Movies like “Million Dollar Baby”, and “The Fighter” all glorify the boxing element, and make the audience want to pick up a pair of gloves and start fighting. Boxing is showcased to be a violent sport with lots of passion, and strong victories, but Hollywood is less able to show the emotional side of the sport. However Joyce Carol Oates’ “Golden Gloves” succeeds at creating a

The first example of the practice of Islam in The Alchemist is when Santiago is in the bar in Tangier, Morocco. Since Santiago was not able to speak Arabic, he wasn’t able to verbally order a drink so he pointed to a drink that was served at the table next to him. After Santiago found out, to his disdain, that the drink was bitter tea, a Spanish man approached him and informed him that wine was forbidden due to Islamic beliefs. “‘There is no wine in this country,’ the young man said. ‘The religion

“An average person takes about 12 steps before they litter.”(“Eye-Opening Statistics”). This is a shocking statistic.

It harms the oceans, each year about 300,000 dolphins die because the government throws the trash littered into the oceans. There are millions of dolphins out in the oceans and they are declining fast because people couldn’t take another 12 steps to get to the trash cans that are all over the place

argument that can still be brought up when it comes to banning smoke on college campuses is if you are tens of feet away from a nonsmoker are you really causing harm? This is a very valid question, especially when you are outside. There is no reason to ban smoking in an area that is not going to harm nonsmokers.
