The Panyee Football Club Film Analysis

When the boy is reminiscing about the grinding ball, he remembers he uses “kid’s words” (rios, 86). The boy admits the words are childish words, and that he has matured and grown up since then. The boys lose their ball. The boys bury their ball, but admit that “once [they] buris it, it was gone forever]” which leads to the boys learning that if you do not keep careful control over and organise your belongings you may lose them, and organisation is definitely helpful in life. The boys were scared the adults would try to take their grinding ball, as “[the ball], was going to be taken from [them].

In the middle, the boys didn’t have a pitch to play football on, as well as no space. In the village that the boys lived in, space wasn’t something they have. So, the boys decided they were going to find a way to solve the problem. They were going to create their own space. They worked hard every day until their pitch that they were working on, was finished. After that, they would be able to practice football. Everyday they played football, and avoided all the challenges. For example, the pitch was very shaky, uneven, and had nails and splinters sticking out. The nails would poke their feet, and the splinters would also hurt. They found a way to play even with all of that and in addition, their footwork became really good. Also, since the pitch was so uneven and shaky the ball, along with the boys, often fell in the water, but that also never stopped them. They soon had to learn to play on a wet, slippery surface. This is being persistent because they are almost, “going with the flow” and learned how to deal with all the obstacles on the pitch. It wasn’t the best pitch, but it worked for them. Also, when a villager laughed and told them “You’re never going to become champions on that thing”! They ignored him and kept on playing. This is another example of persistency because the boys never bothered about the things that the villagers had to say about hem, and they also never cared about other

The odds were always against us, yet we persevered. When everybody told us “no, it cannot be done”, we stared right back at them and simply smiled while nodding because we always did our talking on the field, where it really matters. This is a story of how the Dulles Varsity Soccer Team shut up Clements without having to open our mouth.

This shows that with hard work you can get good grades in school and with hard work on the football field you can excel in sports as well

A League of Their Own (Marshall, 1992) explicitly characterizes an American era when a woman’s place was in the home. Even our modern perspective implicitly follows suit. Although women have gained rights and freedoms since the 1930’s, sexism remains prevalent in America. This film offers an illustration when men went to war and big business men utilized women as temporary replacements in factories, sports, and so on. Here, course concepts, such as gender socialization, gender expressions, role stereotypes, emotion expressions, and language, correspond to the film’s characters and themes.

It is often said that “practice makes perfect”, but what kids participating in competitive sports find out is that “Perfect practice makes perfect” (Three quotes). Hard work pays off and repetition builds skills. Practice may not be everyone’s favorite part of a sport, but doing something over and over again will make it become an instinct. Regardless of the type of sport that is played, there are some basic fundamentals that are learned and then practiced repeatedly. With each practice, athletes can gain more confidence in their ability (Kuchenbecker 37). Repetitions enable the players to develop skills and become more confident that they can perform when the time comes rather than being worried about failure. The level of discipline and focus developed by these kids helps them throughout their lives in a wide variety of ways.

This can be seen all through the practices, competition trials, and Olympic races in which George Pocock’s words ring true every time. It is during the final Olympic race in which the boys realized, “that they needed to do what was impossible, to go even higher. Somewhere, deep down inside, each of the grades at shreds of will and strength they did not know they possessed,” (Brown, 350). Giving the reader a look at how these men have to put aside everything and focus on pushing themselves through the hardest race of their lives, shows the hopes and dreams that they all share to gain what others thought might be

Lights blaring into my eyes, the crack of the bat, the shouting of the overly-devoted parents, the salty aroma arising off of the freshly roasted peanuts, all came together to create the overwhelming presence of a little league baseball game. This was a place where I spent most of my time on week day afternoons, in the spring, watching my brother succeed at America’s pastime. He was really quite good at this sport called baseball; he had just been granted the position of starting pitcher for the team. Sometimes things that have occurred in my life, and stuff I have received, that I may not have necessarily deserve, can be taken for granted. However, after what was about to take place my eyes are given a new perspective.

The tryouts for the newly reconstituted Under Fifteen Fugees were under way Luma gathered the newcomers and took row, she set up a scrimmage to assess the newcomers skilled and took notes to near their names to decide a posit of the players. After scrimmaging was over Luma had a talk with the boys about how she felt that if the team played against their opponents, they would most likely lose, Luma told them they were going against teams that played for five years team with experience, however the boy didn’t care they knew they could win and wouldn’t give up. With the new Under Fifteen team reconstituted and the season back on, the boys were only seven days away from their first game. In hopes of preparing the Under Fifteen Fugees Luma set a scrimmage between the Under Fifteens and the Under Seventeens. Fornatee a veteran of the Under Fifteens decided not to show up for the tryouts and two of the team’s practices, he felt as if he had a

These boys are taught the all too known, “no pain, no gain” philosophy, but to a new extreme. Bissinger tells the story of a boy who broke his arm during a game and set his arm by himself, rather than sit out. “By the time the arm had swelled up considerably, to the point that the forearm pads he wore had to be cut off, and unwillingly he went to the hospital” (Bissinger 43). Players are bred with the obsession of completing the task, no matter what is thrown at them.

In this short film, the characters show determination through, building a pitch with the lack of supplies and space,and they continued to train even though other villagers were skeptical, and because the boys kept playing the game even though they were having a hard time due to the rain. One way the boys show determination is by building a football pitch with the lack of supplies and space. They did this by collecting old wood from around the village and tying fishing rafts together. This shows determination because the boys used what was available without giving up. After a lot of hard work the boys finally had a pitch to play on.

Coach Phil Jackson once said, “The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.” Sky View High School Senior, Jaden Wood, is the embodiment of this.

Race, Ethnicity in Films, and the Criminal Justice System  Young black and Hispanic men, who are considered members of a lower socio-economic status are most of the time portrayed as delinquents in popular culture, especially in crime films. Films such as Talento de Barrio, which stereotypically portrays Hispanic men as gang members and drug dealers. Training Day, which portrays both black and Hispanic men as gang members and drug dealers. These two films are great examples to illustrate how the environment, poverty, social class, gender, race, and ethnicity can be part of many of other factors that creates this idea of social structure. The negative stereotypes that are reflected in these type of crime films influence how these two minority groups are perceived in the criminal justice system.

I saw in his eyes sheer delight and the joy of accomplishment. He had successfully faced a pitcher older and bigger and had fought off pitch after pitch before knocking a single into left field. His base hit drove in a run, continued an inning and fueled a rally which brought the team a victory from what looked like a certain defeat. He was willing to be taught and was willing to try. Success was secondary to the life skills he was mastering. Character traits will certainly be developed as one participates in team sports, but to attain positive character traits will require deliberate efforts by parents, adults, teammates and even leaders of the organization itself.

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.
