Unable To Play Dropped Through The Net Ball

While standing at the three-point line, the ball
seemed to be in slow motion. Screams from the
crowd came as the ball dropped through the net.

through the net with such force that it made a
sound that was heard throughout the gym. The place

just hit my first three pointer of my varsity

sweat dripped from my face. My opponent was close
enough that I cou...

United States Government Atomic Bomb
263 words
Was it really fair to take peoples rights away
from them, throw them into camps that were not
adequate, and not give them their rights? To top
it all off it was unconstitutional. Well lets look
at it from a standpoint of The United States
National Government. It was a possible security
risk of having Japanese and Japanese Americans in
the United States at that time. The Americans
didnt know if what happen to Pearl Harbor could
happen to any where else in the U. S. at that
time. If you look at wh...

Mise En Scene Present Day
660 words
Although the average viewer is rarely conscious of
it, mise-en-scene is both a powerful and important
cinematic technique in film. Mise-en-scene allows
the director to guide the viewer s attention to
what they should be looking at so that important
details are not missed and trivial details are not
focused on. Many effective elements of
mise-en-scene are illustrated in the white room
scene in The Matrix, in which directors Andy and
Larry Wachowski use only minimal setting, costume,
and staging i...

Chinese Exclusion Act Standard Of Living
1,214 words
What caused our country to choose racism over
open-mindedness, to choose exclusion over
inclusion? Why could we not accept the Chinese
immigrant in a country of foreigners? Could it
have been jealousy? The thought of someone being
better than the American people was something that
was unacceptable so in turn we passed laws
forbidding those of another race entry into our
country. I suppose when the national anthem states
the land of the free it wasnt pertaining to the
Chinese. There were two main...

Oil Crisis Stock Market
327 words
Recently, the stock market has been very unstable.
After a period of extremely good business and
market highs, it seems we are experiencing just
the opposite. The market has become increasingly
unsure and risky, even with well known companies.
I believe the shift in the stock market is based
partly with the oil crisis caused by OPEC and
partly with constant bad reports presented by
companies. Maybe if assessment firms gave good
reports more often than bad ones, the market would
go up. The market...

Rimbaud Poetry Life

Part II A man so confused and confusing as Arthur
Rimbaud, it is a wonder that he can even be
analyzed, critiqued, and judged by his literary

how accurate can they be, when even Rimbaud said
in his Lettre Du Voyant that for the I is someone

the role of sex education in the school is of

Life Without Parole Capital Punishment
1,139 words
Capital Punishment It is by exacting the highest
penalty for the taking of human life (Edward
Koch). As a supporter of the death penalty, I
believe that capital punishment is a good thing
for each state and its citizens. It is a very big
issue. Putting people to death was a form of
punishment that many states have practiced in past
years. The United States today, capital punishment
has been practiced, abolished, then reinstated. I
believe capital punishment is necessary and not an
option. Our so...
