NBA ESSAY
1) The Ward brothers and many individuals of the community had many different identities shown during the movie. The Ward brothers seemed to be very childish and a lot less socialized than most people. Their social self as well as living in a poor society is the main cause of their lack of intelligence and care free attitude.
2) I identified most people of their community to be considered “uppers”. Despite the accusation of Delbert Ward murdering his brother, William. The community seems to be very supportive to Delbert even though he is in a very complicated and difficult situation. They see him as a very kind and innocent man that was accused of something he’d never commit.
3) The main example of generalized other I noticed during the movie was the social class of the Ward brothers. They all grew up and lived in a shaft their whole lives and really isolated themselves with society. No one in the community notices the Ward brothers until after the murder charge. I believe that their hard conditions are the reasons they all sound uneducated and unintelligent.
4) There are many different perspectives throughout the movie, whether it be from the Ward brothers, the people of the community, the investigators, and so on. The phenomenon’s most people in the community select and organize are the history of the Ward brothers and the lack of evidence proving Delbert’s guilt. They see Delbert as an innocent and harmless old man without any evidence proving his guilt to the crime which is why most people believe that he is innocent. The phenomenon’s the investigators select and organize is Delbert’s confession of murdering his own brother, which he later denies. There are also many assumptions that William died in his sleep, choked, and murdered by suffocation.
5)
6) I believe there weren’t any actual evidence to prove that Delbert Ward murdered his own brother. I feel that it was right to keep him out of jail without absolutely knowing he was guilty of

    Priestley shows us that the older generation –Mr and Mrs Birling - are less ‘impressionable’ (as the inspector said) than the younger generation – Eric and Sheila. This means that they are less able to learn for their actions and change their ways. In the middle of the generations is Gerald, who portrays traits of both age groups at different times during the play.…

    “The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guy” by Bill Simmons, was a book only the Sports Guy could write. Save a few hundred pages for Simmons to inform the readers on how he became the basketball and Celtics fan he is today (hint: it was his dad choosing between a motorcycle and season tickets to the Celtics), why as a child he called himself Jabaal Abdul-Simmons, footnotes galore, his hatred for Isiah Thomas and Wilt Chamberlain, and many of the greatest “What-if’s” in basketball history. Other than that, Bill Simmons uses this behemoth of a book to indulge on his version of “The Secret” of basketball, winning championships, and gives his take on how the NBA Hall of Fame should be constructed. In a pyramid style ranking with five levels Bill Simmons has who he thinks should be where, as of 2009, and each level getting smaller and smaller due to the higher standard. It all ends with the 12 best of all time, sitting atop the pyramid like kings with Michael Jordan number one. Again there was no one other than Simmons to write this book. “You could dress me red, drop in into a Crips neighborhood, tell me that I have 12 minutes to start a high-caliber NBA conversation before somebody puts a cap in my ass...and I would…

    1.Brief Summary: Ordinary People is about the Jarrett family once a family of four –now of three- live a comfortable upper-mid-class lifestyle in suburban in Lake Forest, Illinois, during the 1970s. In good times, they can weather anything, but when a storm comes along, there are dangerous flaws that there are not aware of.

    Ever felt targeted? Witness someone be judged by how they spoke? Felt as if no one belongs? Is it because they dress, act, or learn differently or a certain way? Most young adults go through these types of struggles. Stereotypes are preconceived labels subjected on the public. When teenagers do things out of the ordinary, dress differently, or hang out with specific people they tend to be measured up into or against these stereotypes. A common occurrence in high school, these stereotypes that try to define teenagers, can affect them either positively or work against us in negatively. When people are labeled it is usually through a stereotype, they are judged on their appearance, attitude, personality, and friends along with many other superficial components. “Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.” (Manson) Characterization is a tool used to depict someone through the traits of their personality and association with those around them. Of course, with the clash of characters and imposed stereotypes, conflict between people is almost certain. Rivalry, a byproduct of conflict and the law of survival is always at play within society. S.E. Hinton uses these literary techniques of stereotypes, characterization and conflict throughout the novel of The Outsiders to depict they key theme of rivalry.…

    They have been growing up in a bad place with people who don’t have any good morals and portray selfishness, so the boys could potentially end up like everyone else. However, Ree demonstrates someone who doesn’t do drugs or sells drugs and constantly expresses to her brothers to have ideals and understand what’s important in life. Everyone located near Ree, Sonny and Harold remain a bad influence. Ree clearly does not want the boys to go down the drug dealer path when she tells Gail, “But he’ll make Sonny what I hoped he wouldn’t be. ‘Of course he will. That’s why he wants him. That’s why they all want sons. What about Harold?’ ‘Harold don’t shine for him’ (155). Their location and family could potentially make the boys into something that they shouldn’t inhabit which shows what Ree fears. Ree and the boys differ from the other family members that live near them. In a conversation with Little Arthur he asks Ree, “Wanna snout some crank? ‘Nope.’ ‘Blow some smoke?’ ‘Nope.” (55). Ree does drugs but not as much as everyone else in her family. She knows that she shouldn’t do them because if she does drugs her brothers will start doing them. The location that Harold and Sonny live in affects who they are. As they grow up they will undergo constant pressure to do and deal drugs. Hopefully with Ree being in their lives, she will shape the boys into not becoming dealers and to not get into drugs even though it will remain a challenge because they continually see what people do with it in their…

    The students in Woodrow Wilson Highschool under the class of Mrs. Gruwell were delinquents. They were part of gangs of every kind black, Latin and Cambodians. They were racist. They beat up people who aren’t in their gangs and they protect their own even if it isn’t worth protecting. My first conception of delinquents were that they will never change, they were born to be like that and nothing and no one can change them, but after watching the movie my whole idea of these people changed. The thing is, this people aren’t as useless and worthless as I thought, they can give and be so much more than what they were before. They are actually willing to learn but they didn’t know that at first. They only need a person that can show them they aren’t trash and they deserve what other people are receiving. They deserve to be treated equally.…
