The difference between baseball and football, that is a great question, first, they are not even spelled the same. The only thing I can see that is similar is that they both have the word “ball” in the spelling. Baseball seems to make sense by the spelling; it is a game with the involvement of bases. Football, by the spelling seems to be a game that involves your feet, which we all know is not the case, but seems ironic because most games are won by a field goal. A field goal is when the team…

The article “Why Do Language Die?” by Noah Tesch reminds me a conversation that I had with a Cherokee when I visited a Cherokee preservation festival several years ago. The young man I have talked with had told me that they are demanded from the government to adapt the endangered Cherokee culture into their everyday lives, which include their younger generations to learn Cherokee languages along with English. Languages are not only a way to communicate, they also represent different cultural…

Language plays a big part of our lives, having a lasting fact about us. When speaking a certain language, it can shape our identity. Having an accent will give people the perception that you’re not around from that area, city-state country. Language can have many effects on our personalities. Our language speaks volumes about our identity. Both Amy Tan’s “Mother Tongue” and Richard Rodriguez “Memoir of a Bilingual Child” are great examples of how the language you speak shape our identity.

Baseball is a game played with a bat and a ball between two teams of nine players, each on a large field having four bases that mark the course a runner must take to score. It requires teamwork and communication. Subsequent to watching the short documentary, San Quentin’s Giants, I showed some of my neighbors the short film and asked them what they thought the overall message was. Most of them said that they thought the factual program was about how convicts at San Quentin State Prison got…

I felt the bone dance out of place like a ballerina. I laid there, rolling in agony. After a few seconds the bone shifted back into place and I was yelling in pain. The coaches went running out to help me. Before the inning, I got all my catcher’s gear on and got ready to catch the fastest fastball in the league. JoJo Joseph threw harder…
