Growing up I always used to hunt and fish with my dad and grandad learning new things along the way. The older I got the more independent I became, going to high school and excelling in all sports was big for me and made me who I am today. Being dependent, in the story "A good man" the grandmother chose to travel to Florida with her family even after her cautious awareness of the misft killer escaped from prison. Following through with these actions lead to her and her family's death. Going with a gut feeling is always the best way and speaking out for what you think is right.

       When I was six years old, I played on my first baseball team. That’s when I fell in love with the sport. Until I was eighteen my life revolved around sports. While in Middle school I started playing football and basketball. From the time I was ten I played sports year-round. When one sport season ended another started for me.  I played not only for the love of the games but for the competitiveness and the happiness that winning brought me. Most athletes probably will not admit that, but I will, winning was and is important. Loosing wasn’t an option for me and because of that I never walked off a field or court without knowing I gave everything I had and did my absolute best.  That was very important to me. Playing sports, I made great, life-long friends. Being part of team taught me how to work with a group of people, being part of an organization and how to fight through adversity.  High school sports put a lot of pressure on athletes to do wel...

     I n the fictional story  ‘The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas’, t he residents of the imaginary city of Omela.   The people in Omela appear to have happy and full lives.  According to the narrator, they are not simple folk, but they are happy.  Although the narrator admits to not knowing everything there is to know about Omelas' laws and rules, they believe there are only a few. Basically, the Author describes a place that is perfect, maybe to perfect.  After describing how wonderful everything is  the narrator mentions one final detail: "in a basement under one of the ‘beautiful public buildings’ of the city, or perhaps in a cellar somewhere in a private house, there is a child of nearly ten years old, though they look around six years old, so malnourished and stunted are they."  The child is confined to a single chamber, where they are forced to live in their own filth. The child is occasionally given just enough food to keep ...

                                                                            Post 2: How Literature is relevant to my future . After I graduate with a physical education degree my hope is to become a high school coach and high school teacher. Although I don't plan on teaching Literature it's always a possibility. Literature definitely has its benefits in anyone's future, as reading is the best exercise for the brain. I think that literature is relevant to my future in many ways. Literature can help someone to understand the world we live in and the people around us, different religions or races. Literature teaches students about life, different cultures and can help them better their writing skills. Hopefully I will be able to teach the younger generations things I've learned in this cla...
