Ancient Greece Olympic Games
1,179 words
No one can say when sports began. Since it is
difficult to imagine a time when children did not
spontaneously run races or wrestle, it is clear
that children have always included sports in their
play, but one can only speculate about the
emergence of sports as auto telic physical

concern with quantification and records, but
others see ancient and modern sport as part of a
continuum, an enduring heritag...

1,853 words
During the 19 th century there was a rapid growth
of American cities due to immigration and
migration from rural areas. This rise in the
population created enormous problems for city
governments, which were often unable to provide
for the people and lacked any type of structure.
In these conditions we begin to see the emergence
of political machines, such as Tammany Hall in New
York City. These groups were able to build a loyal
voter following, especially among immigrant
groups, by performing su...

very high positions in society, but were not
considered divine. Therefore their sculptures are
the mixture of strict canonical representation
used for kings and the more realistic approach
usually applied to the depiction of the
lower-class people. The statues' attitudes are
still very hierarchic and the positions are stiff
and proper for the high-class nobles, but there is

the film s ending, questioning whether the story
has come to a complete conclusion or if the
narrative has paused for a while, leaving room for
a sequel. I plan to examine the parting sentence
