Chance To Play Eighth Grade
720 wordsI cannot really tell you why I did not start earlier, Indiana being a huge basketball state and all. I mean, the movie Hoosiers was based on Indiana basketball and the importance it holds on the small, tight knit communities within the state.

I began to yearn to play on a real team, and soon I would have my chance. It was th...

Sense Of Justice One Night
718 wordsWhen I first read "The Necklace" I hated it, and hated the author for writing such a mean little story. I was surprised that my ninth grade classmates liked it. When I reread the story in English 113, I again disliked it, and was again surprised that anyone could like such a story. Unlike the first time I read it, this time I thought about why I so disliked Maupassant's story. The reason is the storys implicit philosophical message.

Sense Data Space Time
1,315 wordsOne night I saw a TV program, Einstein's Universe. I turned it on because it was narrated by Peter Ustinov, whom I admire, even though I'm tired of Einstein's universe. The program was well done. A great effort was made to make a clear and convincing dramatization of the universe according to Einstein; just enough mystique to sugar the dull sterility of science. What bothered me most was the subservient role of Peter Ustinov playing an average man who didn't know science, feeling privileged to b...
