    Coach Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers made the statement “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” HAving read the story about Timm Rosenbach in The Main Event, I would infer that he would disagree with Lombardi’s statement.

Rosenbach himself suffered a concussion, a shoulder injury, and a year long ligament injury. Another reason Rosenbach would

    The poem “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” written by Coleridge and the book “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelly have a deeper connection then many may think. Both stories have many differences and similarities through the setting, theme, and characters. In these reads, both touch the same theme in a poetic way.

    Hugo. A story about an intelligent young boy struggling with finding the meaning of his life.

    In the novel Frankenstein, the real Monster is Victor himself. It’s simple to understand and very clear to see.

For example in Ch. 5, where he startled himself by his own creation and again in Ch. 11- Ch. 17 when the
