A great hockey player once said, “You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take.” This hockey player is named Wayne Gretzky. I want to be remembered as a great person; by the words, actions, and achievements I have done in my life. No one will ever remember me if I don’t live by this aphorism. If I don’t try to hit those shots I would never know if I could hit them. If you don’t try to do something new; how will you ever be someone in life? People will never know what is on the other side of that door if they don’t open it.

It’s me-squidward. You have probably heard a lot about me from Spongebob and Patrick, whatever they said is probably bad.

“Baseball is soo easy. People play it because other sports are too hard for them.” one kid said.

For most of my childhood, the sport of baseball was the one activity I loved above anything else. Nothing could compare to the exhilarating freedom and satisfaction of bolting full speed around the bases, determined to steal 2nd, beating the "Throwdown" by a fraction of a second. The massive dust cloud kicked up by my cleats and the thunderous boom of the umpire shouting, "Safe!" made me feel empowered.

Some people read because they love to, some people read because they have too ,but when people read they may not notice what the author is doing. Authors use many literary devices that make the piece you are reading worthwhile. Literary devices do many things whether it is to develop a character; build structure or even describe how a person looks. I will be explaining the various literary devices Gennifer Choldenko used to develop the characters in the book “Al Capone Does My Shirts.” The book “Al Capone Does My Shirts” is based on a group of kids growing up on Alcatraz Island, which holds a prison full of felons murders and many other convict’s one of the most dangerous prisons of them all.

Jack was on his way to the first baseball practice of the season. Everybody knew that Jack was the best baseball player in the small town of Bosville, but over the summer a new baseball player moved into town, named Joe. Joe was supposed to be better than Jack.

For the first time in Jack’s baseball career he is going to have to play good to keep his position at shortstop.

Nowadays, many people don 't know where an important piece of history originated from. Although much of it dates back to a couple 100 years ago, such as in sports. Many of the sports popular today have their roots coming from the late 19th century. Though for many of the sports today, many of them are part of people 's lives and dedicate their time to it not just for fun but for the love of the game. Like for Boxing and Baseball they 're not easy sports to learn, but for some people it comes naturally. Many of today 's athletes dedicate their time to just get better and be the best. It 's just only competitive.

Joey got into his windup and threw the first pitch. It was a fastball right down the middle. The hitter from the other team smacked it down to second base and the second baseman threw him out. The next batter stepped up and he threw two fastballs and a change up to strike him out. Joey was confident he would end the first half of the inning pretty quick, but then he saw Conner. Conner bullied him at school because he had a weight problem. Every day when Joey got to school he was picked on. The thing that Joey hated the most
