In Toni Morrison’s novel, Beloved there is a mother-daughter relationship in which Sethe out of motherly love, murders her daughter Beloved to free and protect her from the harshness of slavery. Through this, the ghost of her deceased daughter haunts her conscience and later further haunts Sethe about her act of love.

“A woman is like a tea bag- you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.”(Roosevelt). Mayella is the opposite of this.

A very low class white family that is even frowned upon by other white families. Mayella Ewell is not powerful in terms of class, gender, and race because she is a white woman of a very low class

Sometimes it is easy to forget the game played on frozen ponds and backyard rinks, and get lost in the overwhelming professional sport known as hockey. However, we strive to remember that hockey became Canada's game because it made our never-ending winter months more bearable . The game gradually became a sport, then an entertainment industry. It seems like the lockout was one of the biggest news stories of the year. Part of the amazing nature of the game is that it's origins are fairly vague. However, we always remember that hockey is our game. It may not be our official sport, like lacrosse is, but hockey is what Canada seems to be most well-known for, and it continues to have immense influence on our free society, with its unique style

They went to school in the morning last year,and Dusk wrote a poem in language arts.At night they went to a hockey game.

I found the signing statements the most interesting in Chapter Seven. A signing statement is an announcement made by the president at the time of signing a bill into law. This is used sometimes to show the presidents’ interpretation of the new law and their predictions of the many benefits of the new law. It also has been used to identify sections of the law that are considered improper or unconstitutional. There have been many signing statements throughout history but many of them were not recorded.

For the first time in 46 seasons, there were no Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs. The last time this occurred was 1969-1970 season where there were only 12 teams in the league and two from Canada being the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs. The league has grown to 30 teams (and is in the process of expanding), with seven of them being north of the border. Although there are only seven teams representing the red and white, it’ surprising to think that none of them qualified, considering that last season five out of the the seven teams were in playoffs (except for Toronto and Edmonton).

Another big aspect of in-game entertainment at hockey is the intermissions. At this game, the first intermission was filled by a youth hockey league playing. I really enjoyed watching all the little kids play hockey. It involved the community and created positive memories for the kids and their parents. The second intermission was used for the Slap Shot contest. The Slap Shot contest is always fun and really engages the

He shoots he scores! The history of hockey has changed over time. There are many good players that wouldn't be as good if these changes wouldn't have changed.

This was it: Our last period to determine whether we were going to make it to the championship game for the first time since 2011, against the most hated team in the tournament. Edina is hated since they always make it to the championship and win. Now it was time for revenge. The buzzer sounded. My stomach was turning. Nervousness seemed to be passing through all of us. Whenever each team did one good or bad thing, the entire arena erupted with excitement. Minutes were passing by quickly. Both teams kept having such close shots. Each time I got a bad feeling in my stomach. All of a sudden, with three minutes left in playing time, Ash Altman found the back of the net on a breakaway goal. My heart was pounding with excitement. Cheering and applauding roared through the arena. Looking around I saw everyone on their feet, all 21,609 of us. Wow, this was an amazing feeling. Our fan section was going crazy. I thought we could not get as loud as we were in the first period, but I was proven wrong. We were all jumping up and down, screaming as loudly as we could. Holding each other, some people crying of happiness, I realized we all are in this together. All of us wanted this win. Hockey is so important at East High School, and especially important to the state of Minnesota. The last three minutes seemed to have gone by in seconds. Throughout those minutes, we all had not stopped cheering. This was a fantastic moment to be able to call myself a Greyhound, our school mascot. When the buzzer sounded for the last time, it was true. We were headed to the championship game. This was the first time we had made it to the

Steve’s first challenge after moving to our area as an adolescent was simply the struggle to find hockey gaems to watch on television. He started playing hockey in high school, casually, before entering various leagues throughout and after college. This included a stint on a doctors’ league which was later dubbed the SNHL (Saturday Night Hockey League). While Steve eventually decided to step off the ice in a player’s capacity to become a coach, he was still active when his Red Wing Jersey Clad son would sit in on his games alongside his mother, even in the very first years of his

In this significant story I will be telling you how big of underdogs we were when we played team Canada in the Final game in the Junior Youth Olympics ice hockey game. The game was at 7 pm, it was the last night of the youth Olympics. Everyone that participated in any type of sport showed up to the game, and most of the people that attended wanted Canada to come out on top of the game. The arena was completely packed even before the game started. The rink was getting rowdy and thousands of the Canadian fans started yelling at their top of their lungs “Let's go Canada!” before we even started having our warm up on the ice. No matter how loud the crowd was or how many thousands of people were rooting against us, nothing is more satisfying for a hockey player than the fresh smell of ice when no one has been on it for a while. It's the best feeling ever. Words can't describe playing against Canada and the crowd rooting against us, it's just makes us want to win even more. When the game started, l felt like l was as big as a beast out there and that no one could stop me.

Hockey is part of Canada’s self-image and is deeply rooted in Canadian culture, as it is viewed as the national game. Large brewery companies have helped shape the Canadian identity to place beer and hockey hand-in-hand. Molson Canadian has shown such devotion to Canada that they have made Canadians feel that consuming Molson beer is a “patriotic act”, and that drinking Molson is a way of “drinking in” the Canadian identity (Seiler, 2002). While the company’s pride for Canada is very apparent, their advertisements portray a sense of national superiority. The company represents Canadian patriotism with an anti-American notion, which Canadians most often politely disregard.

I clap my hands with the other thousands of fans, and my hands feel greasy from the slice of pizza I just finished eating. My mouth still has the tangy, saucy taste of pizza. I look down towards the field where the players are lining up in their formations. Their brightly colored uniforms stand out in the glare of the stadium lights. The field has a fresh mowed look, and the screens are bright as the North Star. As the lady starts to sing the National Anthem, the crowd falls do a dead silent, placing their hands on their chest and mouthing the words along with her. The mass of people standing in the arena look as if they are mannequins strategically placed for a photo. The lady finishes singing and the crowd resumes their jet like roaring. A man walks in front of me, as he walks by a get a whiff of his cheap cologne mixed with stale beer and cigarette smoke. Lucky to be me this man makes his way around to his seat that is directly to my right. After the first ten minutes the smell was almost unnoticeable. The game comes to an end most of the crowd wearing smiles and giggling like school girls, as if they had won the game themselves. Few others scream and pout as they waddle down the stairs to their cars. The noise has decreased greatly giving my ears a rest. The noise is now down to a dull roar, like a spring breeze blowing around leafs. My feet and hands ache from being pounded for nearly three hours. Passing the restrooms, a filthy smell flies through

Jason awoke in a sweat again. The red digital display of the clock radio told him it was 3:15AM, and although he wanted to go back to sleep, he knew he wouldn't be able to - he hadn't had a good night's sleep since his last job with Mat Johnson. It was the First National Bank on High Street. As soon as they started grabbing cash the cops were there.
