In 1989 Pete Rose, one of baseball’s greatest, lost all the respect he had gain in his successful career. That year, the league had brought to there attention that Pete Rose was a chronic gambler. Eventually Pete Rose ended up being banned from baseball. Now he wants a chance for a spot in the Hall of Fame, a place for baseball’s greatest. The question of whether or not Pete Rose should be accepted into the Hall of Fame has been a source of great controversy in the baseball community. The author, John Leland, address this controversy in his article, Hustling For the Hall, and attempts to prove that Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Mr. Leland believes that because of Rose’s accomplishments,

Although Summer was coming to a close, the smothering heat had yet to subside. As a result, Alfred Jones was spending his last few days of freedom, relaxing on top his cherry red Chevy truck, sipping cold bottles of soda and whistling old tunes. He kept going over a particular phrase mentioned to him again and again, that vacation always seemed to fly by, but these past weeks, every hour seemed to drag on until every day seemed meaningless. He brought the rim of the bottle to his mouth and surveyed Calamity look-out. Lush trees, cracked roads, obnoxiously coloured houses... Same old, same old. It drove Alfred insane, he was never able to stand the peacefulness of it all, everything in (think of town name later) was so... unimaginative. It

When they reach Estelle Louise’s driveway, Clemmy Sue eased the Ford into the entrance, and stopped thirty feet from her mailbox.

One day, I was drawing something when my older sister comes up to me and tells me that she’s going to a place called “La La Land” (more than a decade before the movie, btw). I was too absorbed in my drawing to really care and shrugged it off. She wanders off and I don’t see her for some time.

This is Mrs. Adelaide Contessa Franchesca Thermopolies. Or you can just call her Addie T. for short. Addie T. is just like you and me in most ways.

So we are not related by DNA but through marriage. Many years ago I was told by my cousins that Carl was abusive and his family took him back to Austria. He never went back to Austria, because he is in fact in NYC, not far from my grandmother and her new partner Joe Michitsch. In 1930 all the younger children were in orphanages, except the older boys. My mother resided with my grandmother and her father Joe Michitsch. On the 1940 census all the older Mantel boys living with their mother, Anna and my mother.. Carl may have gone back to Austria or died. My two aunts, Rose and Ann Mantel were in an orphanage as well. I am not sure if Ann was a Michitsch or a Mantel, but she was originally born with my grandmother’s maiden name. Interestingly,

“Before I end this I want to say there was one person in my life who never expected a thing from me in return for their friendship. Sally, my neighbor was always there for me, but was never meddlesome or tried to kiss up to me in any way, even though she knew about my wealth. Sally gets two million dollars to do with as she pleases and ask her to personally assist the shelter and hospital in any way possible,” Mary said.

In “A Rose for Emily” and “A Doll House” the woman faced several courses of different imbalances such as gender inequality, social issues, and sacrifices in each story. The men in the stories entrapped the women into oppressive roles in their society. The sacrifices the women in each story that they had to face were the inequalities of how women were treated and belittled. In “A Doll House” Nora was treated like a doll, her husband was very controlling in their relationship and sheltered her from society. In ‘A Rose for Emily” her father controlled her completely throughout her whole life up until his death. So how is “A Rose for Emily” and “A Doll House” Similar for the women? What Sacrifice did they have to give up?

Needing some groceries, she had gone out and just had returned back as it was merely afternoon. It was pretty hot outside so she had a summery outfit that came to her mid thighs and pretty much snugged loosely around her body. When she heard her doorbell, she was in kitchen, putting her groceries away and was just finishing. She wiped her hands on a towel as she walked with it to get the door. She pushed the tiny curtain to peek out of the small window next to the door, to see who it was and found a well-dressed man who seemed as if he was here to sell something to her. She unlocked her door and opened it, seeming hesitant and giving him an unpleasant gaze, showing she wasn’t interested in what he was selling, “May I help you?” She said flicking her hair over her shoulders. Now, she stood tall at 5ft 7 inches but he seemed to just tower over her as she had to tilt her head back to look up at

I had just got a call from the school saying that my daughter Bailey had passed out in Algebra class. The office lady said that they were sending her to the hospital right now.

Tucker was on his way into the market while Elizabeth was on her way out, they bumped into each other and made an instant connection. As they bumped into each other Elizabeth dropped her bags so Tucker immediately helped pick them up. She looked at him and thanked him for his help. He looked at her and said, “No problem, Why is such a beautiful young lady like you carrying all these by yourself?” She giggled and made a shy expression. She explained where her husband was and who he is. Tucker then explained how he knew all about Dan and that they work for the same business. They introduced themselves and after a small conversation, Tucker offered to help her walk all the groceries to her car.

I was intrigued when our instructor indicated she was going to ask us to do an activity. Since this was the inaugural class, my interest was immediately piqued. When we were asked to describe ourselves as teachers by using fruit, the request invoked a momentary amount of trepidation. This is the first time I have been asked to describe myself in this manner and the entreaty took me by surprise. I didn’t want to spend too much time thinking about my response but rather was intently listening to how others class members described themselves. I was quite anxious to hear their analogies. A couple of people described themselves as hard fruit, such as pineapple and mango. They said, what they teach may seem hard, but when you get to the inside,

A few lampposts east of Glenoaks Boulevard, the Glendora Apartment rests close to the freeway and is painted deep burgundy and white. The building is clean too, for it has tidy residents who clean up after themselves every morning, before leaving to go to work. On one side of the building, the pool slopes up to the laundry room, but on the opposite side is the fresh garden aligned with flowers – roses, lavender, every color, carrying themselves rhythmically with the wind; and there are tiny garden gnomes that arch over the flowers. On the tennis courts under the tall palm trees, the tennis players laugh or shriek if a lizard crawls among them. Squirrels come out of their nests to sit on the lawn chairs at night, and the damp pavement is covered

In her essay Rose identifies the main features of the school of ideal womanhood. She points out that true womanhood worked if you fit the specifications of the ideal true woman. If you did not, then there was another less popular ideal of a female that was intelligent, independent which sounds a lot like the modern feminist. She contends that both ideals of women, the positive and the negative, are social constructs. Neither ideal actually existed but the purpose of constructing ideals is itself a form, of social control. She writes that this control was promoted by the publication of conduct books. Conduct books were a genre of books that would instruct women on the socially acceptable practices of how to present oneself in society and the

Our story takes place in a land of forests and fields, towns and villages, rolling hills and brooks. The old and powerful Church of New Rose, which ruled the lands for six centuries, aims to establish total control over her domains. The Dukes and Kings who ruled these lands sought to gain independence from the church's iron grasp. ___ was one such of these Dukes seeking to gain independence from the church. Being the most influential of the movement, the church sent private soldiers under the cover of darkness to assassinate ___. As the church's spies learned more of the scheming of the Dukes, the church made their decision to gather a force and assert their authority over their domains. Forming a huge army of ___, Druids, and mercenaries, the church
