Life is just a glorified game. I like to think of it as a softball game. When a batter steps up to the plate they don’t know what is going to be thrown at them (literally). They have to decide what pitch they are looking for according to the count even before they step into the batter’s box. Sometimes though, a pitch is thrown at the batter that they are not expecting. In life, we are also thrown pitches we might not be prepared for. This might even mean we do the one thing that no one likes

It was the bottom of the 7th and the count was 3-2. I stood impatiently at the plate with the bases loaded. As I was glaring at the pitcher, he hurled his 85 mph fastball on the outer half of the plate. The thundering sound of the bat making contact with the ball made everyone in the park stop to see where the ball was going.

The team was small but strong. The whole game the crack of the bat hitting the ball was atrocious. The other team had been hitting dingers the whole game. Somehow we had managed to keep the score to only five to three. The game was coming to an end because of the time limit. I could sense the umpires wanted the game to be over so we had to pick it up quickly. The time was running out, “Five minutes left!” yelled the home plate ump. We took the field without taking the time to warm up. First up to

Leverage One type of leverage I have in this negotiation is negative leverage because I can go somewhere else to obtain the equipment I need, and therefore make them worse off by not giving them my business. Thus they will lose out on all that potential revenue. Scott company has positive leverage because they have all the equipment I need, and it's the only company that Williams had confidence in to carry out the plan. Scott has negative leverage if there is a trial because if they win my company

Many people thought my team was not good. The sun is up, and it is game day. "McKenzie,wake up!" yelled Mom. When Mckenzie wakes up she puts on her softball clothes. She is ready to go play her game. Today you win or go home. My team has not lost a game yet,and it is double elimination. Here we are at our softball game,and on the field. "Am I going to be pitching?" asks Mckenzie. "No,not this game." said Coach. I am playing right field,and the ball gets hit to

Balsa Wood Glider Project for AERO 1020: Theory of Flight Goal The goal of my glider is for it to sustain flight with an overall steady glide path to the ground, and have an efficient lift to weight ratio. Also, in completing my project, I want to strengthen my general understanding of the theory of flight and the forces that act upon an aircraft in flight. Glider Information There is a great deal of factors that go in to play when trying to get an aircraft to sustain flight. However, research has

Is Mayella powerful? Mayella is an uneducated white female who comes from a exceptionally poor family. Power is to have the ability to control one’s own life or the lives of others.Therefore power can be perceived differently through the lenses of gender, class, and race. In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the character Mayella Ewell, portrays an interesting model of power. Mayella is not powerful in terms of class,gender, or race.

Hay Fever was a comical play with a strong message. The actors throughout this play steadily used others to gain their own attention. The message this play left behind after many laughs was do not use others, plain and simple. The space was a well-constructed thrust stage however, the stage was not raised off the ground and the seats appeared to be mobile which lead to the belief that this is an Environmental Theater. As for the layout of the stage, there was a couch and a table in center stage

Power and Control The desire for power stems from lack of it, the need for power leads to attempts to have authority over everyone in his sight. Billy Dent thrives on dominance over others, like Jasper and G. William Tanner. Craving power over people is a trait often associated with the morally corrupt, and there is no character in the novel with more limited morals than William Cornelius Dent.
