...Georgina Whitman 1/20/11 Play Play is something universal that can be done anywhere, at any time, and at any age. It is one of those things that have no language barrier. But what kind of play is the most important? After reading three articles that deal with different kinds of play such as deep play, play at work, and children’s play, otherwise known as child’s play, I believe G. Stanley Hall’s “The Story of a Sand Pile” shows that children’s play just may be the most important. Compared to deep play and play at work, children’s play seems to have no disadvantages or repercussions. Children’s play also can shape kids’ creativity and imagination. But what these three different types of play have in common is the fact that they bring everyone closer together. In “Deep Play: Notes on the Balinese Cockfight” the Balinese men use cocks in a type of play called cockfighting. A cockfight is a type of blood sport in which two cocks are put into an arena to duke it out against one another. The winner is obviously the last one standing. But what good comes out of this type of play? Although there are winners in these types of sports or any sport for that matter, losers are present also. The loser is often the one who is left with the repercussions. They have to deal with their emotion after the loss as well as scrutiny from others. This may be something hard to cope with as they are not used to this kind of thing. That is why child’s play is much better and more important. When...

...is athletes who have suffered a major injury, like a torn ACL, that requires massive recovery time, or a concussion, where severe brain damage could lead to trauma and ultimately death. There comes a point in time where a college age kid must come to their senses and make a tough but mature decision to hang up their sports career. An injured player will leave their program to open up their scholarship for someone else as a farewell gift to their school. A sad example of a career derailed due to injuries is former football player Jeff Brinson (Vint). Brinson played running back at Iowa and in 2008, he was expected to play a lot in his true freshman season. However, he suffered a broken ankle and missed the entire season. He came back ready to play in 2009, but only played in one game before re-injuring the same ankle. He then transferred in 2010 to play at Central Florida, but tore his left ACL before the season started. Almost as soon as he got back to full strength, he tore the other ACL and decided to leave football all together (Vint). After all the hype he received coming out of high school and a promising career that he had ahead of him, because of all of his devastating injuries, he played in one college football game. Of all the reasons why athletes transfer, injuries can be the hardest and most difficult to...

I grabbed the ball and jogged over, making sure to avoid the equipment. When I got closer, they smiled to...

...1991 in Middlen, Texas the temperature was around 100 degrees. I was soaked from head to toe with sweat from ridding my dirt bike all day. I had gotten a 50cc Suzuki dirt bike from my dad just a year prior and I was loving it. I rode my dirt bike all summer long that year. There was a pit not too far from my house that I could ride in that had some whoop-de-woops, and some jumps. This pit was huge, I mean it was a giant pit, it looked like a comet had struck the earth it was so big. I spent what seemed to be all day at the pit riding my dirt bike. When I finally got home I decided to cool off in the sprinklers, I ran into the house as fast as I possibly could to change clothes. As I got into the house I yelled Mom! Can I go outside and play in the sprinkler, she said yes but I had to eat supper first Dang it, I said under my breath as I continued down the long hallway. When I got to my room I looked everywhere for my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles swimming trucks, they were my favorite. I looked in all of my draws, under my bed, and in the hamper but I just couldn’t find them any ware, so I settled for my old Spiderman ones in my drawer. I got changed, ran back down the hall and into the kitchen where my mother was cooking dinner, I was thinking it was spaghetti because I could smell the tomato sauce. When I got to the kitchen I...

...day.” With women who have children being the target audience of this advertisement, the advertiser plays on the women’s emotions through the good time the women and boy seem to be having, which is made possible by the use of the EVEREADY batteries in the flashlight. Also, the setup of the advertisement as a whole plays a role- what women, who has a child, does not want to cuddle up next to their son or daughter, and use a flashlight to read?

