During the first round of the 1995 NBA playoffs‚ the Charlotte Hornets were down by one point against the Chicago Bulls with seconds left on the clock. Once Muggsy Bogues received the ball‚ Michael Jordan backed off him on defence and stated‚ “Shoot it‚ you f’ing midget.” Bogues’s shot was nowhere near the basket and the Charlotte Hornets were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. The following year‚ Muggsy Bogues announced his retirement and his coach believed that one play ruined his whole career since

that death is a subject of matter for Dickinson. This is profoundly shown throughout many of Dickinson’s poems but specifically in Emily Dickinson’s subtle observation and understanding of death that is shown in “I heard a fly buzz when I died.” Dickinson composed I heard a buzz fly when I died in 1862‚ a year of enormous fatalities during the American Civil War. Dickinson’s puritanical context juxtaposed with her fascination of nature and the rawness of life explains her conflict and tension

(Section 1) Earth Jam The set starts out with every member of the band coming out on stage one at a time. Some of the instruments I recognized and was familiar with‚ such as the saxophone‚ clarinet‚ bass‚ and drums. They introduced a variety of instruments that looked either homemade or sounded strange to me‚ like the electric banjo‚ drumitar‚ and synthesizers. There was a bit of scat vocals done by Victor Wooten as well. One thing I noticed in this song was the repetition. I think the bass line

Just some general first impressions/notes on Dickinson’s poems. "I heard a fly buzz - When I died" Macabre tone. The poem could mean one of two things: Either she is at someone’s funeral and seeing a fly or there is a fly buzzing as she herself is on her deathbed. The room itself is "as still as the air" between the "heaves" of a storm. People around her crying presumably represent the "heaves of a storm" breaking the stillness. The eyes around her had cried themselves out‚ and the breaths

My parents are about 5’5 and my sisters are about 5’3‚ while I am about 6’1. I don’t know where I get my height from‚ but when I look at my cousins from my dad’s side every single one of the guys are just about 6’0 or higher and the tallest being 6’6.

What you should be contemplating is the future and what you will miss. The worst thing about dying young is missing out on the greatest experiences in life. Two works that show that this belief is timeless are‚ “When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Be” by John Keats‚ written in 1818 and “Demons”‚ by Imagine

Emily Dickinson’s poem "I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died" poses a question to the reader "what is the significance of the buzzing fly in relation to the dying person?" In a mood of outward quiet and inner calm‚ the dying person peacefully proceeds to bestow her possessions to others‚ and while willing her possessions‚ she finds her attention withdrawn by a fly’s buzzing. The fly is introduced in close connection with "my keepsakes" and "what portion of me be assignable." The dying person has an obsession

John Keats’s poem‚ When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be‚ conveys the equivocal and elusive state of our futures. Yet in the poem‚ Keats provides‚ in a traditional Romantic fashion‚ a brutal‚ but incredibly honest depiction of the world. Keats offers a reminder of the state we exist in‚ leaving us with a lesson in perspective and also in a state of discomfort. Keats’ poem begins with a dominantly apprehensive tone mitigated by an underlying hopeful voice. The first line of the poem exactly mirrors
