War is one of those things that as much as one tries, one will never fully understand till one has lived the experience. However, Stephen Crane in his novel, The Red Badge of Courage, and Edward C.

Crane, specifically in Chapter 5, writes about war seen through the eyes of the protagonist, Henry, and Judson writes about his own experience. Though both…

On a sweaty, sticky night in the Bird's Nest, Bolt was out of the blocks quicker and opened up an unassailable lead over the first 100m before coming away down the straight and jabbing his thumbs at his chest as he crossed the line. His 19.55 seconds was the fastest in the world this year, his speed and peerless championship class too good for American Gatlin, whose 19.74 was well outside his season's best. Jamaican Bolt, who will also compete in the 4x100m relay, said: "It means a lot to me…

Before the end of the late spring, he had been decided for the group that would say/argue at the national wheelchair b-ball titles; the Link Autos won the national title, the first of three titles Fox would win with the group. Tired of the unforgiving Winnipeg winters, Rolly moved (starting with one place then onto the next) to Vancouver, English Columbia, in 1966. Not long after losing his right leg to growth, Fox chose to keep running crosswise over Canada to raise (thinking about…

Coach, McCarthy was my track coach in high school. He was also my sophomore biology teacher. While I was there, he received his share of ridicule and at times was controversial in an unorthodox way, like the time he named a sophomore, Jimmy Euell, to be a co-captain of the track team. I remember shortly thereafter a Norwich Bulletin sports writer crucifying him for that decision and calling him the “Innovator” in a rather derogatory manner. It didn’t bother me or my teammates one bit as we all…

Owen Lovejoy’s Provisioning had another hypothesis over the arboreal-to-terrestrial shift and the origins of bipedalism. He believed that freeing the early hominins’ hands was very important in starting bipedal locomotion, but not for the reasons Darwin stated. Lovejoy observed that the species between monkeys and apes, males tend to compete for sexual access to females. Female mothers are the ones who take care of Young monkeys or apes without the help of the male father. Female mother’s job is…

Chapter One “Wake up!” Owen jolted from his sleep. “I told you I needed these papers filed and reported on by the end of the day! I expect that to be done! Get to work!” Owen’s boss was tenacious. And for good reason too. Wednesday was filing day, a rather boring and pointless job. Despite falling asleep occasionally on the job, Owen was an amazing and productive employee. The only reason for his lack of sleep was because he was up all night doing extra surveys for his boss. Even though Mr.…
