Change In Walter Payton's Life By Konnor Balon
Changes in Walter Payton’s Life by Konnor Balon There are a few changes to Walter Payton’s life that I would change.

First, I would change is for Walter not to grow up in segregated times. During this portion of his life, the blacks lived on one side of the town and the whites lived on another side of the town. I would make him grow up in a non-segregated time.

The next thing I would change is in Super Bowl XX, he did not score a touchdown. Mike Ditka, his coach said that was one of his biggest regrets. So I would make him score a touchdown.

Another thing I would change is he would be more successful in business after his NFL career. Walter really wanted to own a NFL team so I would make that happen.

    Ex Basketball Player By John Updike Summary

    After looking at the title of the poem “Ex-Basketball Player,” I assume it is about a former basketball player and his life now. After I read the poem, I find out that John Updike, the author, starts the first paragraph by describing a town. He tells about the trolley tracks and some of the stores, including a plaza and a garage. Then, the author goes on to introduce a character in the poem, Flick Webb, who helps in the garage in town. In the second paragraph, the author explains that Webb used to play for the town’s high school team, the Wizards. The author says, while scoring three hundred and ninety points, Webb was the best on the team. In the third paragraph, it tells how Webb now works in the garage shop. Sometimes he dribbles an inner tube around, but everyone remembers his past glory days on the court. As the poem comes to an end, bringing up the last paragraph, the author tells how Flicker Webb now spends his days. He hangs out at a luncheonette, plays pinball, and smokes thin cigars. Throughout this poem, there are connotations being used, an attitude portrayed, and a shift that occurs in the story being told.…

    "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut

    In "Harrison Bergeron" Kurt Vonnegut depicts a society in which everyone is mentally, physically, and socially equal. Throughout the history of our country, Americans have sought racial, gender, and socio-economic equality. On paper such a society seems ideal. Through the story one might infer that Vonnegut views the concept of total equality as ludicrous. Equality can be interpreted many ways. One point of view is the American belief that everybody should be treated equally and another view is the one represented in the story that everybody is equal. I completely agree with Mr. Vonnegut's view of the perfect society as being absurd.…