...“Keeping families closer” Super bowl commercials this year in 2012 were primary based on Beer, Cars, and other advertisement’s with a great deal of sexual appeal. However, the least prerogative commercial is the one that was most intellectual and heart hitting. The Ronald McDonald House Charity Corporation commercial stated that “When families stay closer, Children heal faster.” The skit in this commercial provided great imagery and a scenario that was actually true, making this commercial very effective. Thanks to this charity, more children are capable of healing faster and reaching better health. The pathos of this commercial was heavily illustrated throughout the entire commercial, starting with the big, bright smiles of the mature individuals. These smiles of hope create the emotional effect, which help to capture the attention of the viewer. The scene of the child not only held the attention, but created the feeling of sympathy.

At CareerLeader we feel strongly that the current situation demands that students take a hard look at their attitudes and expectations, but not in a way that is driven by reaction, fear, or a spurious (and elusive) “flight to safety.” We believe this economy calls for students’ and other job seekers’ taking the time to renew their efforts to develop their career vision. We have something to learn in this regard from the recent past. We faced tough times in the economy in 2002 and 2003. The recession of that period hit the job market hard, and the going was very tough. During those years many students voiced some version of the complaint, “I’m going to have to abandon my dreams, my career vision, for the sake of pragmatism and a job.” No doubt there are already people who can relate to this sentiment as the current situation develops. That was the wrong attitude in 2002 and it is the wrong attitude in 2008. Now, as then, we need our dream, our sense of our personal career vision, even more, but we need to bring discipline to the dream. We need to work harder, think deeper and make the vision both more...

...Exemplar #1 Quotation – Animal Imagery To beguile the time, Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under’t (1.v.63-66) Speaker: Lady Macbeth Just as Lady Macbeth was introduced in the play, he receives a letter from Macbeth stating the witches’ prophecy and how they came true. Once Macbeth arrives and informs her that the king is to arrive soon, Lady Macbeth says that he won’t be able to see tomorrow and explains how it is a good idea to kill Duncan so that Macbeth could become king. She explains that they will act as they normally would for any feast, and pass time until it is appropriate to carry out their plan. Macbeth should watch what he does and says; to look like a harmless and innocent flower. On the other hand, she wants him to be devious and act like a serpent hiding underneath the flower. By saying this, Lady Macbeth wants Macbeth to hide the fact that they planned to have the king murdered, so that Macbeth won’t be suspected as the murderer. This quotation is an excellent example of animal imagery because Lady Macbeth emphasizes the fact that Macbeth is to act like a serpent. Serpents are one of the most common animals used for imagery. In this case, the serpent is used to symbolize the evil within Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. The theme which is best presented in this quotation is appearance and reality. Macbeth was known to be a loyal and true man who served the king. However, Lady...

...considered “scary”. The three most obvious horror elements that are easily examinable involve daily life spiraling into something terrible, suspenseful doubts, and death. It’s always unnerving whenever something horrible and uncontrollable happens, which is why this horrific element was included in “The Pale Man”. The protagonist’s humble life grows more eerie as his mysterious neighbor was moving closer and closer to him. The source of this haunting moment comes from his previous neighbor, an old woman who disappeared as soon as the pale man lived in her room, thus creating a sense of suspense and uneasiness....

...Cover Page 720219342 Honor Pledge: ____________ Ever since I was five years old I have desired to be an actor. Unlike many desires throughout life, this one actually stuck with me. That passion still runs through my veins and it shows no signs of vanishing. As I looked over the syllabus and listened in class, I came to understand the notion that we were required to see a couple of plays and then following the plays we had to write a “reflection” paper on them. While most students are not ever too elated for papers (including me most of the time), I actually looked forward to this greatly. I knew I would have to pay attention to and observe the beauties of theatre. I knew my attention would be grasped and that my observations would be broad and limitless, yet precise. My keen attentiveness to detail duplicated as I speculated the aspects of theatre, including plot, lighting, music, character interaction, audience, and many more. This past February 9th I purchased a ticket to see The Making of a King: Henry IV for that night at 7:30. A week later I purchased a ticket to see The Making of a King: Henry V for the same time. At roughly 2:00 PM on the 9th I pulled up to the Paul Green Theatre on Country Club Road. I looked at the gaping columns tower over me, which instantly reminded me of the Romans and their meticulous methods and ideals. As I walked into the building I was in shock to see the size of the building and the intricacy of the designs. This was going to be the...
