Prisoner Ball

Volleyball is the best sport ever. Volleyball causes people to be physically active. It also helps people become healthier. In volleyball you get to do cool actions while playing and/or practicing. First, volleyball causes people to be physically active. In order to gain points, your team has to get the ball over the net without the other team touching the ball. Your team only gets three hits to get it over the net, so you have to be physically active to gain points to win. You also have to be active when you serve. So really, volleyball is an all around physically active sport. Second, in volleyball you get to do cool actions while you play and/or practice. Some of those cool actions are called spiking, blocking, and serving. In…

Our athlete, John, is engaging in the motor task of setting a volleyball over a net. He is not encumbered by non-regulatory environmental constraints since the sun is hidden on this cloudy day and there are no spectators to distract, cheer, or make him nervous. John’s movement must conform to the regulatory environmental constraints regarding the size, shape, and velocity of the ball. He is moving to get into position (a mobility constraint) somewhere on a smooth, yet irregular, sandy surface…

after the experiment is over. To be able to understand the physics and movement of the ball in volleyball would make this experiment a great one. There are many factors that go into a volleyball serve. There are also some definitions that might be unfamiliar to a person who does not play volleyball. The first is a float serve which can be defined as a serve that does not spin and moves in…

One of Plato’s many philosophical theories is the Myth of the Cave. In the textbook Philosophy The Power if Ideas, pg. 38: Plato describes a scene, in which there are prisoners held captive in a cave facing away from the entrance. There is a fire behind them, and that fire is casting shadows of the objects in front of the fire onto the wall that they are looking at. These prisoners have then obtained the perception that this is the reality of the situation. This is the true size, shape and…

When prisoners died they were buried in the prison cemetery, which is located across from the prison. Of the 111 deaths only 104 of the bodies were buried in the cemetery, the other seven were claimed by the families. Only one body was never buried or given to the family, it was the one-hundred and twelfth death that happened on the way to Yuma. The prisoner tried to escape by jumping off the train but hit his head on a rock on the way down. That was the first and only death to be taken place…

Sometimes when the elevator went out the prisoners being put to death would be walked through our hall. The looks on their faces would always seem so broken. Completely unexplained Ashna would beg to sit with them on their last days. When she came back she would sleep until the day they were brought out to breathe their last breath. Upon knowing that, she would stand by the cell gate and crane her neck to see them leave, with her hand stretched out to touch them as they passed by. It irritated…

reflects non-conformity in his ways to tease the authorities and will not take any advice from the other prisoners. Conformity is expressed through the prison guards clothing, and the prisoner’s actions. Obedience to authority is seen through Dragline – Luke’s right hand man – who believes following rules will lead to a positive outcome. Luke spent most of his life conforming, and being obedient in the military. After all this time following rules and orders, he decided…

In “Allegory of The Cave,” philosopher Plato explains to his student, Glaucon, that there are prisoners in a den tied up and have never been able to turn their bodies nor their heads to see what is behind them: a blazing fire. The prisoners can only see a wall and the shadows casted from the objects that pass along front of the fire (583). The shadows are the only truth the prisoners know since they have never been exposed to anything outside the cave. Plato further explains saying “To them...…

In the text “the Cave Allegory” by Plato is about people who are confined Plato states, “ their legs and neck chained” in a cave facing one direction of a wall, with a fire as the only light and a roadway behind them. The confined people are only able to see the shadows of the objects which people are holding as they pass by on the roadway. Plato talks about the tiresome and challenging journey of how one achieves real truth not second hand truth, which the prisoners perceive is real. In this…

The allegory of a cave is analogous to a world of visible reality in a cave, and a world of reality that can be seen by intelligence outside a cave. The prisoners who are locked in a cave that cannot even look inside the cave in the cave are confused by the rational judgment, the slave of the desire not to be able to make a good judgment, the shadow that blurs the rational judgment, The person who can come out is someone who is trying to have a reasonable judgment, and if the person mentioned in…
