Jack Logan, the main character of the novel Losers Take All by David Klass, is a senior Fremont High School. Fremont High School is a “sports powerhouse known through New Jersey as ‘Muscles High’” (Klass 3). When their old principal suddenly dies while running in a race, Mr. Muhldinger, the football coach, becomes principal and sets a controversial school rule requiring all seniors to play a sport. The new principal makes a futile attempt to recruit Jack to join the football team, knowing that Jack’s father and brothers were part of a football dynasty at Fremont High. Jack joins a makeshift soccer team consisting of students void of substantial sports experience and talent. The team is focused on having fun versus winning. Surprisingly, they actually pride themselves in losing. As a result of their desire to lose and their strange on-field behaviors, the team was dubbed “Losers” and attracted national attention for being different. However once Jack actually starts to play soccer, he and other people quickly realize his dynamic natural athletic ability. Over the course of the story, Jack evolves as a person through his changing relationship with his father, his new interest in contributing to his school, and his acceptance of himself.

The president is constantly looking toward the state of nation’s defense. All major decisions and strategies are his to make alone. Likewise, the president is the nation's number 1 political boss. People look to the president as the leader for public opinion. Even though the president seems like he couldn’t take on many other roles, he is also the Chief of State, he is the leader of the rituals of the American Democracy.

We all know the president as the leader of our country, but we never really consider the many things that encompasses. He must be a Chief of State, a Chief Executive, a Commander in Chief, a Chief Diplomat, a Chief Legislator, and other various smaller roles. The President has many roles to take on and must act as all of them possibly in any given week or day. Taking a look at four random weeks in The President’s schedule I am going to identify examples of the president executing these roles, explaining why he was more active in certain roles, and why some roles are absent during these weeks.

In William Golding's novel Lord of The Flies he shows how evil exists inside of everyone, it is the situation a person finds themselves in allows evil to grow or be controlled.

Ralph, however, thinks about others but at times can be selfish which can make his evil grow, but Ralph tries to keep his evil at bay.
