Monday Night Football

In Elie Wiesel's memoir, “Night” it is clearly shown that throughout the book he slowly loses faith in his God. He is forced out of his home in Sighet, moved to a ghetto, and then moved to several concentration camps. As he endures the cruel punishments from the Germans, because of his religion, he almost loses sight of what should be important to him; his faith, himself, and his family. When tragedy occurs some might be completely destroyed and devastated, whilst others are strengthened and…

This loss of faith is best described by Elie in the “Never shall I forget” passage that is found at the top of page 32 in Night. This passage is placed in the book as Elie is spending his first night in the concentration camp. However, it makes more sense to look at this passage as a testament of Elie’s views after the Holocaust had ended because he is recounting events from his experiences that he will never…

homeward toward dawn. "I implore you, unwavering cloak. Let her be," The Night sky would moan. Its unearthly-meander spilling into the earth below. "Tell me I do not love the evidence of dawn!" but the wind's mouth does not converse, it only whispers the truth--should you listen. Should you have ears to hear,"tell me she doesn't love me!" Limbless. Formless. As if a breath! The fragmented light threw her arms about the night sky! Spilling her luminosity into form... Bleeding, as the wind…

“Brian’s Song” was the most iconic made-for-TV movie. ABC strategically placed its premier, utilizing the concept of “flow” to cross-over their normal, stereotypical male Monday Night Football audience, towards the broad audience they were striving for their prime-time football games. Doing this allowed Monday Night Football to become a “consensual space”, thanks to the high viewing rates of the connecting film. These ideas worked with the themes of the movie to construct a positive vision…

Football is not a big sport in Los Angeles even since the Los Angeles Rams left for St. Louis in 1995. For me football has been my passion. I watched it, played it and even studied it. My father played in high school and I wanted to do the same. I was so excited when I made the team on my freshman year. I was happy that I got to be the free safety of the team. I felt important knowing I was the last line of defense. It got better when I was promoted to varsity in the middle of my sophomore…

1. After the last few months we have had the privilege to spend at People’s City Mission, it became increasingly prevalent that the cultural lens that my group and I had versus the lens which the kids came from was entirely different. When we first began our fieldwork there, being told that their lives were structured, I thought that they would have no problem switching from one task to the other without difficulty. However, I couldn’t have been more wrong. It isn’t that the kids are bad,…
