During my freshman year, I participated in teaching in the cheer clinic. I was assigned certain younger kids and taught them cheers and chants for football games. By standing up in front of the little kids, I lead them through the motions and set an example of what it should look like. I showed characteristics of leadership by remaining optimistic and not getting frustrated with the younger…

the truth about the beast. Dehydrated and likely scared beyond belief, he stumbles to find the others. Unfortunately, the others take him for the beast and end his life. The boys before this were engaging in a strange dance while chanting (INSERT CHANT).

almost every verse of the poem. A few examples are “curlew calls”, “sea-sands”, “towards the town”, and “steeds in their stalls”. Longfellow also chose words like “damp”, “calls”, and “stomps”, which give the poem an euphonious and a relatively chant like feel. Symbolism is a key factor in this poem. The symbols of death create a dark and depressing mood for the poem. The form and rhyme scheme of this poem express the cycle of life and how it is reoccurring creating a dark and saddening…

through the air and disappears into the horizon. My school has a 1 million dollar soccer field called Wesson. It’s located behind the football stadium, which is located on the outskirts of campus. The soccer teams take pride in the field, as they often chant “We don’t lose on Wesson!”, even though spectators usually forgo the soccer game in favor of the football game. It has to be clear enough to see the moon and stars. I never really plan it, but sometimes my friend reminds me to look outside…

Again, not to worry even though they were friends it was it keep the crown in the right hands. “The crown is secure!”, I chant, as we strut through the corridor down the hall to the banquet room.
