not do it and get a base hit. This actually made his face better. That is how maintaining face is…

starting as a halfback, place kicker, punter, and defensive man for the Canton Bulldogs (4). He served as one of the League's first presidents (2).

gets three strikes to hit the ball, a strike is when you bat but miss the ball. If the pitcher throws a bad ball that you cannot hit, it’s called ball. If you get four balls then you get to walk to first without getting out or having to bat. When batting, if you hit the ball down towards third or first and it goes across the line it is called a foul ball. There isn’t a limit of foul balls but they can count as strikes but not strike you out. If you hit the ball in the air and say it stays in…

and they continued the war up until 1975. The war had a hard toll on a lot of the country’s involved and it was hard to see the point of this war. They were thinking it was a waste of time but nobody wanted to quit the war so they both just keep batting hoping somebody would give in from fatigue. They never expected the war to last for 20 years. For those against the war it seemed that we were just throwing solders to their death for no reason. For the people who are in favor of the war or even…

wasn’t any use. Nobody came.” (The Great Gatsby, pg. 142). I was actually able to recall an episode of SpongeBob called “Porous Pockets” in which SpongeBob becomes very wealthy, and suddenly gains all of these “friends”, who then leave him without batting an eye once he runs out of money. I believe that this illusion SpongeBob was under, in which he believed people loved him but they later turned out to be only interested in his money/parties, is the same one that Gatsby was under. Gatsby had…

“For the last time, go get some damn water.” That’s the first thing I hear when I wake back up. It’s Connor. I’m pretty sure his voice has been penetrating my dreams as well. It would make sense, since the last few minutes were full of water and it sounds like that’s what he’s asking for. I listen, content to hear him get testy with someone other than me for once. “Why don’t you get your own damn water?” That’s Kevin. I suppress a smile. Arguing for the sake of arguing. There’s a shuffling…
