The Final Whistle As the final whistle blew and the last of the crowd was leaving, me and my teammates cringed as we glanced up to see the final score. The other team celebrated with their friends and family as we went too our coach to get yelled at once again. This was the last game of the season and we finished winning a total of zero games, probably the worst record in E.L Wright middle school history. After listening to the last speech of the season from our head coach all of the players grabbed

Hail Mary full of Grace the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death, Amen.' Then he added. Blessed Virgin, pray for the death of this fish, wonderful as he is
several times each night as hundreds converged on the shrine. I myself went to once such gathering late at night at Mountcollins to see what was going on. The crowd chanted the Rosary over and over with their eyes glued to the statue of the Virgin Mary that was standing up in an alcove of a fake grotto similar to hundreds all over Ireland. It was dark and the statue had a spotlight on it. Behind the faithful, there was a wood with the main road beyond. The Rosary recitals gradually gave way to "Mother

Instant Replay in The NFL As Jerome Bettis walks toward the center of the field on Thanksgiving Day of 1998, he has no idea what is about to happen. This event will be the subject of controversy for days to follow. Bettis and his Pittsburgh Steelers have just finished regulation play against the Detroit Lions and are ready for the coin toss, which will precede the overtime period. Referee Phil Luckett tosses the coin up in the air as Bettis calls "Tails." The coin lands with tails up. The
were angels that did not keep their first estate of holiness. This infers that the angels must have been holy to have fallen. (Jude 1:6) The term “elect” in First Timothy Chapter 5 verse 21 implies a probationary period. The angels who did not pass probation are called fallen angels. They stand in opposition to God’s work and plan. The holy angels kept their first estate by walking in perfect obedience to God’s will. For whoever is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words in this adulterous
Throughout this vast country we as Americans are entertained by many different things, including movies, music, and sports. Although, there are many ways for me to be entertained, I prefer the enjoyment of sports. As a youngster I enjoyed playing backyard games. We rounded up neighborhood kids and played for fun. We played either football or basketball every weekend. These two sports are the favorites of those who play them around the world. While these sports are alike in many ways, they are very
form of guidance from the Black Mary. The grieving family turned to Mary after May’s death, and even Lily found herself in the room housing the statue more often than usual. The Black Mary is starting to become Lily’s guiding force; she even calls it “mother.” Lily asks for Mary’s help in order to be happy again. This help, of which the others are in need as well, allows the community to thrive, even with the loss of one member. Through rituals and prayers the Black Mary helps the Boatwrights and Lily
Volume 1 : Inferno Cantos I - XI Canto I Halfway through his life, DANTE THE PILGRIM wakes to find himself lost in the dark wood. Terrified at being alone in so dismal a valley, he wanders until he comes to a hill bathed in sunlight, and his fear begins to leave him. But when he starts to climb the hill his path is blocked by three fierce beasts: first a LEOPARD, then a LION, and finally a SHE-WOLF. They fill him with fear and drive him back down to the sunless wood. At that moment the figure of
As the most popular sport, football takes an important part of ordinary Americans. Football is always attracting the attention of many people, whether it is a professional league or university matches. Tucson is also attracted to football. The Arizona Wildcats football team belongs to the University of Arizona in Tucson. This team created many awards since they were built. I heard that they joined the Pacific-12 Conference in 1978. What’s more, the Wildcats has made a great contribution to the development
the myth of the Virgin Mary "sanctions a deep psychological and institutional split" (59) among women in the Catholic tradition, she captures what Kate Chopin also captured in her story "Lilacs." There, sisterhood between secular and religious women appears fragmented and nearly impossible. To scrutinize the division, Kate Chopin fashions her story around the portion of the Virgin Mary myth told in St. Luke's gospel of the Annunciation of the birth of Jesus spoken to Mary by the archangel Gabriel
The religious site that I chose for my course assignment is the Church of Saint Raymond, a historical landmark. One could say that it definitely stands out boldly in the neighborhood that its located in which is the Castle Hill/ Parkchester proper in the Bronx. Growing up I frequently visited the church and was always astounded by its massive size and incredible architecture. Compared to the dimly lit parish of Santa Maria, which always smelled like wet wood (and still does), it always seemed unreal

“I am malicious because I am miserable.” (P.124) Nature vs Nurture is prevailed all throughout Mary Shelley’s book, Frankenstein. Shelley created the creature as if he was a newborn baby and his personality was shaped by the events that had happened in his life. The creature's environment, good or bad, impacted his personality as well as the lack of love, and a combination of isolation and hatred, led the creature to turn towards a path of destruction.

The use of military jargon, as it maybe unknown to the civilian also known as the non-military individual, actually aides in the bonding of service members, as the jargon and slang differ from each branch. Military, for all intensive purposes, throughout this essay, is referring to armed forces. Have you ever wondered why the people in military speak differently? Have you ever considered why many military members speak the way they do? As each branch of the armed forces has its own unique language
It is believed, in the beginning humans actually had a form of language where they were able to pass down stories or knowledge from generation to generation. In fact, one of the earliest forms of storytelling had little to no words to describe what exactly one was trying to say. In our society today, we as humans still use the form of being able to tell a story within a painting or any work of art which does not incorporate words. Knowing this must lead many to ponder with the question: “Is it true
It is said that history is shaped by the lives of great men. Great men are leaders. They bring about change; they improve the lives of others; they introduce new ideas, models, and theories to society. Most of the world's religions were founded, developed, or discovered by great men. Two particular religions - Christianity and Buddhism - developed in different parts of the world, under different circumstances, and in different social atmospheres. But each religion is based upon the teachings

time of England. The annual holiday party thrown by the Morkan Sisters is described as “a great affair” that “never once had…fallen flat.” (Joyce 175). There is always music, dancing, and a grand feast, and each year the attendees include pupils from Mary Jane Morkan’s class, friends, family, and chorale members. The party appears to take place in the same fashion each year. This illuminates the notion that the Irish paralysis was a result of their habit of repeating the past without any thought to
