Ruins

Vince Lombardi once said, "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up." This quote is explaining that if you try something and fail, don't just give up right away, try it again until you get it right. I feel that this quote relates to my life in many different ways because of the different life experiences I have had, and over time all of these experiences made me a better person in the end. When I was eight years old, I was in the pool with my friends at summer camp.…

money. Therefore, if players continue to use actions similar to the Black Sox then the meaning of a baseball game would be irrelevant. The game should always be played with ones best effort in order to beat the opponent. Thus, purposely fixing games ruins the game and is rather seen as a standard performance or play. Likewise, some suggest that only a handful of the players “actually” fixed the series and the others never actually performed down or even took any extra money. As seen in the film,…

The stone remains are “half sunk” within the desert, beaten and ravaged by the immeasurable force of the elements and time (4). Knowing that the landscape is a desert, we can see the winds battering the ruins until they disappear within the sand – eventually, Ozymandias’s statue will cease to exist forever. Nevertheless, the remaining pieces of the statue make enough of an impression on the traveler that he shares the story with the speaker. The stone face…

I almost died. I feel bad that I ignored Hope. The journal entries say little about her and her sister, only that I had a bad feeling about going higher on the mountain. When I tell Morgan all of this she is shocked. There are no records of the ruins and no warnings for rockslides the day that I was there. She calls the doctors and tells them that I remember everything now. I wonder why she told them this and then as I listen to her tell them everything I just told her I begin to worry. Why do…

person the utmost respect despite only visiting or living outside of the city. What caused Detroit's descent from a wealthy, vital city into one where "ruins" are common and the city is bankrupt? The lack of care and concern from the people who are in the charge of the city and its people. Despite all of these attractions, the city is still in ruins and is still in major debt. Some people could also say that it's the governors and Michigan's government that caused the downfall of Detroit.…

Book II of Vergil’s Aeneid tells the story of Troy’s destruction at the hand of the Greeks and Aeneas’ flight from the ruined city. In Aeneas’ narration, there is a clear image pattern of fire that spans all parts of his story.

can be many “what if” statements concerning the Cold War, but my belief is that America did ruin any trust that was held between Russia and the U.S. when they avoided telling the Soviets about the creating of an atomic bomb. I feel as though America did not have faith in Russia’s honesty, and wanted to avoid any attention towards the United States and the atomic bomb. Because the Soviet Union was in such ruins, why would they want to risk breaking forces when they needed it most? As expected,…
