Professional bull riding is a fierce, rough, and grueling sport with roots deeply imbedded in American culture. It's America's original extreme sport. The PBR has evolved into a captivating and adrenaline charged sporting event that features an all star cast of the greatest bull riders and bucking bulls in the world. Bull riding originated in charreadas, contests of ranch and horsemanship skills that developed on the haciendas of Old Mexico. First termed jaripeo, bull riding was originally a variant of bullfighting where riders would literally ride the bull to death. It later evolved into an event where participants merely rode the bull until it tired and stopped bucking. The history of bull riding started first back in the 1850's. Texas men

In the wise words of Charlie Anderson, “[I]f we don’t try, we don’t do. And if we don’t do, why are we here on this Earth?” Charlie Anderson is the protagonist in the movie Shenandoah, who lives with his six sons, Jacob, James, John, Nathan, Henry, and Boy, and his daughter, Jennie. Charlie Anderson is the type of person who responds to everything by trying and giving it his all, but only if it concerns him. The movie takes place during the Civil war, which occurs near their family farm and Charlie’s intent was to stay neutral because he felt that the war did not concern him, until his youngest son, Boy, was mistaken for a union soldier and taken by the confederate army. Charlie ventures off with five of his sons and his daughter, while James and his wife, Ann, and their baby stay back at the house. Along the way, tragedy strikes the family, affecting them in ways that cannot be undone. The protagonist in the novel Johnny Got his Gun, Joe Bonham, was drafted into the war and greatly injured as a result. Joe experiences a loss of his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and limbs. The only thing that Joe is left with is a working brain and very little ways to communicate with the outside world. As the novel progresses, Joe faces an immense amount of internal conflict and struggles with the effects that war has on him. Although both Charlie and Joe experience the harsh impacts of war, they respond to them in quite different ways.

Imagine being stuck in a civil war crisis all by yourself when you were 12 years old. In A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, an 12 year old , Ishmael Beah, becomes a soldier for the government to fight against the rebels. Beah lost both of his parents during the war. He was eventually put into rehabilitation after two years of fighting. Also, in an biography of John Clem, John joined the army as same age as Beah. John joined the army during the civil war in the United States. These two kids fought in a civil war at an age 12. Anyone can do anything even if you are too young because these two kids fought in a civil war.

The First Battle of Bull Run started on July 21, 1861. It is also known as The First Battle of Manassas. This battle took place in Manassas, Virginia. The fighting caused the deaths of 2,700 Union soldiers and 2,000 Confederate soldiers.

It's August 31st and the aftermath for the second battle of Bull Run starts now. The confederacy wins a fair match against the union called the Second Battle of Bull Run (Second battle of Manassas). The confederacy wins by general Jackson’s brilliant method for holding the stressful lines until Major general Longstreet comes. Therefore, he was also called “Stonewall” Jackson that day. John Pope, the union general, loses because of his hesitation to attack. General Longstreet marches in along with 25,000 other men to reinforce their counterattack. John Pope doesn't even realize that general Longstreet has arrived until it was too late. The union gets pushed further and further back up against the border of Henry House Hill. The union strongly

What if your locker was as small as a book not really but Bull Run lockers are tiny.

Split by different cultures that stemmed from the Union and Confederacy, the United States was forced to resolve such issues with a Civil War. The nineteenth century US Civil War was a battle for power and slave rights. Favoring a stronger federal government, the Union disagreed with the Confederacy’s view on slave rights and economical style. Seeing as their economy and infrastructure was heavily based on agriculture, the Confederacy would take the most impact from an abolishment of slavery and stronger federal government. These two issues alone led to the most deadliest US war to date. Often identified as “the young soldier”, Henry Fleming enlists into the army with a very romanticized view of the battlefield. Within the first three days of battle, Henry’s characterization of a courageous and brave soldier changes dramatically.

In 1831 an indian child was born, of the Sioux Nation and the Hunkpapa Tribe. His father, Sitting Bull, and mother, Her-holy-door, did not name him Sitting Bull, he was named Jumping Badger. He was never called Jumping Badger, he was called Slow because of his willful and deliberate ways.

Samuel Aguirre Mr. Charles McCants History 101 2 May 2017 The Battle of Marathon and Democracy In 490 BC, the Athenians and the Persians fought a decisive battle that would determine the fate of Athens: the Battle of Marathon. By uniting themselves against the mass of Persian forces, the Greeks put to rest the myth of Persian invincibility that had so long endured. Based on Herodotus’ narration of the event of the Greco-Persian Wars, this essay argues that the Battle of Marathon demonstrates the differences between the governments of Persia and Athens, and the victory helped to promote democracy in Athens.

Charlie does not support the war, and he does not allow his children to fight in the war because he believes it is not their fight. Although Charlie and his family do not get involved in the war, they still are affected by it. The character Boy ,who lives with Charlie, is taken prisoner by the Federal troops for wearing a confederate hat. Charlie and his family go on to find and rescue Boy. On the journey Charlie’s son Jacob is shot and killed by a confederate soldier.

Though separated by two hundred and seventy-two years, the battles of Marathon and Cannae have much in common. Firstly, both battles employed the Pincer Maneuver, in which an army attacks both sides of the enemy formation in a movement similar to pinching. Miltiades and Hannibal extemporized brilliant tactics when they forwent the traditional blocked phalanxes to instead surround their opponent’s force, and Hannibal elevated this process with his strategic choreography of a feigned retreat in order to goad the Romans into the center of his attack and consequently, their doom. Both battles were of the ‘David and Goliath’ variety, and the end result of them was the same as the Biblical battle—the much stronger, larger, and in general more

I like your analogy where you compare the bulldozer approach to a marathon. I think the analogy highlights the fact that while it's possible to succeed for a little while using the bulldozer method, eventually it will catch up to you and you will get burnt out. I know I made this mistake myself when I started my first semester at Forsyth Tech and I'm definitely not the only one. I also quite like how you say "Excellence sometimes is a process of failing and trying again". I think too many people believe that they cannot achieve excellence simply because they have failed in the past, but what they don't realize is that excellence is a result of learning from your
