NFL Characters

When they recruit to the St. Joseph High School, I thought that they were finally going to be able to make their dream come true, but then when Arthur’s family could not make the payment, the school decided to kick him out of the school. I understand why the school did that but what made me mad was that they knew his life situation and they could have let him finish at least the semester, there are many students who are paying for their education so letting one student, whose families are struggling financially, would not have hurt them in any

Between Sterling Point and Alford J. Mapp, Nate was in over his head with unanswerable questions. Nathan finally got an entire tablespoon full of racism shoved directly down his throat. No one can seriously blame him though; being one of the only black people in an all white school is like police target practice down at the shooting range. Constantly being picked on, called names, and singled out Nathan could no longer collect the enthusiasm to participate in class or mingle with fellow classmates that simply would and could not accept him for who the human being he is.

In the recent decade, the Dallas Cowboys have bounced back and forth between locations for their annual training camp. In 2001, the Cowboys held part of their training camp at the River Ridge Sports Complex in Oxnard, CA while also training in Wichita Falls.

It's hard for these three young men growing up in such an unearthly place. No matter who you are, your qualifications, where you originate from or the the complexion of your skin you can make it in the macrocosm with just the right ethos. I found power and injustice really big in the this story due to the fact that they had the power to make and want to make it through high school and into college and the fact that they get mistreated by caucasian people in the area they attend college and by the police

The connection between the second and third section is that it goes from fighting for freedom to finally having it. In this last section, we can see the

Even though Wes’s father’s death was unjustified, Wes ended up in the right path. He faced little bumps when he was younger, but in the end he did the right thing with the help of his mother. When Wes was first sent to military school, he wanted to escape the place. As years went by, the place grew on him. One day, a few teens had threw something at him and told him to “Go home, nigger!”

The film wasn’t about that 13-0 record and winning a state championship, but the struggle that came with it and all the hardships they had to deal and get past. Racism, prejudice, compassion and love were all key aspects of this film as shown. The racism, prejudice of the team when they first met was severe and had been changed. The love and compassion came as the team grew to become one unit and love each other and be able to become something more powerful than they could be by themselves.

Football isn’t just about going on the field and playing 4 quarters against another team every week. It’s not just those Friday nights going to watch your high school team play. Football is a brotherhood, it’s your second family. It’s making memories that you will have with you for the rest of your life. It’s the hours of preparation, sweat, tears, blood, bumps and bruises and going back out everyday just to give it your all. Football isn’t just a game that i’ve played it’s something that has shaped me into the person I am today.

Later on in the third chapter it got way better it felt like you were actually in the book and talking to the characters. In the beginning it was telling about the characters, Stevie and Susan Carol’s childhood and how they both grew up with really football fan-a-tic parents and they grew into it. However, the title tricks you because Stevie and Susan Carol do not actually play football they are very smart young teenager journalists for college games like Navy, Army, Notre Dame, Air Force, Michigan, and UCLA. They choose reporting because they are adult looking and are really talented in writing. They write on how the refs did on penalties, how they players thought on how they and their team did during the game, gives her opinion on how exciting the game was and what happened, reports injuries. The writer writes with passion like she actually lived through all of these events. She makes the characters feel alive and like your right next to them, you feel what they feel with all the emotions, adjectives used in every

The section begins in West Baltimore where Wes is tired of the harrowing life of a drug dealer. His feelings of defeat are mirrored through the decrepit imagery as Wes travels down the streets of West Baltimore: “[Wes] walked down the broken blocks past clusters of abandoned buildings, the glass from shattered windows on the sidewalk, junkies on the steps...while thirteen-year-olds ran drugs up and down the streets” (138). Wes confides to his friend Levy, “‘I want to get out. Do something different with my life. But

What do you know about the NFL? This one of the best male sports. A boy named Christian was a senior at Riverview Gardens High School; he played football, and he looked up to Calvin Ridley as a role model. His dream had always been to make it to the NFL, so he worked hard everyday day in and day out to strive for his goal. He was just a young man with a dream to get far with his talent for others to see, not just his brothers and teammates. He lived by a famous quote that says, “It’s not the SIZE of the dog in the fight but the SIZE of fight in the dog.” Hall Of Famer Archie Griffin of the Cincinnati Bengals said this because football is a man’s sport. There were lots of legends created in the history of the game.

In 1957, Brown was selected to join the Cleveland Brown squad and immediately joined the team’s training camp. Despite most professional football players taking the time to adjust the high level of play of the NFL, Brown quickly adjusted and made his presence felt. This showed another important quality of coach ability that Jim Brown possessed. Jim got better each game, day, week and season. His ability to be receptive to instruction, taking criticism and challenges to improve was outstanding. In 1958, Brown won the rushing title for the 1,527 yards he ran and tied the single touchdown record with 18. As years went by, Jim continued the onslaught, rushing on the ground and catching long passes into the end zone as teams watched. Between 1958

When we try to understand why the characters act as they act and what drives each of them, the viewers are inevitably drawn to the conclusion that they are just like them. They realize they are human; they have both good qualities and bad qualities. Spike Lee also makes them understand that at times they may make terrible mistakes, and that at other times they may display admirable heroism, and that sometimes they simply act without knowing why. Spike Lee does more than try to show his viewers that despite tensions, this Black neighborhood is a community. What Lee does is he makes the viewers think. He simply presents events as they are leaving the viewer to figure out the motives of the characters and the ‘why’ behind the course of events. Lee doesn’t really put a positive light on any particular race while shadowing the other ones. He doesn’t try to make conflicts have an obvious solution. Lee simply re-creates a piece of life, with a little twist of extreme (yet realistic) drama for deeper effect, and by doing this he tries to simply make his audience think and question.
