Compare and contrast: They were two completely different players. One a keeper, and the other a striker. But in this moment they both had one goal, to defeat the other.

Sending it to the top left corner, the keeper dives and deflects the ball above the crossbar.
Cause and effect: Lately Billy has been working full time, and going to school. He works at the lumber mill making furniture. It’s hard work, but Billy needs the job to support his mother and sister.

    When you compare The Hunt of the Unicorn and Tar Beach you will see many similarities that are visible to the eye without doing any research. The first of which is the dark backgrounds. They both have lighter colors in them that make the picture stand out, but a majority of the colors are dark. They are calm and flow well there is not a lot happening in each piece of art. In each there is one piece that is a little active. In the Hunt of the Unicorn, the unicorn is in motion, and in Tar Beach the girl is flying across the bridge.…

    Both Sonja Tanner’s “On Plato’s Cave” and Margaret Atwood’s “The Writer’s Responsibility” focus on the juxtaposition between the real and the imagined; A, however, suggests that it is, in fact, society’s ignorance and willingness to ignore the relationship between the real and the imagined that leads to the writer’s responsibility to make the relationship clear, while T highlights that the relationship is strained and obscured and that the responsibility is on the individual to forge the connections between the real and the imagined.…

    The baker in “A Small Good Thing” by Raymond Carver caught my attention from the beginning of the story. He was abrupt with Ann, but it felt like there were reasons that would be explained soon why he was this way. The initial impression I got from him wasn’t likeable but as I got further into the story, there was a spark of compassion in this man that I could relate to. The bakers harassing tendencies and social isolation as a person are not traits I exhibit, where as his strong sense of compassion and emotion is where I can relate more to.…

    When comparing and contrasting the poem “What It's Like to Be a Black Girl” by Patricia Smith with the short story “Country Lovers” By Nadine Gordimer. The character in “What It's Like to Be a Black Girl” is based more upon recent time while “Country Lovers” is based in a older time frame. However, both stories are uniquely about wanting to be loved. The poem and the short story are both great examples of the difficulty of life between two different ethnic backgrounds. While one concentrates more on tragedy the other is faced more with acceptance that leads to tragedy. Love although can't be explained, has many explanations to how one can love. Whether your love goes as deep as loving through tragic times or looking for someone to love you at all times. Both of these stories focus on issues of racism, inner struggles, slavery, prejudice, and the pursuit of freedom as well as equality. At the end, everyone wants and needs to be accepted and will do whatever it takes.…

    Although summer and winter both occur when the Earth is titled toward the sun, there are very different seasons. The first and most obvious difference between summer and winter is the weather. During the summertime the days are warm and sunny. Temperatures range from 70° and above with a slight breeze, making it enjoyable to be outside. Toward the end of summer people tend to worry about hurricanes and tornadoes. On the other hand, winter days are cold and dark. There is a constant freezing chill making temperatures drop below zero. Normally there are worries about serious snow storms and blizzards. Another noticeable difference between summer and winter consist of the types of activities people participate in during the two seasons. Summer activities tend to involve being outdoors. For example people enjoy trips to the beach, family cookouts, swimming and even long walks. The sounds of kids riding their bikes and fireworks crackling can be heard throughout the days. However, in the winter people occasionally enjoy outdoors activities like sledding, ice skating and snowboarding. Generally during the winter though, people spend most of their time participating in indoor activities like watching movies, readings books, and baking sweets. For the reason that climates are drastically different during the summer and winter, these is also a huge difference in the way a person is dressed. During the summer people dress lightly, wearing simple t-shirts, shorts, flip-flops, and bathing suits. Hats are typically worn to keep the sun out of people's faces. Since the temperatures are high there is no need for any extra clothing or layering. Unlike while in the winter time multiple layers are worn to keep warm. People dress in heavy sweaters, long pants, thick coats, and boots. Hats are also worn during the winter, but not to block the sun but instead to keep the heat in. Last but…

    Everyday, stereotype is used in the society. Sometimes, when people use stereotype on other people, they don’t even recognize it because it’s so common and is ignored by the society. It’s a way to judge people through their common believes based on ethnicity, gender, skin color, appearance and language of the people who are being judged. For example, when people see a Vietnamese woman in her 20’s, 30’s and 40’s just migrated to America, they would assume that she will be working in a nail salon and flirt with some rich guys to get married with. Being stereotype is difficult deal with, and it’s really offended and hurtful. “The Myth of the Latin woman: I Just Met a Girl Named Maria” by Judith Ortiz Cofer and “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan share some common and different stereotypes that they had to go through. In the story “The Myth of the Latin Woman: I just met a Girl Named Maria”, Judith Cofer wrote about her experiences being stereotyped as a Latin woman. In “Mother Tongue,” Amy shared her personal experiences being stereotyped with her language’s barrier. Even though the two female authors shared the similarity for being stereotyped by the society, they faced different situations on the way they were stereotyped.…

    In my essay I talk about the baseball field putting me in a good place. The Baseball field is where I feel like my problems go away. The smell of the freshly cut grass and the chalk getting put down I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The baseball field felt like home to me. When I am playing baseball I don’t worry about any other thing. When I am at the plate it’s just me and the pitcher. Also when I am playing baseball it brings me back to my childhood days when me and my dad where playing catch. Baseball is my family’s favorite sport. My family and I can sit in front of the TV and watch it for hours. My favorite memory of baseball is when I hit a homerun. I was smiling for weeks about it. I could hear my mom cheering so loud. At that time I had two tests that I didn’t study for but I was so focused on baseball it didn’t matter.…
