Holds of Pern

Growing up most kids participate in basketball, football, and baseball. But growing up with a father who was a wrestler, I chose to wrestle. My dad got me started in wrestling when I was about three years old; I instantly loved it. I fell in love with the sport and by the time I was in high school, wrestling was about the only sport I participated in. My freshman and sophomore years were a bit rough, as I wasn’t big enough to field the lightest weight class. By the time I was a junior I was big…

I disagree with Bruce Springsteen when he says, “Remember, nobody wins unless everybody wins.” That’s a very liberal way of thinking. I can think of many sports, mainly wrestling where that’s not true. Along with many real world experiences and health issues that have proven this statement false. Mr. Springsteen is miss-lead in his quote about winning. Wrestling does not owe anyone anything. Let’s go back to state wrestling.

When you're playing against people who are just gambling away money, no-limit hold'em cash is a very fun and profitable game, even if you aren't exceptionally skilled.

Similarly with rock ‘n’ roll and the Vietnam War, hip-hop became a vessel of social realism of the oppressive conditions going on in urban black communities of American society. One group crucial to the evolution of the genre of hip-hop was Public Enemy which spoke with strong conviction to spread…

and simple in the grand scheme of things. Thus, the syntax makes a subtle comment that Hester is to endure a much harsher form of confinement now within her community as she will be the target of shaming and pearl, who is the last thing she truly holds onto in her life, will feel the harsh consequences of Hester’s shame. Through the use of a single independent clause and several subordinate clauses the prison-house’s details and location is revealed. It is stated that this first prison of…

the scarlet letter presented too little of a punishment; execution seemed more fitting. These ladies stood in front of an “ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-pern, and such unsightly vegetation” (Hawthorne 45). Through conveying the horrific piece of land which displays a dull and dark surrounding, Hawthorne further conveys the somber tone. Once again, by using tone through figurative language, Hawthorne…
