I apologized to my coach and to my teammates for being a ball hog. I promised all of them that I would be a better team player for the second half of the game. After our talk, my coach and team got my adrenaline going again by starting basketball chants. We were on our way out of the locker room for the second half, and as the lights shined down on me, the crowd chanted my name. It was surreal!
Response to “A Race of Sound” by Gregory Corso Reading this poem made me think of my brother, Milo. I can easily connect this poem to him because he is very loud, especially when he doesn’t get what he wants. Recently, my brother keeps on going in my room, I scream at him and tell my parents that he’s in my room and they told him to get out or they would take his tablet away. Eventually, he got out of my room but not before his tablet got taken away.
We ended up playing in the championship game on Sunday. We played the Rising Stars. They were all just as talented as us so it all came down to whoever plays the hardest. We had a different starting lineup this game. Jack replaced Drew.
Perched up high again my neighbor a gymnast encouraged me as he climbed up and backflipped off the fence, the crowd went crazy screaming for more I knew it was time. It was not as I had envisioned it but harder riskier and better. I found myself trapped in a moment in space and time with a huge decision to make as my heart kept pounding. With flashbacks of the practices and fails and everything, I endured learning this move running through my mind. I knew it was now or never.
As I began to attempt my feats, all eyes strayed to me, the new kid at the school. As I did my jumps, I became more comfortable and did a reasonably decent job. Then the moment of humiliation struck. When I landed after a swivel hip seat drop jump, an embarrassing noise escaped my mouth which sounded something like ahhhtititititi. I felt my face heat to scarlet and quickly climbed down off the tramp.
He jumped right in front of me and saved me from a very angry grandmother. He took me out in the hall and asked me if I wanted to play a game. I of course said yes and followed him down to the basement. That night we created a game called 'Dodge ball mix of Hide'N'Seek.' It it wasn't for his fun personality and his
(he repeats this line over and over). As he continues to cry his grandma is like I will give something to actually cry about. In the background you can hear people laughing as he tells the joke and then the camera does a close up on the public and they are just nodding in agreement to what George Lopez just said about how it was growing
Lee also uses Jem, who (in his wise old age) is proficient at reading people, to help set the tone for Mayella being honest and victimized by all those around her. Jem says comments throughout Bob Ewell’s testimony that he was probably lying, but Mayella’s tears seemed real. Also, while being questioned by Atticus, Mayella cries often and, at the beginning tells the judge that Atticus scares her. Because there are
The theme is overcoming obstacles because Ava in the passage was discriminated by her teammates and had to overcome her adversity. The quote “Ava, are you dead? At that the team shed fake tears and sobbed at the fake death,” shows that Ava is getting bullied by all of the other kids on her track team. Not only are the kids bullying Ava but her own coach is also. For example, Mr. McCoy said, “You guys are so funny” when the kids
I heard someone was saying “if he fired he must die for it.” And then there was a lot of people were coming to see what was going on. It feels so weird! The people were throwing things at each other and fighting with each other. The soldiers Preston sent the soldiers and I saw them coming to the crowd.
I leaped as high as I could and unfortunately missed the tip the game was already heading south but the game had just started so we had no worries. The first quarter had several lead changes we both had bad shooting quarters shooting below the 30% but that wasn’t what mattered we were all worried about looking good as a team and winning the game not individual stats. About ¾ of the way through the first quarter our coach called a timeout and called us to the sideline and said “Guys you are a great group of kids and have made my coaching experience beyond expectable and you are a bright group of kids so after this season I’ll be retiring and making sure I go out with bang so win this game for me!” and that’s when the game took a drastic change, we began to play with our heart not just our
501 It was Halloween night, my three friends Bryce, Zach, and Bailey and I were so excited, it was the 666th Halloween, we had all met up at Bryce’s Brother KY’s house in Donaldson, Arkansas. We had been invited to this Halloween party in down town Malvern on the train tracks by ACME Brick. So we called Bailey’s sister Megan because she lives beside KY’s house and KY and his Fiancé Megan wouldn’t take us to that part of Malvern because it is one of the worst neighborhoods in Malvern. So she takes us to the opposite side of Malvern and dropped us off at Bryce’s mom’s house on Louisiana st.
When I was in high school, times were very difficult. I didn’t have many friends and I had issues that I had to deal with. I never understood why I didn't have many friends. I would talk to people and try to start a conversation. But, most people would shut me out.
So do you ever wonder what my favorite quote is from the story, “With a little help from my friends.” My favorite quote is, “They wanted to know about more important things, such as camels. How many did we own back home? What did we feed them? Was it a bumpy ride?”
