“Follow your passion. Be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and above all do not let anyone crush your dreams.” -Donovan bailey In the short story “taxidermy” by kevin kling, The theme of dedication and obsession are portrayed many times. The story Taxidermy is about two brothers who always seemed to be the cause of or near the site of death so then their mother enrolled them into a taxidermy class because she thought that you might as well do something with the animal remains, the two boys seemed to be very interested in the topic and eventually got hooked. The two brothers both got very good and loved talking about taxidermy, so then when the boy scouts troop asked what their winter project would be on of course they are going to scream out taxidermy and they got the whole boy scouts troop hooked.Through the elements characterization, irony, and personification Kevin Kling suggests that even if you work hard and have dedication towards a skill it might not work out in the long run. Obsession was a very important theme of this story and was portrayed best by John stoner. The literary element of characterization can relate to obsession with a couple quotes throughout this story. “John stoner has been coming in with these squirrels that had nothing visibly wrong with them- they looked like perfect squirrels. We found out later that he was catching them in a have-a-heart-trap- A live trap- putting them in his garage,shutting the garage door,starting his dad's car,and
When you dissect any animal, You'll be required to cut open the frog with a scalpel, you can easily identify the basic organs and systems of the frog, explore the anatomy of the animal, and write about the basic organs. About 10 to 12 million animals are put down through dissection every year in America. Most of the dissected are caught in the wild. Commonly dissected animals caught in the wild include 7 million vertebra like frogs, turtles, sharks and countless Invertebra like grasshoppers, crawdads, and starfish. In December 1999, the Israeli Minister of Education announced an immediate ban on dissection and live-animal experimentation in the country’s schools.
This quote will continue to inspire me in life, no matter where I end up. Due to my career choice, it is vital that I understand who I am and to never let anyone sway that. If I were to allow people the opportunity to impact and change who I am, I would not be able to accomplish any of my dreams. Although, I have chosen this quote, I will not forget any of the others that helped build me into who I am to become.
First, when I play for Ole Miss I am going to be the best I can I believe in myself. Next, when I play for Ole Miss I will keep practicing everyday so I can be in shape for the game. Finally, I’m going to get drafted into the NFL I’m going to practice everyday, believe in myself, and do what I love best.
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don 't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can 't take their eyes off you.”
What I have learned from Kurt Warner’s success, is that it isn’t easy to get to where you want to be in life. It takes hard work as well as patience and practice and you will get better and get to your goals. It is easier to take short cuts but short cuts only take you so far. Him practicing and using his grit he was able to reach his goal, sure he was older than most of the other players but he at the same was sure of his goals and in his prime consider better. I want to take what I learned from Kurt’s experience and apply it to my life. If I want to become a nurse it will not be an easy road to get there but I must plan and think of it like a marathon and not give up easy. If it does take a little longer than I wanted then I need to plan
I choose this quote because it reminds me to never give up. When I think about it, it reminds me when I will be doing something hard like playing a level in a game or a shot that is difficult, to keep doing it over and over again until I can finally master it. Also, I think this is an important quote from Bo Jackson to say because he probably had to set his goals high. He played two professional sports, football and baseball. He probably had to try really hard when he was a good football player in the NFL and wanted to be a player in the MLB. He set his goal high, practiced and practiced and didn’t stop until he got to his goal. He also is one of the few rare players
‘Dream it. Do it’. This is Jordan Burroughs quote. Wrestled at small tournaments at young age. He has won a lot of gold medals. Has a wife and kids and wants more kids. He won the olympics. He competes in a lot of freestyle wrestling tournaments. Jordan Burroughs lives a goal accomplishing life, and hopes to accomplish more.
Cole has always looked at life as if you choose how you want it to be and how you want to be remembered. In particular, J Cole wants to be remembered by his music and the words he speaks so people understand that his opinion matches the feelings and lives of many people. For instance, J. Cole has said many times, “Life is like a movie, pick your own role, climb your own ladder or dig your own hole.” Considering this, J. Cole wants you to realize that you choose who you want to be as said before. If you want to be a famous sports player then don’t let other opinions of this Earth tell you that you can’t do it. You have to reach past the horrible challenges that this world will give you or you will never reach the goal that you call the top. You can be who you want to be if you try your hardest. You won’t be who you want to be if it is given to you because you won’t be the best at what you do or you won’t succeed at it in any way. In other words, you reach the dream that you have if you want it bad enough by putting your time and effort and compassion into it. You don’t become something or someone that’s exceptional enough at something if you don’t work for it, you become what you want to be by working for it. Above
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” Chris
Sarah: As Jesse Owens once said, “We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into a reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self discipline, and effort.” This quote is saying that before you can make your dreams come true, you must work hard and not stop until you reach your dreams. This has to do with our topic because Jesse Owens showed these traits when he was competing in the 1936 Olympics.
This is hinted at when he states that the mouse "feedeth still in doubt of deep deceit". Although the mouse has been hurt before and fears for a next time it will be captured while feeding, it still needs to feed to survive, although it still feeds in "doubt of deep deceit". Another place the speaker hints at this attitude is towards the end of the poem where he describes the "game", or relationship, he has with the woman as "grievous" since it "follows fancy dazzled by desire". Through only these two places in the poem, the speaker is able to create that tone of longing that goes hand in hand with the dominant tone of distrust and
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them…” -Henry David Thoreau. This quote means that you can be a dreamer and have wondrous ambitions but that will all go to waste unless effort is put towards that ambition. I agree with this statement because people can have the most amazing goals but go no where without the required effort.
First, animal importance is used to help foreshadow George and Lennie’s disastrous conclusion. One example of this is, ““The way I’d shoot him, he wouldn't feel nothing. I’d put the gun right there.” He pointed with his toe. “Right back of the head. He wouldn’t even quiver,”” (Steinbeck 45). This shows that Candy's dog is representing Lennie. In the end Lennie is shot in the back of the head, like the dog. Also, it shows that the dog is suffering enough already, which also represents Lennie. In the poem “To a Mouse” it says,” The best laid schemes of mice and men go often askew,” (Burns). This reveals that mice and men are similar because the mouse’s plan didn’t go as expected, and neither did George and Lennie’s. Animal importance helps foreshadow the events
Every day is like a battle but every night with us is like a dream -Taylor Swift that quote was what I was living by. All I had to do was endure hell on earth during the day, then as soon as that bell rang I was free. So I worked incredibly hard and ended up with an acceptance letter for next year, because of scholarship reasons. That shook me to my core because of how hard I worked. How could something so simple like money take away my dream. This is where it took everything in me to just trust that god had a plan for me.
If you can’t have the athletic success Patrick and other athletes had, you can still take examples from them: keep your options open. Sometimes this means having to move away to join a new club with the opportunity you want. Unfortunately in sports, this aspect doesn’t get the coverage of other facets of the game. Whether you are on the field or in the offices, movement happens. Unlike some industries, the local market may not allow for you to hop from one organization to another.
