An event that took place in my life that changed my life was my game winning catch in a game of frisbee. We were playing a ten on ten game of frisbee and we were down about eight points and we came back and I got the game winning score. Last year, me and a bunch of my friends were walking down to the turf after school to play some frisbee. While we were walking down we were discussing who was going to be on which team. When we got to the turf we lined up and counted off to decide who was on which team. I was placed on a team with a bunch of kids that were new to the game and didn’t really know how to play. The other team was filled with a bunch of kids that have been playing for a while and knew how to play. I tried to ask the other team…
The Hunger Games What does it mean to be a hero in an exciting fantasy Adventure? The most important question who wouldn’t want to be the hero of any story? And that’s what happens with Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games. She’s a girl that was in a situation where she didn’t want to be the hero and was forced or I should say chose to force her self to be the hero. This is a story of a higher power force to destroy civilians and make them live under fear and turn them into weak creatures. The…
My senior year in high school I played in one of the most important basketball games of my life. The south state championship game between Wayne County and West Jones was the biggest rivalry game ever. There were so many feelings of emotions running through my veins. Nervousness, fear, and relief were just some of the many feelings that I felt throughout the entire game. As many people know Wayne County and West Jones playing each other in any sport has always been one to remember, and as…
all kinds of people who play Scrabble competitively, even children. COOPER 2 COOPER: (0:57) A very good game would be like a 400. Braggable is maybe 500.

The game “Hero” is a strategy board game that uses a turn based pattern to create a dynamic game board. The thing that intrigued me the most about Hero is the sheer amount of possible strategies one can do in order to win. Players are given the choice to play in various board configurations (10x10, 15x15, and 20x20). The amount of moves exponentially increases as the board increases in size, which can cause a great deal of movement variations for each game piece. Now onto the gameplay itself.…
This activity is one of the traditional games the Iroquois would play. The snow snake game was played in the winter, in an area with enough space, after the hunting men came back. The game would be a large celebration that the women and kids would get into as well. It could be comparable to football and baseball games because all the families and friends would come to cheer on their favorite player. Each player carved a piece of wood into a spear shape with a curved end. Then, the player would…

In the Hunger Games, desensitization is a key component in the Capitol’s ignorance and arrogance. Not only do the Capitol citizens find the violent nature of the Games completely normal, but it is also a great source of entertainment for them. No one should find the murder of children by other children entertaining and the Capitol citizens must be very heartless because of it. The Capitol citizens would feel differently about the Games if their own children competed and faced the full effect…
