Pittsburgh vs. Cincinatti
Pittsburgh versus Cincinnati
Living in Pittsburgh for the whole eighteen years of my life so far has been an amazing experience all around, especially since I only live fifteen minutes away from downtown. I have so many great memories from when I was growing up. My favorite memory is the when I watched the fireworks for the first time I can remember after the Pirates Game at PNC Park. I couldn’t imagine leaving my city (Pittsburgh) to live anywhere else. I have only been out of Pittsburgh one time, and that was to go to Cincinnati, Ohio. To me, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are overall very similar. Although they are very similar, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati have many differences as well.
Both cities are all about their sports teams. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh both have an MLB (Major League Baseball) team and an NFL (National Football League) team. Cincinnati’s baseball team is called the Cincinnati Reds. The Cincinnati Reds became part of MLB in 1881. Since then their stadium has been called the Great American Ballpark. On the other hand, Pittsburgh’s baseball team is called the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates were founded in 1891. Currently their stadium is called PNC Park. Both baseball teams are placed in the Central League Division of baseball. The Cincinnati Bengals is the NFL team for Cincinnati. They were founded in 1968.The name of their stadium is the Paul Brown Stadium. The NFL team in Pittsburgh is called the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers were founded in 1933. Their stadium is currently called Heinz Field. I have been to many Steelers and Pirates games in Pittsburgh at their respected stadiums. Unfortunately, I was only able to visit outside of the Reds and Bengals Stadiums. The reason for this is because the only reason we went down to the city was for a Segway Tour that took us all around Cincinnati. One very big difference between the sports in the two cities is that Pittsburgh has an NHL (National Hockey League) called the Pittsburgh Penguins. They

    Columbus vs Smith

    Christopher Columbus, John Smith, and William Bradford had many stories to tell during their explorations of the new world. Their depictions of the new world were seemingly different and each explorer possessed an ego that worked both as a strength and as a weakness to their determination of exploration. Each explorer seemed to use hyperbole and embellishment to glorify their own accomplishments. Columbus’ letters emotionally differ from the first to the fourth letter in almost a visually depressing manner. His first letter shows an explorer filled with an emotional high seeking to gain riches and fame, describing each illustrious detail of his experience as elaborate as possible. Words that seem to sell the newly discovered lands in such a depiction that would make his fame and rewards seem inevitable. This description is far different than his last letter which his words show an aged explorer seeking to save his reputation and seeking to just ride away in the sunset and live peacefully for the remainder of his life. It seems that he is taking a polite path in which to illustrate to the Monarchs the sacrifices that were made and the lives lost to achieve the goals of seeking the new world.…

    When I think of my hometown I think people being shot, robbed, and raped. One of the biggest problems in our town was a man being given the death penalty for raping and mutilating a woman. When you cross the line between Albany and Leesburg, it is like stepping from a gang movie into Sweet Home Alabama. Albany is the murderous blood stricken world of gangs and thugs.

    After winning their respected leagues, the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox faced off in the most popular sporting event in America at the time (Cook 3). Baseball during the 1910s was very popular. This was because the Untied States was at war from 1914 to 1919. Americans turned to the great sport of baseball to escape the harsh reality of what was going on overseas (Asinof 12). In large cities like Cincinnati and Chicago, the need to find an outlet for entertainment was easily obtained by spending the afternoon in the ballpark (Asinof 13). Both teams were supported by two of the most loyal fans in the country. Both Chicago and Cincinnati had tremendous fans. Baseball was the pride and joy for these cities in 1919. The loyalty went far beyond city limits. Fans throughout the teams respected states showed support (Cook 14).

    People always say that living in a large city is a great quality, they like it because it let them get a lot of benefits; in my opinion, every place has its drawbacks; there is no perfect place that we can say: “It is formidable”. In the other hand, they are people who hate living in a large city, and they prefer the small one. As far as I live in Raleigh, I do not like it due to three reasons: change of weather, few means of transportation, and quiet life.…

    Baseball is a sport that we as American have played since the early 1800s. This is why I thank we call it the American favorite pastime. Here is a look at why I thank baseball should be played by every red blooded American. Throughout this paper I will give you some comparisons to baseball and football. Hopefully I can influence you to play baseball instead of football. Here are some of them; baseball is played in the summer time when the weather is great, warm nights and long days. That makes it great baseball weather. On the other hand Football is played in the dead winter when it is cold outside and the days are very short. But that does not stop the American people from loving the both game; some people love those type of weather. Whether it’s cold or hot both games are fun to watch. But I thank that it would be better to sit on a warm day with no weather compilation and watch a baseball game than to sit in the cold freezing weather watching a football game.…
