America Shouldn T

and within the game of baseball is that they
criticize the game, themselves, and their
techniques. One of the biggest critics of the game
is the players themselves. The players say that
they are in a slump when they go 0 for 20. They
say things like, ? I? m stinking it up, ? and just
keep continuing in a self-flagellation filled with
expletives. Yet they forget to realize that the
season is 162 games long and what is a measly 0
for 20 going to d...

In Hemingway Symbols 038; Style In the past,
hardly anyone ever suspected Hemingway novels of
symbolism. Then, in The Old Man and the Sea,
people saw symbols the old man stood for mans
dignity, the big fish embodied nature, the sharks
symbolized evil (or maybe just the critics). No
good book has ever been written that has in it
symbols arrived at beforehand and stuck in, says
Hemingway. That kind of symbol sticks out like
