...Generation Views Around the world what sport do you think has become the most popular over the years? If you guessed racket ball then you’re probably wrong. It’s Called” The Beautiful Game “, and yes its soccer. They call it the beautiful game because of how one is able to manipulate the ball and make it do whatever they want it to. My dad taught me this meaning one day when we he was training me around the age of 8, and told me that if I kept working hard and stayed committed I would soon understand what he meant. From his generation to mine, soccer has increasingly become a much harder sport and because of that its popularity has increased heavily over the years. Why? Because the level of intensity soccer is played in today’s game, the merchandise big brands are producing, and the one and only World Cup. If you were to attend a professional soccer game without ever playing I’m sure it would change your perspective on the sport for certain. It’s not as easy as it looks on TV, believe me. Modern day soccer is so intense it’s almost insane. If you don’t know what I’m talking about go out and look for some team you could randomly join and play a whole game. Bet most of you wouldn’t last. It’s not just some sport you can just join in now to pass time. It’s either give it your all or go and play another sport because soccer is that serious now. Everyone at the high level is fast, strong, smart, and determined to take the ball from you. It’s nonstop running for...

...A Story of Love and Courage Love is a very powerful emotion. It provides people with courage and causes them to act bravely. To have someone to love, and therefore someone to act bravely for, makes one capable of more than expected. Love leads to bravery and can get people through terrible times. In the movie Life is Beautiful, director Roberto Benigni shows the quality of bravery through the experiences of the main characters as they attempt to survive a concentration camp during World War II. When Guido Orefice, an Italian Jew, arrives in Arezzo, he meets Dora, who comes from a wealthy Italian family. Even though she is engaged, she falls in love with Guido, and they marry and have a son, Giosue. At Giosue’s fifth birthday, Guido and Giosue are taken by Nazis to a concentration camp, and Dora insists on voluntarily going with them. At the camp, Guido convinces Giosue that everything is just a game, and he will earn points towards winning a tank. Unfortunately, when Guido goes looking for Dora, he is caught and shot to death by a Nazi soldier, but Giosue and Dora survive. Love is a powerful emotion which leads to acts of bravery, that people perform, even when they are scared. This is shown by Dora’s love for Guido and Giosue, by Guido’s love for Giosue, and by Guido’s love for Dora. Undoubtedly, Dora loves her husband and her son with all her heart; she shows courage when she runs away with Guido, and later again when she volunteers to join Guido and Giosue at the concentration...

...Eggerts’s pieces have the ability to pull me in, but this one in particular hits near and dear to home for me. This piece just absolutely captivates me. Virginia has been drawing and painting since she was just a child. She studied and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Art from the University of Montana in Missoula where after she took a teaching position and continued to paint in Eskimo and Aleut villages in Alaska. It was in Alaska that she took a watercolor workshop from the internationally known artist, teacher, and author Zoltan Szabo. Virginia went on to earn a Master’s Degree and Ph.D. at the University of Arizona in Tucson. She has works in private, public and corporate collections worldwide. Virginia has also won juried awards in visual art and in video production. Virginia now resides in Port Isabel and many of her “local” pieces can be found at the Art Gallery in the lighthouse square. “Sunrise on the Beach” with out a doubt shows an outdoor setting with images in relation to a beautiful sunrise walk on the beach. The imagery used is from a personal perspective of an actual sunrise on the beautiful South Padre Island. A person, water, sand, a seagull, waves, clouds, and the vivid colors of the sunrise are all imagery that brings this painting to life and making the painting realistic. Being a surfer and enjoying sunrise surfing on South Padre Island, this painting brings a calming, peaceful, and happy feeling to me. I also think that the images are vague...

...just passing out on the couch. The next morning, my ex was like “…” and I was like “…” and we both were like “YOLO.” 3. Anytime I eat after 4 a.m., it’s predicated upon the excuse of “YOLO.” There should be a sandwich at the deli just named “YOLO.” “I’ll take the YOLO to go and, no, I prefer not to talk about it.” 4. Last month, I stayed up till 6 a.m. with a beautiful boy I just met. He was so gorgeous but so, so dumb. I don’t ordinarily do things like that. I don’t just go home with beautiful boys and stay up till 6 a.m. I am a lady, dammit! But, I swear it was the YOLO taking over me. Okay, and maybe like a little bit of the MDMA I ingested earlier in the evening, if you want to be honest, WHICH I DON’T. That night, as he was bringing me to climax, I wanted to scream “YOLO YOLO YOOOOOOO-LOOOOOOOOO!” but I didn’t. Missed opportunity, for sure. 5. Ordering delivery three times in one day. #YOLO. 6. Crying in a dressing room because you went up a size. #YOLO. 7. I quit my job six months ago because I hated it and the florescent lighting was hurting my eyes. I thought that by quitting, it would motivate me to finally follow my dreams or whatever, but so far it’s just been a giant, broke nightmare. I think this was a case of #YOLO gone horribly wrong. 8. “I’ll take the large...

...be covered. I listen, but I'm not sure even she believes everything she says. My name is Suri Songhai, and I live in Hawaii, the year is 1922. I came to Hawaii because my family enlisted a nakodo’s (go-between) on my behalf in my homeland of Korea, to find me a husband to take care of me. Many Korean men have been leaving our poor area outside of Okinawa to find more lucrative work. There have been quite a few who leave with the intent of working in Hawaii and building a beautiful home and having a family. There were many stories at the time of how well Korean mother's sons were doing in Hawaii, many pictures of homes, properties, beautiful beaches, gardens and animals. Additionally, a monthly check is sent from the sons to support their families back home in Korea. Many hundreds of young men have left Korea to work in the sugar cane fields in Hawaii. Families never know of the hardship their son's suffer, as the son's would never say; it would do no good to have their families worried or afraid for them. So they put on a happy face for all of the pictures, and sent as much money as they can without starving. Mothers of daughters saw these things and wanted their daughters to marry these successful men and live the beautiful life they saw in pictures. So they hired nakodo's to find suitable partners for their daughters, and would send our pictures to Hawaii, and so we were called "picture brides". My nakodo's name was Daka, and he never, ever smiled, even when my baby brother...

