And one cannot exist without the other,” these are the words of Eric Burdon that summarize the events that took place in Lord of the Flies by William Golding and The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell.

Both of the stories have a man who is in love with a girl who they would do anything for even if it would hurt them in the end. “He couldn't possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do” (The Great Gatsby, 148). Gatsby didn’t want to leave or do anything until he actually knew what Daisy final decision would be. He would do anything to have them be together because he loved her so much. Gatsby would hold onto hope that they would be together and he would keep trying everything possible to try to win her love even though it would hurt him. When she assured him that she had not kissed the other man, he knew she was lying--yet he was glad that she had taken the trouble to lie to him” (Winter Dreams, 5).This quote is showing how Judy would treat Dexter and how he would just still have a little hope that she cared about him. Just like in The Great Gatsby, Gatsby would hold onto something small like when Daisy would spend time with him or if she would lay her head on him. In both stories the men would hold onto some hope that they would be with the woman they wanted. Gatsby and Dexter would have done anything for Daisy and Judy. Altogether the stories have a man who is in love with a girl and would do anything for her but they just get hurt in the end from

In The Gathering of Old Men a white man, Beau, is found dead in a black man’s yard, Mathu.

The United States took initiative in the removal of heading in soccer for kids under the age of 10, as well as limiting 11-13 year olds to just 30 minutes of heading per week. Concussion research and recovery programs have decided that it’s best to remove heading from youth soccer for safety issues and long term health reasons. Their idea is that kids who still have highly developing brains should not take any hard hits or damage during this growth. However, the implement of this new rule should be removed. The banning of youth heading should be revoked because concussions are frequent in many more ways, this rule can later lead to more severe concussions, and the growth of soccer in the United States will be halted.

Lightning crashes overhead as I race back into the house, dripping wet. I was just returning back from an adventure in the woods. The storm was unexpected, even the forecasters had never expected it. Luckily, I managed to make it back inside safely. I peered out the window as I took off my raincoat. The rain pitter pattered against the pavement softly, creating a lulling sound.
