conception of the range of possible experience” (Lewis, 70). Reality may not have brain-infecting funguses, time-stopping orgasms, or even fathers who will willingly give up their inheritance to a frivolous son, but these conventions let deeper truths play out more freely. This doesn’t mean these narratives, or stories in general, must be allegorical parables. Tolkien himself preferred “…history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers” (Tolkien,…

The wind whistles. The owl hoots. The cricket chirps. The fan next to my bed spins on and on forever. While lying in my bed, I begin thinking about people I know and begin questioning why people talk the way they talk and act the way they act. Nevertheless, my perspective of several people, including relatives and friends, changed after reading your allegory because I began to notice that many people around me symbolize many characters in Christian’s life. Mr. Bunyan, your allegory changed my…

little I saw this very short person for his age playing in my favorite LBBVA 1(liga espanola) soccer team FC Barcelona. When I saw him play it was like magic, the moment he got the ball you could see the opponent's gang up on him because they knew if they gave him space he would score. Lionel Messi is the person who brought me back to soccer because when I saw him play in the Champions, it made me think, "look at those moves, damn, I want to be like him". Another reason I want to be like him is…

Edna Ferber, is a play about three generations of a wealthy family during the 1920s. I watched the play on December 6, 2015 at the Pierce College Arts Building. The play was directed Anita Adcock, who did great job setting the play as she intended it to be. Everything from the costumes, the lighting, to the typecasting was excellently produced. Particularly, the set design was able to greatly express the theme of the play. The setting mainly takes place in the family’s home. The play included…

Everybody loves free t-shirts, right? They’re the perfect reward for doing something good, attending a special event, competing in a competition, and so much more. But, usually everyone that participates gets the same shirts, not just some of the participants. However, the boys on the cross-country team are getting free shirts for winning state, but the girls are not. The girls should get the same shirts and treatment as the boys do, because we are all one big team. Coach always said, “We…

to perhaps win cash or prizes, how would you do it? Maybe you would go to your grandmother’s BINGO competition, or maybe you put your ticket in a raffle and hope that your number is called. Both those options sounds enticing, but instead I would go play games or maybe answer trivia questions. Yes, I understand that BINGO is a game, but I’m not talking about that kind of game. Instead, I’m talking about gameshows, like Jeopardy or Legends of the Hidden Temple. It will feel like we are in the…

weaknesses. There was never a doubt that we were going to win those matches. While we were off, I went and watched the teams we were going to play the next day. I repeated my process and wrote scouting reports for each of the possible teams we might play. The next day, we won all of our games and made it to the gold bracket. I went to watch some more teams that we could play and wrote scouting reports on…

In the early to mid-1900’s sports journalism in America was quickly becoming more and more popular. Two of the most prolific journalist were Grantland Rice and W.C. Heinz. Both had differing writing styles, Rice leaning towards more exaggerations and Heinz relying more on facts and letting the subject tell the story. Rice’s myth-making and overall exaggeration of sports was entertaining, Heinz’s more realistic and use of dialog resulted in overall better and more clear articles. One of Rice’s…

The day that would ultimately initiate the hunger for success was a day that I believed in myself and had faith in overcoming adversity. The week began in my freshman year when my close friends convinced me to try out for the Men’s Varsity Soccer team at my school. At the time, I had never played soccer a day in my life so, of course to anyone I was guaranteed to not make the team. Well, when I went to try-outs, I was struggling to keep up but I would always give it my all. Each day, I went to…

Co-Ed sports teams consist of athletes of both genders. These types of teams are typically only available for the younger kids, but what if it was an option for the older players too? Having the option to play co-Ed sports could be a massive push in the right direction for both the children involved, and the reputation of the school promoting it. The school would likely be the only one in town offering the student athletes a fun and healthy way to learn to work with others, relieve themselves…