Despite his apparent condition a beautiful woman falls in love and marries John Nash because she can see him for who he really is. His wife sees his brilliant mind through the odd propensities.

...1. The title of the movie is A Beautiful Mind and the year of the movie is 2001. I viewed the movie multiple times in the past two years due to the fact that I enjoy the movie and watching the character Nash presents. I think I also chose this movie because paranoid schizophrenia is in my family, causing me to somewhat understand the movie better than others. I feel that having the sickness in my family has allowed me to look for the symptoms unlike other families. My uncle is diagnosed with this sickness, and it does affect people differently especially when comparing the actions of Nash and my uncle. The character in A Beautiful Mind, is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. 2. Schizophrenia, being the mental illness in this movie, was specifically discussed in the movie because Nash was diagnosed with the disease. In the movie, we see...

...Why are there so many clichés in football? Every football fan would probably say that they're fluent in the "language of football". From the pragmatics of it, knowing that, in a footballing context, a brace is neither a device fitted to something to provide support or a pair of straps that pass over the shoulders and fasten to the top of trousers at the front and back to hold them up, to knowing the names of all the high potential, young gems that you've ever found on all the popular football management games you've ever played, football is a very broad and hard language to learn. One of the staples of the football language is the cliché. A phrase that is do overused that it loses its original impact, they're are hundreds of these phrases that are usually peppered in the post match interviews of players and managers and the commentaries of former players as former managers. A big question of those who are not fluent in the language of football is "what do all these clichés mean?" and "why are they used so often?" Some clichés are blatantly obvious, for example "A game of two halves" describes the structure of a football match perfectly, it has two sections of 45 minutes each (both sections are equal therefore they are "halves"). The cliché isn't meant to be a description of the structure of a game though, because a match can really have two juxtaposing halves, therefore a usage for the cliché. A great example of this is the 2005 Champions League final between AC Milan and...

...“A Beautiful Mind” Questions Cameron Crowe 4th period 1) He is very anti-social, he displays behavior that deviates much from the norm in terms of sociality when he does socialize, and he refuses to accept defeat in any form. 2) He is a professor at MIT and he also is a code-breaker. A part of his disorder is hallucinations and he imagines that this “big brother” person tasks him with finding foreign messages in periodicals which furthers his disorder. 3) His schizophrenia begins when he believes he has a roommate which actually does not exist. We realize that John Nash is schizophrenic when his wife begins to discuss with an acquaintance of John’s about his hallucinations. 4) He has to learn to live with the hallucinations and ignore them, even though this proves to be very difficult for him at times. 5) The Russians 6) Nash and Charles get along very well. Charles is John’s imaginary friend. 7) There could be a correlation, but this does not mean that one variable causes the other. I personally think that schizophrenia could occur in anyone, regardless of intelligence. 8) Nash creates people within his mind unknowingly and incorporates them into his everyday life. For example, Charles is his imaginary roommate and “Big Brother” is John’s imaginary boss who facilitates John's fake code-breaking occupation. 9) John makes the students close the window in his classroom because the construction is too loud, but then his future wife goes to open the window...

...In Italy, the population is 58 million. More of these people live in the North of Italy. I believe that this is because the industry growth has been very rapid. It is now the 7th richest nation and the industry triangle is the wealthiest region out of the whole country. The industry triangle has become so rich because goods are able to be exported and sold in Germany, France and Great Britain as it is located near. However, the South of Italy is a very poor country. Standard of living must be pretty tough as people live on hilltop town’s rustic areas. The South is not developing as a country and has a little industry so therefore; it will not attract many people. Many people from the South migrate to the North or to other European countries. In the rest of my assessment I will tell you differences and similarities about the north and south of Italy. The climate in Italy has a big range, from the north to south, and highland to mountain tops. Some days in the north when its winter it can be snowing and -2’C and some occasional rain. The middle region is slightly hotter reaching 12’C and the South is even hotter up to a temperature of 18’C. So therefore, the range is 20’C which is three completely different ways of living. In summer it is quite the opposite, it is not such of a great change of temperature between north and the south of Italy. The North has a high humidity yet some rainy days. This hot weather is coming from Africa and the hot dry wind travels...

...At the start of ‘to his coy mistress’ the poet describes how the voice would love his mistress if he had all the time in the world. This is represented in the first line which says ‘had we but world enough, and time,’ This immediately gives the reader a sense of urgency as it creates the image of time being limited and constricted. The use of the word ‘if’ suggests that time is imperative in order to be able for love to reach it’s full potential and that there is an absence of time so it is impossible to patiently enjoy love without rushing it. Alternatively, the language used in the first stanza could be seen as making a mockery of the idea of taking love slowly as it is referred to as ‘vegetable love’ that grows slower than empires. This guides the reader to view the idea of a love that is drawn out as boring and undesirable. This is emphasised towards the end of the poem when the voice describes the love that he wishes for with similes like ‘instant fire.’ This creates a contrast to the idea of a ‘vegetable love’ and makes the voice’s idea of a love sound much more favourable. Therefore, one of the ways that the poet presents ideas of time is that it is necessary for love to be savoured but at the same time it makes love boring. Another way that the poet presents ideas of time is in the first paragraph. This is because the voice says ‘but at my back I always hear, time’s winged chariot hurrying near.’ This creates the idea of time being powerful and ruling over love because...
