Baseball They say baseball is America’s favorite pastime, a decent, fun sport that everybody loves to play whether it is on an actual team or just playing for fun with friends. But, having watched just one Major league baseball game made me think about baseball and why people actually like it. It is the slowest sport I have ever seen and on top of that, a team might not score the whole entire game. Every year, the average time for each MLB baseball game increases each year. So, do Americans really enjoy watching this sport? This is my take on...

Introduction As a basic introduction into a conversation Baseball is quite an interesting topic. It is a bat-and-ball game consisting of two opposing teams each having nine players playing on a baseball field also known as the diamond. Each team is either the offensive team (batting team) or the defensive team (fielding team).

The job of the defensive team is to prevent the offensive team from scoring a run and this...

Act ii scene v of "Twelfth Night" is the scene in which Maria, Toby, Andrew and Fabian drop the letter that Malvolio thinks is from Olivia to him and therefore he will be humiliated in front of her. Shakespeare makes this scene dramatic in various ways. Prior to Act ii scene v the audience already dislike Malvolio. Malvolio feels able to speak down to Sir Toby who is socially superior because he is full of his own self-importance: "My masters are you mad? Or what are you? Have you no wit, manners, nor honesty, but to gabble like tinkers at...

The trees were standing proud, high above our camp, as if over-looking the whole situation, oblivious to the insecurity hanging above the English troops like a dull cloud. The light from the tents shone out, highlighting my features and glittering in my highly polished, steely armour; glinting over my face and reflecting off my eyes like the morning sun which brings with it the prospect of death under the five...

Wiesel’s Night is about what the Holocaust did, not just to the Jews, but by extension, to humanity. People all over the world were devastated by this atrocious act, and there are still people today who haven’t overcome the effects. One of the many horrible acts that stands out occurs at the end of the war, when Elie and the rest of the camp of Buna are being forced to transfer to Gleiwitz. This transfer is a long and tiring journey for all who are involved. The weather is painfully cold, and snow fell heavily. The distance they have to...
