Dribbling

Basketball has always been a passion of mine and it always will be. As you can see, this is a basketball. This is your average basketball court. The goal is to get the ball in the basket.

Using imagery through his work, I get the feeling of tension and accomplishment through these stanzas. Playing basketball before, I have definitely experienced what he described in real life. There are many aspects to this…

After Ralph confronts Jack about leaving the fire they begin to cook and eat the pig. “Piggy spoke, also dribbling. Aren’t I having none? (73).” This shows that Jack had not given Piggy meat on purpose to show that he was superior to him. This is also shown when Simon gives his meat to Piggy and Jack says “Eat! Damn you! (74).” In Jack’s mind he gave Simon…

To the uninitiated, soccer formations might sound complicated. But with the help of a few practical examples, you can learn about the 4-4-2 formation right up to the more obscure ones at the other end of the scale.

drill was simple. Dribble the ball halfway to the field then pull the ball back to the other half. By the time I’d completed this Prometheus, everyone was returning from their second drill. I was humiliated. By the time I started my second drill of dribbling, everyone was finished. I felt as if I was on a theater stage and the show was Humiliation: The Musical, staring me. My audience was thirty other girls, a coach, and an assistant coach. My eyes burned with tears, blinding me. “Keep moving…
