Fiesta Bowl

This passage, written in Chapter 25, describes a change in environment of California, from vivid, bright, and lively to dark. However, it also includes the narrator’s criticism on the larger company landowners’ extreme greed, selfishness, and their excess desire to have what they do not necessarily need to obtain or things that the tenant or normal farmers could never own. The dark and ominous atmosphere was creeping over the lands of California, along with the farmers’ growing anger towards…

As you probably already know the Super Bowl is a massive event where two of the best football teams in the NFL take each other on head to head. This year was Super Bowl 51 and the New England Patriots took on the Atlanta Falcons. The Atlanta Falcons haven’t ever won a Super Bowl, but they were looking to do so on February 5th in front of 115.5 million people.

Super Bowl 50 was one of the greatest moment in football history. It was the Super Bowl that determined if it will be Payton Manning last game in the NFL or will it be Cam Newton first Super Bowl championship win. Both teams were doing well for the regular season but the majority of the people were going for the Panthers because of their almost undefeated season. The Super Bowl is where family members and friends get together to have a good time. The reason I chose this article because I am…

The Panthers sent a strong message with this move showing they will not be pushed around and/or mortgage the future success of the franchise for a player that doesn't seem to have the right mindset for this organization. Especially with just one Pro bowl season and by all accounts a questionable attitude. Prior to last year's breakout season Norman, if I recall correctly he was in the doghouse with Coach Rivera and he didn't play much his first couple of seasons. I understand a player wanting…

Have you ever scored a touchdown before? It all started on a Saturday in October on the thirty yard line of a football field. This is where I began to score my first touchdown. I'm going to tell you how it happened. First of all, it was a chilly Saturday morning in October. The game was held in Reform Alabama at G.S. SPRUILLS Football Field. Before I scored, I kept getting tackled. I would usually gain about four yards each time. Sometimes I would even loose yards. Then, on the next hand…
