Baseball, America’s greatest pastime, has been documented in thousands of movies; however The Sandlot and The Bad News Bears capture the most memorable aspects and cruel realities of little league and backyard baseball before the sport became a hollywood enterprise. The Sandlot shows baseball in its purest form, a group of neighborhood boys playing a never ending game and playing for the love of the game. The Bad News Bears represents the pains of little league baseball, from learning what a baseball is, to finding a select few athletes who take over the team to win at all costs. Both movies are classics in the baseball genre of film and are alike, yet so different that they are entertaining for all.

Diego Rivera is often depicted in films as a jolly, plump man, but that is far from the truth. Rivera was a master of his own art because he experienced life that most people would write stories about. His ideologies were ones that could cause someone to fall in love with him or be disgusted, but he was a man of many different truths. Often when I think of Diego Rivera, I remember in the 11th grade how my AP US History teacher told a snippet of how one of Diego Rivera's Murals were literally whitewashed over because it gave reference to communism, and the US had created Communism to be bitter for many people. Because of that I began to read about Communism and began to questions its importance, validity, and whether it was good or bad.

No one person in Athens is as ignorant as he, and his stupidity is something out of legend. His role serves to amplify the comedic effect of every scene that he is in, he draws a sharp contrast between himself and the nobles, and makes the infatuation of the Fairy Queen the spectacle that it is. In spite of all this, he is a kind of champion for the lower class. His ridiculous suggestions help the mechanicals put on their play, and for a short while he is able to live a lifestyle befitting a Fairy King. By rewarding Bottom with an exciting adventure, it might be suggested that Shakespeare is cheering on the good-natured ass in all of

When he first got out of college he was segregated into a negro baseball league. When he was playing, the fans would be calling him terrible names and would most likely make him mad.

I knew he liked to pick fights, had the usual Soc belief that living on the West Side made you Mr. Super-Tuff, looked good in dark wine-colored sweaters, and was proud of his rings. But what about the Bob Sheldon that Cherry Valance knew?” (162). In this instance, Ponyboy realizes that he had stereotypes Bob as just a “typical” Soc, mean and tuff without realizing that he was a just a boy too, just like him,
