Training Day Alonzo Analysis

Alonzo says that he would have Jake’s blood falsified in exchange for Jake’s cooperation. Jake has to agree at this point. Alonzo again urges Jake to drop his naïve view of police work. Alonzo abuses his “authority, power, persuasion, and force” (187, Pollack) throughout this entire film.

The main purpose of the article written by Gerald Jones is to change the public perception of violent media for kids. He argues for this by saying violent media can actually have positive effects on young people because a violent media help the young people to gain self-knowledge and sense of potency through heroic combative storytelling. In addition to this, when young people are growing, watching a media action full pool of blood, killing, stabbing, screams of agony and pleas for mercy help them pull out of the emotional trap by plunging themselves into violent story. Jones also believes that violent media are a positive influence on children because pretend to have a superhuman power helps children defeat the feeling of impotent that inescapably

There has been no better time in history for women to break ground in the ranks of Major League Baseball.

Alonzo is by no means a soft hearted police officer, feared by the neighborhood in which he lives, officer Harris is known to have the power to bring down anyone who opposes him. At one point, he enters a private resident using a Chinese menu as a ploy for a fake warrant, steals what he knows is drug money. All this in order to pay off city officials to get a warrant on a large drug distributor he had

In a busy first week of competitions, the Alder track team had lots of success. The competition season started on Tuesday, April 5 in a meet with five other teams at Columbus School for Girls. Both the girls’ and boys’ teams finished second at the meet. The boys’ team had 16 members earn points toward their varsity letter while the girls’ team had 13 members earn varsity points. At Tuesday’s meet, participants could receive points for placing fifth or better in each event. Team members from both the track, running events including team relays, and field events, non-running events such as high jump and shot put, earned points for the team.

The American League has already had to replace two pitchers on the All-star game roster, and White Sox starter Jose Quintana continues to be snubbed.

This past summer, our Marist Varsity team worked the basketball camp. I coached a group of six to ten year old girls. One girl was much better at basketball than the rest of the girls, and the other girls started to be mean to her and her mean to them. This then lead to the girls not working well together on the court. I decided to leave my coaches out of it, and handle it on my own. After one of my team's games, I pulled all of the girls aside to talk to them. I told them that they need to be nice to each other because it affects their game play too. I told them that everyone was there to get better at basketball and that each of them are at a different point in their skill levels. I went on to say that I was not going to involve any adults

Marcus Pharhill is one problem child. He had a rough life growing up, his parents got divorced when he was 7. He never had a father figure in his life so he never knew how to be a sweet boy. His mom, Amanda Pharhill, and Marcus would constantly get into arguments over the dumbest things.

In Hunter S. Thompson’s brief commentary, Memo from the Sports Desk & Rude Notes from a Decompression Chamber in Miami, he memorates on the potentially hazardous effect that Nixon and his political advisors created at that time. “The slow-rising central horror of Watergate is not that it might grind down to the reluctant impeachment of a vengeful thug of a president whose entire political career has been a monument to the same kind of cheap shots and treachery he finally got nailed for, but that we might somehow fail to learn something from it.” It is here that Thompson’s once love-hate relationship with Mr. Nixon, which had been prominent in his earlier writings during the President’s previous political years, had finally come to a dark conclusion. For he had been a well-respected journalist that had repeatedly held the opportunity of meeting with both Nixon the President and Nixon the politician. His articles portray, much like much of the media dialogue that swept the nation throughout the years, followed both his faults and victories. From his actions towards

Adding on to that, when women talk it’s considered a sin, so they would have to confess to the priest, which actually happened with Anzaldua. Therefore, male domination is prevalent within Gloria’s community as women are given less chances to feel equal, and this struggle is similar for Hispanic minorities as well.

I believe in passing the ball. In my opinion life is like a game we are all playing. Has your coach, teacher, or parents ever told you there is no “I” in “team”? How many superstar athletes do you think won a championship on their own? Everyone needs a little help sometimes. My father and I don’t talk that much to each other unless it’s about sports. But, one day my father and I were watching a typical Laker basketball game nothing special, and then he said “all you have to do is pass the ball!”. I assumed he was just screaming at the players on the television as usual. But, then he looked at me and said Betsy all you have to do is pass the ball! again I just assumed he was talking about the game.

During my time in High School I ran on the cross country team for 3 seasons. The coach, Mark Snead is known for his sense of humor, teaching skills, and leadership abilities. This coach and teacher was committed to bringing out the best in his students. In the class, he didn’t waste time or try to overload you with pointless busy work. Instead he would teach what was necessary and appropriate to understand the subject and excel in the class. At practice, he would never yell at runners if he knew they weren't trying their best, instead he would gather up the team and explain to everyone why we run. He would proclaim something along the lines of, "Each day we come out here and practice, we work to improve ourselves, you don't want to end up regretting

A video of the NFL quarterback, Johnny Manziel, surfaced on Monday, November 23, holding a bottle of champagne and singing rap lyrics in a DJ's booth at a club in Austin, Texas.

Since the old days, the game of baseball has changed tremendously and players are held to a much higher standard than those players long ago were. However, one thing that will never change in this game is the struggles that players endure. Playing one hundred and sixty two games each and every season definitely has a significant impact on player’s performance. The biggest effect on performance is sleep. Sleep, or a lack of it, definitely has its effects on common people but for baseball players sleep is one of the most important things for them (“Lack of Sleep and Hectic Schedules Impact Baseball Players’ Performance and Longevity”). Many people, when they think of baseball, think that players have to be extremely talented when hitting,

Lee Iacocca once said “If you want to make good use of your time, you've got to know what's most important and then give it all you've got.” There are many brilliant organizations such as Black Girls Code and Girls Who Code that are devoted to bridging the gender gap between women and the tech industry. But there aren’t many organizations dedicated to closing the gap between males or males of color and the tech field. All Star Code is a unique organization attempting to fix the diversity gap where males of color are underrepresented. I believe that joining the All Star Code team is important because it is an organization whose vison is to build and encourage young men of color, especially those from low and middle income families. There are
