Friday

Power of Adversity written by Drew Brees, Friday Night Lights written by Buzz Bissinger, and the last one was Through My Eyes: A Quarterback’s Journey written by Tim Tebow. I had not read the books by Drew Brees or Tim Tebow so I thought my better option was to go with Friday Night Lights because I felt like I knew more and I was inspired by it. I do plan on reading the books by Brees and Tebow which I believe are going to be very inspiring as well. I read Friday Night…

Standing underneath the Friday night lights is always nerve-wracking, but this time it was even more so than normal. It was the first time I have ever performed on the football field as a majorette; which is a very big accomplishment for me. As the drum major calls the band to attention, I pose and try to calm myself down. When the band starts playing, I start performing, but the thing is that it was nothing like doing during practice. This time I was not even thinking. Every move was strictly…

Hart’s Short Story, The Friday Everything changed, Miss Ralston teaches the students valuable lessons. Miss Ralston proved to be a true role model in many different parts of the story, the first being when she was considering Alma’s question. “After a long moment, when she finally spoke, Miss Ralston instead of saying, ‘why that’s out of the question, Alma,’ threw a bombshell of her own ‘I will think about that’ she said –as if you know, she would- ‘and I’ll let you know next Friday” (Hart 200)…

derogatory term, slasher flicks, are never taken quite seriously. There are only two reviews on Roger Ebert’s website for Friday the 13th. From a total of 12 films released in the franchise, featuring mass murdering shenanigans, he reviews two of them. He even states, at the end of his abysmal half star review of Friday the 13th Part 2 , “This review will suffice for the Friday the 13th film of your choice.” He effectively states that these films were not worth his time. Benard Dick, in his…

Any student that attends Hoover High School knows that on Friday that will see many different uniforms including: dance team, cheerleaders, color-guard, football players, and the band members. Between every class, the fight song will be played over the intercom and a certain anxiousness overcomes the student body as the hours upon game time draw near. Most Fridays, class schedules will be shortened so that there will be time for a pep rally at the end of the…

identity. One way to learn more about the people of these racial minority groups is to read works of literature. Two short stories in particular, “One Friday Morning” by Langston Hughes (an African-American) and “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan (a Chinese author), give readers more understanding of the writers’ backgrounds and childhood experiences. “One Friday Morning” tells the story of Nancy Lee, an African-American high school girl who was denied a scholarship because of her race, even though she…

Isaac Bashevis Singer is a distinguished, highly renowned Jewish writer. Singer writes about meaningful Jewish practices, such as observing the Sabbath, going to synagogue, and keeping a Jewish home. These are stories in which G-d’s presence is truly felt by the reader and there is no doubt surrounding if the characters live their own interpretation of a religious life. In three of Singer’s most prominent work’s, G-d’s name is never mentioned: an observation too compelling to be surmised as…
