“An Apology for Using the Word 'Heart' in Too Many Poems” is a poem whose theme circles around how the author, Hayden Carruth, attempts to persuade people to use the word heart with emotion behind it. The title is what captures the reader's attention to this poem. When first reading the word apology, people usually think of it as a regretful acknowledgment which is along the lines of saying, “I'm sorry.” But not this particular apology. Also, when reading the words “heart” or thinking of “love”, the first thought is usually a great feeling and happiness. The author uses his apology as more of a defense and explanation as to what he thinks of the heart. He also gives his viewpoint on how people use the

How many times have you driven past your local tennis courts and seen them filled with happy kids running around and smiling? Probably more than once. Tennis is a popular sport, played all over the world and loved by many. However, more people should play this wonderful sport. It can be played at any age, and at any walk of life, be ye teenager or 65 year old lady. In fact, everyone should play tennis due to its development of physical fitness, mental health, and social skills.

Through the invention of lawn tennis, people who enjoyed playing the sport did not have to go out and pay to play. Instead, they could just go out on their front lawn and hit a tennis ball with a friend. Lawn tennis also affected society because in people’s free time, they could enjoy their day by playing a fun sport at home (on their lawn). Some people said that lawn tennis was a bad idea because they couldn’t play on their grass when it was long and that’s when Wingfield came up the solution to cut one’s grass really short. Also, on a nice day, some people would like to spend the day outside rather than inside. The concept of outdoor lawn tennis was illuminating because those people could now play the sport outside instead of inside. They had fun playing outdoor lawn tennis and they got to feel the nice weather. Those are some of the many reasons Wingfield’s invention of outdoor lawn tennis positively affected society. “Tennis is a great sport” (The club of Riverdale, 2016).

Rhode Island hosted the first National Lawn Tennis Championship in 1899 and is home to the Tennis Hall of

Many researchers have evidence of that tennis was played among the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans just in different formats. http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/where-did-tennis-originate.html suggests that “the most credible accounts on the origins of tennis dates back to 11th or 12th centuries. In that time French monks played handball on improvised court yards, and the game was known in French as "jeu de paume" or game of the hand.”

The state of Oregon and the national Racquetball scene are ablaze with high expectations and excitement for young Sawyer Howitt. Sawyer is a senior in high school majoring in business and finance. He also plays in association with the esteemed and private; Racquetball Club in Portland.

Racquetball is played on a rectangular indoor court with four side walls and a ceiling. The courts are designed so that the ball can bounce off any surface and still be in play, yet it is in a confined area so you don't have to run to cover too much territory.

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to see which ball is better quality for bouncing and what is a lot more reasonable for price and size.

If the ball was heated the air pressure within it increased. The ball felt more inflated. The increased air pressure resulting in a higher bounce. Different types of inflatable and non-inflatable could be used in this experiment to see if the results were comparable to the basketball. Different surfaces could also be tested. Further research could benefit athletes as they could expect more consistent performance in sports balls. The research could be expanded to improve the quality-reliability, safety and performance of vehicle tires as well. The next problem addressed could be whether different surfaces could affect the rebound of a ball or the performance of a tire. More research in this question could result in better athletic performance indoors and out. It could provide valuable information for manufacturers of sports equipment. Vehicle tires and other devises that require a constant air pressure in order to perform

Community is viewed "as the common understandings among people who are committed to coexisting" (Richard and Turner 30). When I think of community I often think of a created family such as teammates. People who get along and share the same will and drive. Tennis fans/players create a community for the love of the match. Co-cultures is a "culture within a culture" (Richard and Turner 30). The connection between Serena and Venus goes beyond tennis. They share sisterhood, which many competitors don’t have. Within a community and co-culture is a social identity- "the part of one's self that is based upon membership in a particular group" (Richard and Turner 30). In the recent 26 times Serena and Venus has met up in match play; "15: Serena- 11: Venus" (CNN). They are both defined by their own skill level and matches won. As Serena and Venus face each other head to head in the quarter finals for the U.S. Open, a life goal is in reach; a grand slam. A grand slam is winning 4 of the most competitive tennis matches in the world; Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open. Serena Williams have won them all except the U.S. Open. This is a culture clash- "a conflict over cultural expectations" (Richard and Turner 31). Culture has created many different communities, co-cultures, social identity, and culture

Tennis dates back many centuries ago, and is believed to be played by ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. It has evolved over the years, and today the tennis style is tremendously different from previous centuries. Many different tennis styles have been adapted over the years, and today tennis has become a more aggressive sport. It is very different from when the players use to ding the ball back and forth across the net.

The William Sisters, Venus and Serena Williams, have had a huge impact on the game of tennis. When they peaked to fame it changed the way everyone saw the game of tennis.
