In this photograph, a young boy wearing a bubbly bright blue shirt shamelessly flashes a rather tooth lacking smile for the camera. His arms and legs are crossed while he sits on a tiled bench under an ominous and cloud speckled sky. Behind this young boy rests a little girl wearing a tomato red complexion. She is adorned with a shiny silver necklace and a shirt that literally screamed summer. Under her resting hand laid cold tiles that would leave an imprint of the frigid shapes that pressed…

However, there are a couple reasons why hockey resonates with what Canadians believe are some of the best aspects of their culture. “There is a “subculture” to ice hockey that is different than the “culture” of other sports. Rooted in the early Canadian pioneering spirit - being obsessively competitive was often seen as necessary to thrive and survive. Being tough, persistent, and being able to defend one’s self…

In the newspaper I have selected, the articles discuss a number of sports that were played in Canada in the early 1900’s. I will focus on the hockey articles in this first paragraph and argue how hockey as a sport has shaped society to be a hegemonic one. To begin, I will summarize the hockey articles discussed in the newspaper and bring up what I thought is important not only to how sports was reported and looked at but as well how sports shapes society and as well sets gender norms. In the…

Annoyed, I listen to the loud patter of rain on the roof. Each drop only a tap, but together they make a blaring noise. It's the first time that I have left the U.S., this time to go to Belgium, and not only is it raining, I'm also horribly sick. With snot dripping from my nose; a box of seemingly useless Kleenexes to the side of the bed, the seconds tick by one after the other. Each minute seeming as long as, or longer than, an hour. I lie in bed, with my eyes closed, but sleep does not come,…

Saturday afternoon in December and frighteningly cold out. Becca had gone to the ice rink to watch Ashley skate. Sitting on the bleachers, freezing, wishing her best friend was a gymnast or even a pianist, she reached up and pulled her hat over her ears. She peered through the glass wall, out to the ice, and quickly forgot about her frozen extremities. Ashley’s coach stood scrutinizing her as she sped across the ice, jumped high in the air, spun around into a blur of beautiful colors and…
