Recommended: Influence of superstition

In the future, there is a man named SOH-CAH-TOA. SOH-CAH-TOA is pretty tall, has black hair, hazel eyes, and is 30 years old. He wears a red shirt and jeans most of the time because clothes are expensive in the future and only rich people have a wide variety of clothes to choose from. He has a funny personality and loves to crack jokes. He is pretty skinny because he loves to take jogs.
In the future everyone starts to play air hockey. It becomes so popular, that they let only the richest people who can pay millions of dollars for an air hockey table to have it. Now if someone loses a game in the sacred air hockey tournament will be killed, hence the word “sacred”. There were attempts to overthrow the government and get back air hockey, but none of them worked.
The future is also very dull as the government controls everything. The mountain near where SOH-CAH-TOA lives hangs over the town. The streets seem deserted as the world has gotten very warm from global warming and no person goes outside unless they need to. Also, most of them don’t own a car because they cost too much for ordinary people.
SOH-CAH-TOA signs up for the tournament to get 500 gallons of water for his family because water is scarce in the future. Many people sign up but he is picked as one of the people to play in the tournament. SOH-CAH-TOA knows he would have to take the chance of dying to get 500 gallons of water for his family. Now he must face 7 other people in a tournament. He secretly made his own air hockey table and was training because he knew that this could happen to him. SOH-CAH-TOA was ready to win at all costs!
SOH-CAH-TOA’s first opponent was older than him. He would play him in the quarter finals. He was 60 while SOH-CAH-TOA was 30. This made...

...ernment did not give each citizen 500 gallons of water every year and a air hockey table that instant in front of them on the city security cameras, the sacred air hockey table would get smashed by him and a huge revolution would start.
The government had no choice but to cave in to JOHN-A-TEE’s orders to save their sacred air hockey table. This stopped the sacred air hockey tournaments forever because no person needed it. SOH-CAH-TOA and JOHN-A-TEE became great friends as they together stopped the government’s tyranny using the sacred air hockey games together. The tyrant leader and his family were all assassinated by people fighting for freedom. JOHN-A-TEE was voted president and SOH-CAH-TOA the vice president of the newly democratic nation called Aihock. Life was peaceful through the nation and people got as much water and air hockey playing time as they wanted.

    Tradition is huge in small towns and families and allows for unity through shared values, stories, and goals from one generation to the next. Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” carries that theme of tradition. The story follows a small town that performs the tradition of holding an annual lottery in which the winner gets stoned to death. It (tradition) is valued amongst human societies around the world, but the refusal of the villagers in “The Lottery” to let go of a terrifying long-lasting tradition suggests the negative consequences of blindly following these traditions such as violence and hypocrisy.

  • Fahrenheit 451 and Cautions for Society

    864 Words  | 2 Pages

    Much of what the future holds are consequences of the events that have already taken place. Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 is a story about a lifestyle in the future that has evolved from our present, but in a seemingly different world. There is no flow of ideas, and the main purpose in a person's life in those days was to relax, not think, and be happy. Despite the seemingly unreality of the world in the future, the author is using it as a cautionary tale of what may become of our society. Bradbury stresses his views on how best to keep our society's system of government checks and balances, technological advances, and its fluidity of ideas.

  • The Pains of Anarchy in Lord of the Flies by William Golding

    Earlier this year, I became the government. Everyday, for the next few days, I woke up before the sun rose and filled my hotel room with light. In business professional attire, I would walk down the halls of the California State Capitol and into the Assembly Chambers. I experienced firsthand how the administration of our society works. There came a day, a cloudy day with rain falling momentarily, in which a protest was gathered in the streets. A man spoke, asking for the government to remove its mask. I failed to understand. What did this man want? Deep in my gut, I knew a life of terror, a life a darkness, and a life of despair could only be the outcome of the absence of government. This ideal is explained by the classic novel, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, which explores the universal theme that civilization is significant, regarding its role in securing that man does not return to his primitive nature of savagery.

  • European History - Was the French Revolution Preventable?

    1091 Words  | 3 Pages

    Economically, many changes could have been made in the way that would have prevented such anger arising from the people. However, there are also a few problems that could not have been avoided. Economic decline in the 1770s may have frustrated some bourgeois in their rise to power and wealth, and rising bread prices just before the Revolution certainly increased dissatisfaction among workers and peasants. France also suffered from harsh economic problems. Poor farm harvests by farmers hurt the economy, and trade rules from the Middle Ages still survived, making trade difficult. At this time, the gap between the rich and the poor was becoming greater, with the poor becoming poorer, and the rich becoming richer. A central bank was nowhere to be found, there was no paper currency and in general, taxes were becoming greater for the peasants. In this economically challenged society what could have been done to change all of these economic problems from the beginning?

  • Field Hockey Essay

    1817 Words  | 4 Pages

    “First appearing in England in the 14th century, King Edward lll issued a decree outlawing the practice of field hockey”(Wpadminskhdev). King Edward lll referred to the sport as an idle game and banned it from being played. He issued in the proclamation “Moreover we ordain that you prohibit under penalty of imprisonment all and sundry from such stone, wood and iron throwing; handball, football, or hockey; coursing and cock- fighting, or other such idle games”(Editors). Although King Edward lll did not encourage field hockey, the game made it all the way to our generation today. “Field hockey developed in the British Isles in the late 19th century by public schools along with the help of Middlesex cricket clubs in London”(Wpadminskhdev ). The origins of field hockey can be discovered in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Persia. “In England, professional men teams were formed, but later after, several women’s colleges formed the first Women’s field hockey team in the United States”(Mifflin).
