Single-elimination tournament

An event that everyone looks forward for, an event that started in 1995 to todays worldwide occasion. Seasons pass and yet another Victoria Secret Fashion show airs. This year I decided not to watch the show. Why? Because personally it makes me feel bad and causes me to start shaming my own body. Watching about 50 sexy Angels walk down a runaway 5’9 in height and approximately 120 pounds doesn’t make me feel so great about me being 5’1 and 136 pounds. If you’re one of the people who did watch…

Getting accepted into Fresh start has changed my life for the better. Everything in my life was headed downhill all at once. I was in a really tight space. I tried to be strong, but the obstacles did not stop. I struggled with keeping up with my school work, and waking up every morning was a challenge. I was not getting any sleep, due to my late night job. It was hard knowing I was fighting an uphill battle that was destine for failure. My life seem to depended on a three test, either the SAT,…

The Pumpkin Which Wanted to Become a Chariot It was close to midnight when Betty the pumpkin was deeply asleep when she was awoken by an intense light. She slowly opened her eyes and asked her fellow pumpkin who was right next to her. -What is that? -Shhhhhhhhh- her neighbor said-, I’ll tell you in a minute, I’m trying to listen. Betty saw two women talking, one of them was a beautiful young lady dressed in rags, her clothes were old and stained; the other was a bright lady, literally. As a…

Don’t you Cringe, my Boy “Good morning James”, Venessa would enthusiastically great me every morning when she passed by my office door. Venessa was something to see. She stood an intimidating 6’9’’ while I was only 5’5’’. I always thought that I could dare this lofty devil; either tiptoe and reach her space (mark you she was worth the trouble) or bring her down(what are cranes for any way?). We used to call tall women devils as we thought they were a deadly devious and scheming lot. But wait a…

pressure. But as my approach to the ball in the biggest game in my soccer career became shorter, my whole body was overcome by a surge of doubt. My muscles froze and I could feel the eyes of all two thousand bystanders glued onto my back. The effect this single kick of a ball, something I’ve done since the age of three, was one that would cause a terrible experience. Nothing could compare to the experience that was on the horizon during that humid July afternoon. The heavy breathing and nerves…

It’s Columbus Day. People are relaxing because they have the day off. They’re not worrying about anything. But, not knowing the horrifying history of this national holiday. Columbus Day is about an Italian explorer named Christopher Columbus. He was the founder of the New World, “they” say, even though he wasn’t the first European to come to the New World. Vikings arrived 500 years before he did. But then, Columbus came and took land from the Native Americans and claimed that he found it first.…

America is known for “land of the free” and it proves the main idea of how this world we live in works, by that it provides access to the American Dream. Americans should believe in what they want and do what they want to make themselves successful because someone will always try to level down another person. Improve life without negative comments. In Barack Obama’s speech, he says “We can make the right choices and meet the challenges that face us.” They know they have to work hard to get…

When asked a question like what subculture I am a member of, I get perplexed. Being able to identify your own culture or subculture is as difficult as identifying your own accent, most just never notice it and feel everyone else is the one who has one. I actually Googled if there is a name for a person who does not belong to, or cannot readily identify their subculture, to no avail. I am one of these individuals. I do not “fit” into any subculture that I have ever encountered. I was a “clique…

1) How was Walter portrayed differently by the two male actors (Poitier and Combs)? For this particular question I will be comparing the portrayal of Walter in both the 1962 and the 2008 movie. In the most recent version of A Raisin in the Sun, Sean Combs played Walter. However, I do not feel as though was right for the part. Combs seemed to not have enough emotion in his acting and it was though he was acting incredibly casual and calm, which is NOT how Walter Lee is. For example, in the…
