and hurrying to score, before time runs out. Throughout “Fast Break” the poet uses hyperboles to make his poem very dramatic. For example, (L.11) “looks stunned and nailed to the floor.” This line shows that he is over exaggerating because the defenders feet weren’t actually nailed to the floor, this provokes interest in the reader. Another example would be (L. 25-26) “while the power-forward explodes past them in a fury, taking the ball into the air.” Nothing is actually exploding, there…

My career goal is to be a Probation officer working in the Juvenile Delinquent deparment were I will collaborate with the courts to found an…

A couple in Tennessee headed to a dollar general store, but they didn't have plans to buy anything, instead they were looking to make a sale. John David Cain and Deanna Lynn Greer made plans earlier in the day to meet up with a person they worked out an arrangement with to sell them an item they placed an ad for on Craigslist. The mother and father pushed their baby in a stroller with them to collect the $3000 they agreed to be paid. Cain and Greer did receive the cash when they handed over…

Initially boundaries were not defined, with walls serving as out of bounds markers in most cases (Frazier, 1998, p. 12). In 1904 the boundaries became straight lines with ball possession awarded to the first player to touch the ball after it went out of bounds (Kloppenburg, et al. 2013). Subsequently leading to pushing, shoving, elbowing, desperate dives, and total bedlam (Kloppenburg, et al. 2013). Since basketball was often played on dance floors and in social halls, wire cages had to be…

At our club team, we practice and compete against elite teams across BC weekly. Throughout my soccer playing career with Vancouver United FC, both my teammates and coaches described me as a persistent and diligent player. With tenacity, I proudly earned the “Top Midfielder” award in 2015 and 2016. With…

I remember the feeling of walking out on our soccer field in a uniform line next to my best friends. There was something about knowing that we were going to be the best team our school had ever seen was something truly special. Our school is very well known for our football, wrestling, drill team, and softball. Soccer has never really been a sport that other schools were nervous about playing us in, but we were sure that was going to change this year. Our first game of the preseason went…

Roosevelt used different economic and domestic policies during their presidency to reach a common…
