    He was instantly liked because of his easy going manner. He played basketball for the Iola Bulldogs. They were a Class 2A school during his last two years there. "He'd keep practices real light," said Iola's basketball coach then, Rob Stewart. "I'd get on him, and he'd give me the goofy smile." As a junior Chris averaged a triple double.

    I think Loewen chose the four quotes to get the reader to think about how important it is to have an understanding of the truth about our real history. Not the stories that are played out in history textbooks, but the real facts about American history. These quotes help set the stage for Lowen’s thesis by encouraging the reader to start to think about if what they were taught in school was really how it all happened. Loewen’s thesis is that history textbooks either misguide readers in the facts of American history or leave some of them out all together. In either case it creates a false sense of greatness for the story of the Pilgrims and the founding of America. I think Loewen’s thesis is the ninth paragraph after he asks the question “What has gone wrong”(para 8).…

Without any natural scorers your team will be hard pressed to win any games, and they naturally occupy the top two lines of the team. Most of their work is done in the offensive zone. These types of players are not known for what they do on the defensive side of the game and are often targeted by the other team for big hits or trash talk in an attempt to get them off their groove. The scorers are the players you want out on the ice for most situations, but especially for power play time. The most elite scorers in the league have no problem scoring 40 or more goals a season and are often the face of their respected franchise. They sell the most jerseys and put the butts in the seats, and often get the butts out of the seats after a spectacular goal.
