The characters gus,richie and clark are interesting characters, all of them got bullied and they still do, The benchwarmers is a great show but i wouldn't recommend it to a five year old, it's not what happens it's just what they say . The lesson you will learn is dont bully or pick on kids at all because it can ruin their life. What happens in the movie? There's these three guys that got bullied in school. One of them wanted to play a baseball game and the other ones agreed to. When they got there one of them tried to bat but he stunk and then the only person that was good on the team tried to show him how to bat so he gave the ball to Richie.he threw the ball and it was way off. The guy couldn't pitch. He stunk. Then some teenagers showed up …show more content…
And there were three of them so the batting was no problem. Richie and clark just struck out so Gus could just hit a homerun. That was there order of stuff that happened in all of their games but one day they had a game but they were cheating they were going to put in a thirty year old and they had a fake birth certificate. It said “i am 12” in green crayon. They gave the fake birth certificate to the umpire with ten dollars in it. So he took it and said “play ball”. They were getting crushed but the guy got drunk and he could barely see. But there were bases loaded and there's three bases and only three people on the team. The ump looked in the dugout and there was richie's brother so he said he has to play of they have to forfeit. So he walked out with a sword and hid behind the catcher. So someone got him a bat and the first pitch everyone was cheering him on but the second pitch hit him right in the shoulder and he was crying. But everyone was cheering because there were bases loaded and he got to take a base so they got a free run and it was the winning run!!! So they won another game but the league wasn't
The main intention of Gus, Richie, and Clark was to help Nelson be involved in the town’s baseball program. These mid-thirties men used to be nerds when they were children, so they felt the pain of being bullied by jocks who thought they were better than others. They joined together to make a baseball team called the Benchwarmers to compete against the other children that bully Nelson and his friends. In the beginning, the Benchwarmers were not good; Gus carried the team. When they started beating every team in town, it was an example to other less athletic kids that you should not be limited by what others think of you. Everyone started cheering on the Benchwarmers. They
Humans are funny creatures. We judge and classify others and ourselves into groups. We tear apart others esteem to feel stronger. And we put limits on ourselves, whether they are thought up by our imagination or other’s. The truth is, we aren’t perfect, but we can become better, that is, if we choose to. Benchwarmers captures that thought perfectly. Though it is a comedy, and a very hilarious one at that, it provides some very true points to consider. Benchwarmers is a great movie to watch because within this side-splittingly funny movie, there are important messages such as: bullying is a double edged sword, stereotypes can be overcome, and that diversity is what makes life exciting.
The teams owner had forced the players to take a salary cut because of the declining attendance. On average they were paid between three thousand and six thousand dollars. The players involved were first baseman Chick Gandil, Eddie Cicotte, Lefty Williams, “Shoeless Joe Jackson,” Fred McMullen, Swede Risberg, Happy Felsch, and Buck Weaver. (“Bankston, Carl.

Piaget believed that a child’s development is neither intrinsic (learning based on interest) or extrinsic (learning from an outside force, such as a parent). He believed that a child develops based on his or hers interactions in the environment (Mooney 2000). Piaget created four stages of cognitive development, some of which can be seen in the film “Cheaper by the Dozen”. A few examples of characters that display Piaget’s theory are the twins, who are in the preoperational stage and lack the concept of conservatism, and the mastermind, who is in the concrete operational stage and show's the concept of decentralism. These characters will have Piaget’s theory applied to them in the following paragraphs.
“Have you ever wondered what a human life is worth? That morning, my brothers brother’s was worth a pocket watch.” (p.27)
One of the most striking parts of the novel Sugar, by Bernice L. McFadden is her choice of names, especially that of the main character, Sugar. McFadden chooses a name that was unconventional for the time period and remains unconventional today. Not only is there significance in the name Sugar, but the names Pearl and Mercy also have deeper meanings intentionally chosen by the author to further expand upon their roles as characters within the setting of the novel. Each of these three character’s names represent a persona that can be applied outside of the constraints of the novel.
Toni Morrison's novel, Beloved, allows for one to experience slavery through three generations of women. The complex development of the horrors of black chattel slavery in the United States intertwined with a story a freedom helps the reader to understand the ongoing struggle of the Afro-American population after emancipation. Denver, although never a slave, is at first held in bondage by her mother's secrecy about her past and only sets herself free when her mother is forced to cope with her memories.
I don’t understand these characters at all. Most of them are inhuman, selfish brats, and I don’t share any sort of empathy whatsoever with them.
The first character that intrigued me, probably because I could relate to him the most was Andrew, the "jock." A jock is the group of people that are athletically inclined and are usually part of a sports team. When all the students were confessing what they had done he seemed the most regretful of his actions. Andrew being a great wrestler at school saw an unsuspecting teammate that was much smaller than he was and decided to jump on him and start beating up on him. What made his case so extreme was that not only did beat up on his teammate but he taped his butt cheeks together. The perception that I, as well as the members of the breakfast club, had of Andrew was that he couldn't think for himself. He also thought the same thing because he said that he felt pressured by his dad to do something mischievous because he (his dad) used to get into mischievous acts often while he was in high school. So while he was looking at his smaller teammate he said that all he could here was his father telling him about being a winner and doing so many unnecessary things just because he was an exceptional athlete. When Andrew told his story it seemed that all the other people were going to cry because they could see that he regretted doing what he did.
In “The Red Convertible” by Louise Erdrich the two main characters Lyman and Henry are brothers that have an amazing relationship with one another. In the beginning of the story Erdrich writes about how Lyman and Henry bought a gorgeous red convertible; and together they went on plenty of road trips and bonded over the car. On the other hand, the two siblings in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” don’t have that same sibling bond. The siblings in “Everyday Use”, Maggie and Dee, are complete opposites. Dee is extremely vain, snobbish, and outspoken while Maggie is coy, insecure, and timid. Although Maggie and Dee aren’t as close as Lyman and Henry, they still have a very complex relationship in terms of being “close” to one another even though it seems as if they’re from two different planets. In the stories “Everyday Use” and “The Red Convertible”, the characters share one particular trait which is
This show was created by the same person who created Adventure time. So this means the style is very similar to adventure time. This show is mainly aimed at teens because the characters are people who they can relate to. This show has great humour to it and is very enjoyable to watch. As soon as I watch the first episode I couldn’t stop until I watched the most recent episode and right now I can’t wait till the next one comes out. The pilot episode was first released in 2009 and then the first season was released in 2012. These episodes last for about 5-10 minutes so you can binge watch them without getting into too much trouble because you have stayed up to late watch the entire series. On Common Sense Media people have rated this show to be 11+. I think that maybe it should be for kids around 12+ because of some things they say and do. In episode two there was a moon dragon riding on top of their spaceship and one of the characters called Beth was saying it was a “sassy moments”. And sometimes they would say “up yours” and then it would follow with a pixilated middle finger. Then again this show is mainly aimed at teenagers and teenage
The characters actions show how bullying is evident in primary and high schools. This can have a negative impact on the audience as it may offend certain people, for example, when Jonah quoted “I just made a comment about him being fat. He is, sir. Look at him”. The audience may believe that actions such as calling people fat is inappropriate. As parents you need to consider whether or not you think you child should be watching this show and whether you believe that the characters actions and language may influence your child.
Imagine being a girl who lost her father and her mom passed away in a world full of cruelty. Maslow is a pyramid that is a Hierarchy of needs. Gathering Blue is a book by Lois Lowry that takes place in the future. Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs can compare to each character in Gathering Blue.

Noah remains loyal to Allie even in the situation where he is unsure whether they will ever meet again or not.
