    “It had doughy, unhealthy skin and red hair that stuck up in bristles. It seemed never to have been in the sun, and its hands were twisted like claws above the straps that held it down.” “Its tongue protruded from its mouth and drooled saliva down its chin.” -Nancy Farmer The House of the Scorpion (Chapter 12 pg.112). Macgregor’s clone is a textbook example of what clones are in Opium and why they are regarded as animals. Matteo Alacrán is more than just a drooling mess of a clone. He’s a human being, which means he has qualities that define him just like any other person.

  • Persuasive Essay On Lacrosse Vs Football

    568 Words  | 2 Pages

    The MLL stands for Major League Lacrosse. It’s what follows after college, same as the NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. The difference between the MLL and those big professional sports is that MLL players average salary is between $10,000 and $30,000 (Forbes). The other salaries all are over one million dollars for the average (Forbes/Wikipeida). People of course will be more familiar with basketball, baseball, or football. Lacrosse though, should be praised as much as those sports. That’s because MLL players don’t practice as much as the other sports but still compete at a very high skill level, the players have a burning passion for the sport, and the players have to be able to create chemistry with their players in one practice.

  • Aboriginal Athletes Essay

    4534 Words  | 10 Pages

    Terrence and Jordin Tootoo grew up in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, in Canada’s arctic region. They were like other Inuit children in Rankin Inlet in many respects: They were brought up to respect the customs of their people and they enjoyed the resources the land around them provided- they learned to hunt and fish for food like the others. However, the brothers were also different from their peers in one main respect- they were blessed with a love for the game of hockey, and also with extraordinary amounts of talent which would enable them to leave their native community to pursue the dream of professional hockey. While the brothers were growing up they were inseparable; however, after leaving Rankin Inlet to pursue the professional game their respective careers took strikingly different paths. Jordin’s journey took him to the top- he was drafted into the National Hockey League and signed a lucrative contract with the Nashville Predators. However, Terrence’s road to the professional ranks was filled with hardship and tragedy, ultimately resulting in his suicide in August of 2002. The contrasting paths taken by the brothers is an illustration of how professional sporting careers can have varying impacts on the lives of Native American and Canadian athletes and their communities. In the following few paragraphs I will outline the history of Native Americans and Canadians in sports. I will examine how successful Native athletes are able to help their communities, both financially and by serving as role models for younger Natives. Also, I will argue that their still exist barriers and challenges to Native athletes that do not confront other athletes. For example, Native athletes are often placed under increased scrutiny because of their positions as role models. I will conclude by commenting on how Native athletes fit into pro sports today, and speculate on what can be done to increase the amount of success enjoyed by Natives.

    As more of my teammates began to show up, I recognized most of them. However, I learned later that if I went on to play in the Spring, this would not be the same exact team I would play with. With only twenty minutes until we began,I put on all of my gear and my dad gave me a thorough warm up. Time seemed to fly by, and before I knew it, everyone was gathered together as positions were being assigned. I was originally overwhelmed with excitement, but as the game drew closer, the joy I had felt was replaced with anxiety. The lacrosse game taking place before ours ended and we entered and took our place on our bench. I recognized the opposing team’s jerseys quickly and identified them as a travel team from our area. Taking one final breath, I rushed into the lacrosse net enjoying my bird’s eye view, unsure of what was to

  • Steve Jobs: Apple Inc.

    1139 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Macintosh (Mac) computer constitutes Apple’s strategic business unit (SBU) in the PC industry. This SBU operates at a cost disadvantage, since it costs more to produce than other PCs, who all use similar or the same components (WS16). It has few opportunities for growth at a reasonable cost (WS16). Additionally, the market is not growing, conversely, it is in a decline (WS16). Apple had a 10.7% share of the PC market in 2011 (Exhibit 3). Total Mac unit sales, from 2010 to 2011, saw a 22% growth, which was significant less than the growth of iPads and iPhones (Exhibit 2). Based on this assessment, Apple should consider focusing on a specialized segment of this market, that they believe they will be able to dominate (WS16). Alternatively, they could harvest, divest, or abandon the SBU (WS16). Of the SBUs that Apple is diversified into, the Mac has the least amount of synergy (WS18). The supplies and components are different than the other SBUs, therefore they are unable to benefit from a reduction in costs (WS18). Additionally, the technology is not transferrable to the other SBUs (WS18). The Mac is not in an attractive industry, however, it does have moderate competitive strength compared to that of rivals (WS17). This business unit is an ideal candidate for divestiture, as it is not in a strong enough competitive position to counteract the unattractive industry (Thompson, Peteraf, Gamble, & Strickland, 2014).

    We learned a lot of things in this course, but I think the most important lesson I learned is that it’s not easy to be an entrepreneur. I was surprised to hear in the first class that 80% of startups fail, but after reading The Art of Start and E-myth Revisited I understood why this happens more often than one might expects. Some people start their own businesses for the wrong reason and some start with wrong mindset. I’ve always thought that if someone has a brilliant business idea and hardworking they will succeed and grow their business. However, now I know that there are many things to consider before starting any business. In fact, there are many strategies that an entrepreneur could follow to achieve success, such as know your customers, work “on” the business, and how
