Roses Tournament

During the 1996 Masters golf tournament at Augusta, one of the world’s finest golf courses, Greg Norman played one of the greatest eighteen hole games he had ever played. Norman shot an incredible score of 63, which still stand today as a course record. Norman went into the second day of gold with a fifteen stroke lead, only to choke under pressure scoring a 78 the day after shooting such an amazing game. Nick Faldo managed to come from behind and defeating Norman by a five stroke margin winning…

When examining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ preseason performance thus far, an often heard question comes to mind. How much should preseason play be factored into projecting the upcoming NBA regular season? The Cavs met the Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies in their first three preseason games and lost each contest, albeit by an average of less than five points per game. Tuesday night, the Cavaliers (more like a deficient version of the team) met the Milwaukee Bucks at Quicken…

The gelid snow was piercing into my body. And there I was, at the Semi-finals of my second junior Tennis tournament. The first time I had been to a tennis tournament, I did great. Considerably greater than I expected. I was eleven years old in the summer of sixth grade and I was a semi-finalist at the USTA (United States Tennis Association) junior tournament. Could I have won that tournament? Of Course I could have. If only I had realized that sooner. But there was something missing in my…

Many historians wonder what is the most sole significant achievement of Henry VII’s – making the crown of England dynasty or making the country itself better. On 21st April 1509 Henry VII sadly passed away, leaving the crown to his youngest son, Henry VIII. Henry VIII then later married Catherine of Aragon on 11th June and after had their coronation on 24th June 1509 at Westminster Abby. Henry VII’s sole achievement was to pass the throne onto his son, which he did manage to pass the throne…

In the story "A Rose for Emily", the author, William Faulkner, portrays Emily as a mysterious older lady, which is unusual. In most people 's idea of an older woman, everyone knows what is going on with her; she talks about her grandchildren and pays her bills. Emily Grierson was not like that at all. She was, in fact, the complete opposite. She was traditional, stubborn, overly adoring over subjects that could easily be solved a different way. Emily Grierson lives in traditional ways. She felt…

revenue”(Cheney-Rice). This means that the NCAA is almost completely funded by the tournament. If that stat doesn’t surprise you, then observe the amount a team will make every round they advance in the NCAA Tournament. Mackenzie Thirkill wrote an article “Where Does All the NCAA Tournament Money Go?” and in it she outlines the increased amount of money a team gets for moving from one round to the next. She claims that by just making the tournament a team gets about 245 thousand dollars, and if…

incorporates a full story. The story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner wrote in 1931, has both of these things with a dark twist. Although most of Faulkner’s stories are unique such as “As I lay Dying” (1930) and “Sanctuary” (1931), the one that stands out the most to me is “A Rose for Emily”. Within this story, the two themes that are really emphasized would be death and change and it is easily seen how each theme progressed with the story. What makes “A Rose for Emily” unique is the…

those who did not comply and rebelled against the law, are they bad people for not being good citizens? Honestly, what defines us as a good citizens and does it come in to conflict with being good people? After examining Karl Jaspers and the White Rose Movement and their views on the holocaust, maybe it is time to redefine what a good citizen is. Especially during the times when…

the number of defining, long-lasting but generally political un-taxing decisions he made. Several of these contributed to the longevity of the Tudor dynasty and worked to bring stability and balance to England in the years succeeding the Wars of the Roses. While there were a number of failures during reign, none of them were particularly devastating and were all generally short-term issues. Key successes in Henry’s political moves included arranged marriages that forged connections and…

British elements to their outfits, some boys growing their hair long and wearing trench coats. The girls often wore make up- which Nazi’s strongly detested-, short skirts and wore their hair down, instead of the typical German braids. The White Rose The White Rose were a group of students from Munich University that were an anti- Nazi resistance group. Their professor Kurt Huber led their group.
