The Beautiful Diamond Research Paper

Ever since I could remember, I have always had a great interest and love for the game of baseball. As a kid, I would spend countless hours in the backyard with my grandfather, or even by myself, tossing, hitting and fielding a baseball. When I wasn't in the yard pretending to be Nomar Garciaparra I would watch the Boston Red Sox games on TV with my Grandfather.  Even in my early adolescence, as impatient as most are, I had the patience to sit there and watch the Sox.With my eyes glued to the screen with a look of anticipation fixed on my face ready to mimic my grandfather with the excitement of a home run hit or the frustration of Mo-Vaughn striking out. Call me crazy, but I was addicted, even as a young boy, to Boston Red Sox baseball.

Deep in the Alps lies a small town called Clay. The sun was rising over a frosty blue mountain, and drops of dew dripped down from the leaves in the valley. Arthur awoke to find his bedroom filled with light. He went downstairs and drank a glass of water, not hungry enough for food. Arthur went outside into the chilly morning and started walking down the road. The road was lined with hundreds of huge alpine trees. A large flock of birds flew over Arthur’s head in the sky.

In my previous years I hadn’t been as committed to my development as I should’ve, and now wish I had been. I made a vow to myself after that game to get serious. It was time to step up as a leader on the team, and show everyone that I had it in me to be great. I couldn’t suffer another season like the past three: promising signs throughout the entire regular season, but continuous disappointment in the postseason.

The memories shared through generations of baseball can be pictured by many, the pickup game of all the neighborhood boys in the vacant lot down the street, the miraculous foul ball landing right in your lap, the classic summer day spent at the ballpark eating hotdogs and singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and “Sweet Caroline.” But more recently, these classic memories are being replaced by those of overbearing Little League coaches who need to take a chill pill, boring games that go on for nine extra innings, and overpriced hotdogs that just don’t taste right.

While losing hurt my team's record, it also brought us closer together. We shook off the loss and pushed through the pain to earn our future

The excitement and happiness are what we wanted to feel when hopefully lifting up a trophy. We needed to prove that not one person can talk down about us without there being a consequence. Every day for hours we pushed ourselves and each other. We became stronger individually and as a team. It was time for preseason, and this is where we must justify our position in our division. We played in one of the hardest group divisions in the whole country, which was exceptional because that left no room for failure, it just left room for us to

My God, am I such a jewelry fanatic! I knew as soon as I saw jewelry I had to write about it. Jewelry is something women and men but mostly women tend to adorn themselves with to either show stature, beauty or just to feel special about themselves. The Jewelry gives a lot of details on where it was made and the interesting designs on the necklace and earrings. Also, because it’s made of real gold and silver any women would be honored to wear such an amazing work of art.

Each and every week I would head out to the baseball park, not because the experience would always leave me with joy, but because of the joy and satisfaction that the players had when they came and left the field. Many of the player’s parents told my fellow buddies and I, that the players would start counting down the days until the next Sunday, as soon as they’d get into the car! Throughout the entire Challenger season, I was reminded of how easy my life actually is, and how a how much I take for granted daily. With this program having such a great impact, I was dedicated to making sure that the player’s experience was the best possible. Which meant that I would often get there early, and help our Challenger division coordinator, to set up and makes sure that everything was ready for when the players came. My hard-work, and readiness to help out obviously were apparent to the coordinator, Jeff Sandes, as he came to me at the end of last year’s season to thank me for all the hard work, time and effort, I had put in to make sure that the players' experiences were the best

‘Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes’ by Paul Simon is a piece for a folk/rock band with a world beat feel to it. This song portrays a story between a poor boy and a rich woman. The piece being composed in 1986, the modern era, has its focus set on individual expressionism. The composer achieves this through the songs aesthetic expression and his unique style of writing. This has been influenced by previous styles, and in turn has influenced concurrent musical styles.

I clearly wasn’t trying to be rude about my email but obviously you were. I was simply pointing out what I thought was an error in the schedule. It has nothing to do with fairness, it’s just common sense. The ‘A” division teams are much better than the ‘B’ and ‘C’ division teams (likely the division you play in) and SHOULD be scheduled on the diamonds they usually play on. I bet there was only 20 games played by ‘A’ teams on Beiner B all year long and majority of them were rescheduled games. So, why would a game be scheduled for the year end tournament on a diamond that we rarely play on?…. oh that’s right, it’s because when you get an email from a guy pointing out an error, you shove it back in his face and tell him to join the executive. All I was trying to do was get one game switched, which would take 5 minutes of your time but that was way too much to ask. In the end, I think everyone in all leagues would agree with me that ‘A" teams should be scheduled for all games at either Cameron ‘B’ or Beiner Hardball diamonds when possible.

All the emotions started sinking in as we started to cry with joy. After all the crying, we went to say “good game” for sportsmanship and returned to the mound to complete a bet. We bet Coach Cadena that if we went undefeated for the whole season, the team got to dogpile on him. And we did. All of us returned to the dugout with all of our families and the baseball team congratulating us. Seeing my fathers’ face with a huge smile made me feel so great he got to see me play with four single hits and no outs. I made a contribution to the game that I was awarded second region team. During the end of the awards ceremony, when we hold the championship plaque, all of us had the biggest smiles on our faces and returned home with

Kelly J. Mayes defines plot in The Norton Introduction to Literature as the way the author sequences and paces the events so as to shape our response and interpretation. Every piece of literature contains a plot pattern that follows Freytag’s pyramid. This pyramid consists of an exposition, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a conclusion. Though each story displays this pattern of organization, authors use many different literary devices to differentiate their work and to acquire the response they want to achieve from their audience. The author of “The Jewelry,” Guy De Maupassant, correctly followed Freytag’s Pyramid and used varied literary devices to create a suspenseful read for the audience.

Those closest to me know my love for baseball and how much I love the sport. It’s just something I have loved about the game that I feel in love with it the moment I first stepped onto the field. I always tell people I was born on a diamond because I feel like I was.

What would you do if your significant other passed on and left you with over 12 million dollars? That's exactly what Guy De Maupassant tries to answer in the short story, “The Jewelry”. The author answers this question by expressing it through the five main parts of a complete story the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and conclusion. Not having a plot in the story it would be the equivalent of reading someones everyday journal. There are many events that happen but they are in a random, that may not make sense. The three of the most important elements of this story are the rising action, climax, and conclusion. This short story allows each of the elements to build on each other creating a greater outcome for the following

I have been deeply attracted by all media contents even the commercials since I was a kid. DeBeers “Diamond is forever” campaign is my childhood fantasy about advertising and marketing communication, it is still one of my favorite campaigns. Drown in my fantasy in advertising and curiosity in communication fields, I chose Public Relations & Advertising as my major after admitted into BJNU-HKBU United International College. Systematical learning enabled me to observe this field from a much more professional perspective, and most importantly, drove me to review the advertising industry dialectically. It was then when I realized that my childhood fantasy seems impossible nowadays with increasing media clusters, the rise of new media and the fall of advertising predicted by marketing mavens like Al Ries. Feeling inadequate and eager to learn more from industrial veterans and experts, I decide apply for Master of Art in Global Communication program in your esteem university.
