A key element that has allowed readers to thoroughly understand the statements made by Willy throughout the play is the presence of ‘flashbacks’ that display key events in Willy’s life, which also provides rationale for various decisions he makes throughout the play. Throughout the play, it is made evident that Willy has ‘fallen out of his prime’—from gradually losing income over several years to ultimately losing his job and ability to…

Head Collisions Many people know me as the clumsy or danger prone girl. I tend to get hurt a lot. Most of the times it is a quick recovery and I am back at whatever I like to do best in no time. During the end of my junior year and beginning of my senior year I got diagnosed with two separate concussions. These incidents happened within five months of each other which isn’t good when playing a sport that uses your head a lot. Both of my concussions happened the same way, they came from playing…

That is an issue in our society that we must address. Participation awards are what I'm talking about. Participation awards should be abolished. My reasons for this initiative are: they give individuals a false perspective, only the winners of events should receive awards, and…

Bailee Gunnell Compare and Contrast Essay Do you know that the author for “The Ghost Bird” is Roland Smith and the author for “Game Over” is Eric Kahn Gale? Before Roland (the author of “The Ghost Bird”) was an author, he was zookeeper and Eric Kahn Gale’s first book was called “Bully Book”. Both of these stories have similarities and differences such as genre and point of view. One similarity between the two stories is genre. I know this because, in “Game Over”, Ryan is a realistic…

At any team event, tryouts especially, I try to interact with the newer golfers because I remember how intimidating it can be at first. One girl in particular, who plays for a different high school, was extremely shy when I first met her. I knew how she felt, so I tried to talk to her whenever I saw her and make her feel comfortable on the course. It is amazing to watch someone come out of their shell because they…

Despite this resolve, I was terrified at the thought of having to actually wrestle someone, so when I found out that my first wrestling match would be against a small, unassuming girl 20…

In sixth hour crew class, the class is playing tchoukball and it's the most intensified game of tchoukball I have ever seen. It was the red team versus the green team, and when the game started the red team won the tip off. Tyler yelled “Cole I’m open!”, then Cole passed it to Tyler and he flung it on the rebounder like Aaron Rodgers throwing a football to Jordy Nelson, and the ball launched off the rebounder. The green team couldn’t catch it so the red team scored a point. Cole and Nick were…

Watching the ball leave my teammate’s stick, fly through the air, and land in my stick was only the beginning of my love for lacrosse. Now, every time I shoot the ball and it strikes the back of the net, I remember the first time I played lacrosse and I am extremely grateful for it. I knew from the moment I picked up a stick, that I had a future and I would need to work extremely hard to become the best player I could be. Although I was not able to catch or throw my first time practicing, I kept…
