Both the excerpt and video mention how important the world series was to him‚ but even though that is one similarity‚ the excerpt talks about of people of such importance to him for example‚ Rachel‚ his wife‚ and Branch Rickey.

I had heard talk of a mother’s love for her child before the day I had my own. I’d heard stories of a mother that gives her life to save her child’s.

confessional poems “I had been hungry all these years” and “I gave myself to him” by Emily Dickenson have a unique economy of style which actively challenges these dichotomies in the notion of “belonging”. Moreover Dickenson is contrasted with Annie Proulx’s shocking short story “55 miles to the gas pump” which promotes the view that geographic and social isolation‚ taken to extremes‚ can result in destructive and macabre outcomes.

ago we had to move. To me it was a huge change in my life‚ it wasn’t gonna be the same once we were gone. All the memories would be left behind and we would make new ones. When I found out we would have to move I was upset. We had worked so hard to make that house look how we wanted it to. We built things that we hoped would stay there for a while‚ but when we were told we had to move everything we built we wouldn’t be able to take with us.
