As the film ‘Run Lola Run’ has a multiform narrative structure, it is separated into three sections in which Lola is able to repeat her journey from the beginning. The repetition of the run in which we see the same scene three times is an example of how Lola's journey is similar to the likes of a video game. This works to emphasise the fact that her life can just be rewinded and restarted just like video games. Even though, in real life we cannot travel back it time, the repetition of the run sequence shows mistakes are fixed by going back to the root of the problem. Throughout the movie, the background music is similar to the music that is heard in fast-paced, action based video games, the music is fast paced and creates suspense, which

Within chapter three, the author demonstrates poverty as being the primary reason why the novel is titled Always Running. Living in poverty for some people may mean not having enough money for their wants, but in the case of Luis J. Rodriguez poverty was doing things that were uncommon for a child. For example, “ I did a little bit of everything. Mowing lawns with Rano, picking up boxes and cleaning out people’s garages. I even did housework like my mother had done when we were younger.”(page. 68) At the age of nine Grillo had to learn how to work because his family did not come from good income or the luxury life everybody would want. Poverty may break or make a person and in this case Luis J. Rodriguez was trying to take his family out of poverty even though he was only a child. Luis J. Rodriguez was always running for a better life.

Shouldn't fiction be part of students’ curriculum in their academics? School board across the states no longer has a place for fiction in school curriculum. From the beginning of time, many of native storytellers carry morals through generations of passing down customs, history and heritage. Such as Always Running by Luis Rodriguez, there are morals into which one retell and learns from mistakes. It is important today in which storytelling had been around from cave paintings, movies to novels. Without history, without the storytelling, mankind would not learn from their mistakes, never dream of heroes like Alfred Einstein and would not acknowledge anything of the past. Mankind would bewildered of the past, then eventually will be hopeless in

In sixth grade I quit the school band in the middle of my third year to join Running Club. The goal of Running Club was to run a 5k after weeks of practice and I accepted the challenge. Throughout the duration of training, I would find the long runs consistently demanding and a test to my motivation to persevere in the club. One of the coaches, Miss. Ames, was my teacher from the previous year and she ran with me during practice. She constantly encouraged me to push myself a little more every run and to keep practicing. I was frustrated with my performance, but Miss. Ames continued to encourage me. Nevertheless, preparing for that 5k was an eye-opening and an overall amazing experience.

With the power of Fiction we are able to express ourselves, develop new ways of thinking, and the factor of seeing someone else’s footsteps simply with their biography or novel they have written for the readers. Novels like Luis J Rodriguez, Always Running can impact the youth with the chilling story of his facing of drug abuse and gang life/violence he faces throughout the novel. The huge point of the novel discrimination and relating it to the novel and real world present issues that are occurring throughout the novel and now. Simply talking and stats of youth and why it’s important for them to read also with the factors of how they should keep reading or successful futures.

Particularly, off of Born to Run is “Jungleland”: an almost ten minute long epic that closes the album. Particularly, it is characterized as a romance set upon a backdrop of gang-oriented violence. Various aspects of the song have warranted scrutiny; notably, it has been widely argued as to whether the song takes place in the cities of New Jersey or the streets of Uptown New York City, and whether the protagonists of the piece are affiliated with the mafia or street gangs. While the meaning behind the song does not change if the ambiguity was lost, it is worth taking into account. Moreover, this album combined a number of new musical elements for Bruce Springsteen, such as the violin introduction that sets a somber tone, and the piano tune

Foot injuries are very common in athletics as well as in everyday life. It’s very debilitating to have a foot injury since we use our feet in all of our daily activities. Research published in "Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise” indicates that the average adult takes between 5,000 to 7,000 steps a day. Some sports require the most dedicated athletes spend multiple hours a day pounding their feet on the turf or pavement. Most injuries that occur in the foot require a person to try and stay off of it or completely immobilize it. Since this is very difficult for a person to do, a large percentage of foot injuries often have a very high chance of reoccurring. The severity of some injuries that can be deceiving as well. Often times a nagging pain is ignored and eventually becomes a much bigger problem.

Participating in basketball begins with picking which basketball shoes to wear. The purpose of a sports shoe is to improve performance or reduce the risk of injury (Fong, Hong & Li, 2007). While playing the game of basketball I’ve realized it is a sport that involves different types of shoes which help improve jumping, landing, cutting and much more. Basketball has its positives and negatives for every age group; it has good health benefits, but it also consists of moderate to high risk lower body injuries to the lower back, legs and ankles. There are different types of basketball shoes which consist of high tops, mid tops, low cuts, cushioned shoes, non-cushioned shoes, and other different combinations. The high tops basketball shoe will have a collar that goes above the ankle like a sleeve. The mid tops basketball shoe covers slightly above the ankle, but lower than high tops. The low cut basketball shoes don’t have a collar at all and they don’t cover the ankle. Shoes also vary by weight and outsole traction. Through my knowledge picking the shoe to wear is solely on your preference. Whatever shoe that you choose will have different advantages or disadvantages to them. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the variety of effects specific shoe types have on basketball athletes.
