Personal Narrative: Germantown

As Drew and Andie, came over to my dad and me, we were talking about how they got tickets also. Andie got the tickets from a friend. The teams came out of the tunnel and the second half was about to start. The first two minutes of the second half, UNI did not look very good as they were down 45-34. UNC shot the ball really well which put UNC up 50-34 with 17:13 left to play. I thought that UNI was still going to make a great comback into this game, and they did. Matt Bohannon made a three pointer as well as Paul Jesperson with two three pointers and trimmed UNC´s lead to seven at 50-43. ¨Here we go!¨ Jeremy Morgan made a three pointer and the score was 54-48. It just got even better. Wes Washpun got two layups and trimmed the lead to two. ¨Let´s go!¨ There was a TV timeout with 11:32 left to play, but there was a UNC foul. Jeremy Morgan got two free throws and made one for two. UNC would commit another personal foul, and Matt Bohannon had a chance at the free throw line and made one for two also. The game is tied at

They came in with pretty high hopes, and lots of confidence. But, the amount of cockiness they showed only added to our cockiness as well. Much like a chess match the mind games before the game even started was a whole game of its own. We won both the baseball game, and the chess match I might add. We took care of business from the opening pitch. GSL had brought everything they had, but it just wasn’t enough. This left us as the only unbeaten team left. Only 4 teams left in total, us, GSL, Maple Lake, and of course Watertown. Winning the first 3 games was quite the obstacle, but we overcame it, easier than it should have been. The biggest obstacle had yet to be sprung upon us. Our next game was just

I thought we were playing a good game. But Bartlett was catching us on the scoreboard. So we all played even harder. In the third quarter ‘I missed two layups and then got fouled and got two free throws.’I missed the first

As the time in the third quarter was wasting away, the energy on the court continued to deteriorate. This couldn’t happen, I thought to myself. Coach Foley will be so disappointed. Jogs transformed into sloppy sprints, the passes were weakening, and shots that didn’t have a single thought on them, went up. I looked over at my best friend, Sydney, just to see the frustrated, yet timid, look on her

It was my junior year of high school, I had just woken up. Unfortunately, I saw a baby blue room when I opened up my eyes instead of the off white walls I had grown so accustomed to. Getting up, taking a shower, and finding something to eat before shoving off to the school bus at the other end of the road was commonplace. The ride to school was as quiet as one would expect a school bus to be. The group in the back was being loud and obnoxious whiles the people up front, where I tended to sit, acted nerdy and making very offensive jokes.

I can already see us running and screaming on the field tackling our goalie in our heavy clunky gear. We all are so excited that we won. But wait i say to myself the game's not over get back in it. Now Simi has the ball but were winning by one. Then, I hear it the ref shouts in a loud energetic voice “2 minutes.”

This game was not like any-other game. We just we were going to win, there was no doubt about it. Me and the my team and I went to the locker room getting dressed and getting amped for the game. We hear them playing our song when we come out, an run out on the court so we start vibing to it. When we ran in the court every one in the crowd is cheering and yelling for us we started our warm ups.

Standing at a cremation ground the men with white mask walked over to me and took my brother of my back, they held his by one hand and two feet then placed him in the fire. I stood there without moving and watched the flames. I bite my lip so hard that it shone blood. The flames burned low like the sun going down. I turned around and walked silently away.

When I walked into this game, I walked in with such confidence and arrogance. I thought to myself, “It’s the regional semifinals game! We’ve made it to this point in the tournament, how can we possibly lose?” However, I

The next day was our semi-final game against Turtle Lake. Our whole team was a lot more relaxed because we had gotten the first game off of our chest. Going into this early morning game, we were very tired, since it was nine o’clock in the morning. Along with being tired we were were more nervous this game because we knew this team would be better than the last one we played. But we were still excited and nervous at the same time. Our team got to bat first, and it was very easy to put some runs on the board early on in the game. I think it was because our adrenaline was kicking in. Later on in the game, they put some runs on the board too, but they still didn’t have as many as us, so that was a big deal at the time. Later on in the game, we had an inning where we couldn’t do anything right. Of course Turtle Lake tried to take advantage as much as possible, but be did okay after we had a team meeting on the pitcher’s mound. Then soon or later, we had gotten all three outs, but by that time, the score was 4-9 Turtle Lake. Fast forward to the last inning, we were able to come back very gradually throughout the game. Before we knew it, we were up by two runs. So before the first batter got to

The sounds above me wouldn’t scare a foreigner. But here, it was a little different.

The “The Shared Secret” is a chapter of the book The German War. This chapter opens up with what could have been modified and its positive affect on World War II. It opens up the question as to how history could have been very different. Photo evidence is a major concept in this chapter. Despite the disallowing of photos to be taken, they were made possible. These photos allow people everywhere today, to see the detriment and horror that was the holocaust. The photos spoke for themselves, when depicting the absolute morbidity of what was happening.

For some odd reason I looked over at my parents, they looked at me and mouthed, “lets go, time to turn it up and take the lead!” We got back on the court to start the 2nd half and there is where “it” all started. WE score back to back to back, we went up by 4 and were extremely pumped up. Muscatine called a timeout and we went to go sit down. Coach just kept us pumped up and excited for the game. We went back out there and we slowed the game down again. Muscatine finally made a shot and did the same thing that we did. We began to lose, that’s when it all went downhill! We, ourselves brought us down by a big margin just because we thought we were going to lose and we stopped trying. So coach called a timeout . We went back out to the court and we just kept playing

Oh how good it feels to be at my home again. The furniture, the walls, the floor… It’s all here. Oh! Hi, sorry um heh forgot to introduce myself. The name’s James Manwell. This was my home here in. Anyhow I’m here to talk about how much the the world has changed between before and after the war. The world will never be the same. World War One obviously just ended.Sure I mean, it’s a bit better, We’ve made new inventions during the war. Now we’ve got tanks, gas masks, Machine guns, Zeppelins, Shrapnel shells… All of this jibber jabber probably seems boring. It would probably be much more entertaining to talk about what it was like to be in the army, or if I killed anybody, but, I don’t think anybody would be the same just from hearing about it. It’s so hard to find work now. Work with good pay is nearly impossible.All of these refugees around, most of the jobs here are gone.When we came back we were treated like cold hearted killers, like the whole reason we “Joined” was for recognition, money, fame, glory, for our country.But oh no we didn’t have a choice we were sent a letter saying that we were drafted into the army, so we had to go.I wish we didn’t though, honestly it's not as cool as people think.Because you

They came off the bench with a fire in their a**. Even when they were playing with such strength, we still had the momentum. We were able to put one more score on the board and win the game four-zero. It was the highlight of the tournament for our team. After that game had finished, we were able to get all of our players back and go on and win the tournament.
