Hurling

” the reporter’s expectation of what Little Rock could have been is no longer existent (Brooks 54, 57). He no longer foresees a future where come “Christmas Little Rock will cleave / To Christmas tree and trifle” (Brooks 16, 17). The actions of “hurling spittle, rock, Garbage, and fruit in Little Rock” show that though racial integration has been put forth by the government, most of the population does not agree with this decision. By forcing the integration of schools, the government did not…

Hattie Carroll was a black barmaid at the Emerson Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. One evening at a charity ball after assaulting other hotel workers and hurling racial slurs, Zantzinger struck Carroll with a toy cane, which later resulted in her death. Zantzinger was charged with homicide but it was later reduced to manslaughter. He ended up serving six months in jail and was fined only $625. This was followed…

I can smell the awful smell of cigarette some. Another example would be, “Then, abruptly , the atmosphere was shattered by the crash of a screen door and a volley of wild barking. A small black and white terrier burst out of the house and a came hurling across the the yard to throw itself full force against the side of the car.” In my mind I can picture the terroir come running out of the house. The…

humor the reader and support the author's thesis stated in the title. Why the hell does our society care so damn much about sports? There are hundreds upon thousands of men and women making millions of dollars quite simply because they excel at hurling an orange ball into a circular hoop. Bill Simmons wrote a nine page article about an oversized man’s “legacy” of putting a ball into said hoop. This poses a rather difficult question, are athletes really worth all of that money flowing into…

In Greek literature, mythological gods play very centric roles in the plot. The Iliad and Medea are of no exception; however, the gods in the Iliad by Homer constantly interfere while the gods in Medea by Euripides remain passive. In the Iliad, the goddess Athena acts on behalf of the Achaeans multiple times. In Medea, the gods allow Medea to commit horrible acts and do not intervene (on or against her behalf) until the very end. In both works, the relationships between the gods and humans…

Mosquito bitten and worn, Logan pushed aside tangled rushes, and reeds, using a flashlight as a guide to wade through the shallow marsh. It did not help that the pouring rain flooded the sedges, they stepped over as lightning streaked across the sky. The light landed on a crocodile on the hunt. A hiss broke from the reptile’s snout that opened, exposing its conical teeth. Reeda squealed and rushed away. “Help me!” A voice shouted. Logan spun around just in time to see Reeda as she sunk deeper…

for complaining that an officer was late in paying a barber bill. As anger escalated, a church bell rang, which drew people out of their homes. The British soldiers of the 29th Regiment of Foot were called to duty. In turn, townspeople responded by hurling snowballs and debris at the soldiers. A group of men led by Attucks approached the vicinity of the government building with clubs in hand. Violence soon erupted, and a soldier was struck with a thrown piece of wood. Some accounts named Attucks…

It was July 2nd. My family was coming together in New Mexico for a family reunion! It may not seem bad, but it was my first reunion and I did not know what would happen. The night before we left I was anxious and worried, I had no idea what happened in family reunions at all! There were not any flights straight to New Mexico, so we took one to El Paso, Texas. When we got to El Paso, we rented a car and drove the rest of the way to New Mexico. After we arrived in New Mexico, we visited my…

skilled when they become a knight.Peasant children also played some of the same games as stool ball but they played different games as Golf, Game Ball, and Bowls. Noble children and peasant children played the the a lot of the same games as well, as hurling, skittles, hammer, and land buckler. But those are just some.Wrestling is where they basically tackle each other to teach them to be strong and hold defense.Training games in the middle ages were interesting because you learn what they had to…

The Big Dipper is the first constellation I learned to identify as a child. Though I made up stories and constellations as I stared into the velvety darkness, the Big Dipper was the only "real" one I knew. This constellation is one of the easiest to find, as well as being one of the few that can be spotted year-round in North America. It is also part of another constellation, Ursa Major. Another advantage to being able to point out is that it also becomes easy to find Polaris, the North Star. If…
