Kerry C. Davis, II Ms. Nelmark ENG 101 1/25/13 How I Learned to love Football In Felisa Rogers’s “How I learned to love football,” she begins by describing how her husband Rich likes to tell her about football. Rogers then discusses her athletic inability and how she and her family never cared much for sports. Rogers is a freelance writer and a graduate of Evergreen State College and a former teacher. The purpose of this passage is to show how the author found out how to have love for something that she pretended to love but never really cared for it. As a young lady growing up, “Rogers was raised to believe that football and baseball were the province of Neanderthal types who didn’t even know the difference between Carl Jung and Carlos Castaneda” (530).
Three years ago, because of his age and declining health, Henry hired his daughter, Abigail, as a management trainee with the intention that she would eventually succeed him as president of the company. Abigail, a Harvard MBA graduate and an amateur marathon runner, has a number of new product ideas she would like the company to introduce. She believes Tasty Foods has not stayed current with general food trends, especially the trend toward low fat and low sodium content products and the introduction of athletic drinks to replace essential body fluids lost during exercise. While Tasty Foods’ financial position is still healthy, Abigail believes the company must introduce new products directed toward the “athletically inclined and health conscious” public to keep its position in the marketplace. She believes that if the company doesn’t “get on the bandwagon” soon, the firm will see a decline in revenues and lose its position in the marketplace.
”Her parents and sister were going to a barbecue at an aunt’s house and Connie said no, she wasn’t interested, rolling her eyes to let her mother know just what she thought of it.” Connie obviously puts a wall between her and her family. She does this so she doesn’t have a conscious. So when she comes home after her nightly rendezvous she doesn’t have to feel guilty because she simply tells herself she doesn’t care what they think. They are all losers and will never be as good as her. Connie rightfully believes her mother is jealous of her.

Now she develops the family by making Walter feel proud about being able to run the family the way he wants it. She shows sacrifice in giving up not only her insurance money, but also her ability to run the family. Another example of Mama developing the family is when Ruth and Beneatha are talking in the house. Beneatha rambles on about how she doesn't believe in God and there is no such thing as God. Ruth and Mama try to calm her down and tell her not say such things, but Beneatha still talks about the silly idea of God.
It is mean and rude, but it discourages the girls from trying out for the football team or wrestling team. It has been like that for years and no one should cross that line because it isn’t the traditional way. I broke the tradition I was the first girl to play football for the Snake River Panthers. Plus I had total support from my family. I asked my parents what they thought of me playing football.
Is Hunting Ethical and Moral Is hunting ethical and moral, or is it cruel and unnecessary? Hunting has been a way of life and a part of human survival for many thousands of years. As time passes and ways of life change, so does the ethicality of hunting. Our culture and society has changed in just the last hundred years. Instead of relying on the land to supply food for us, people can go to their local grocery store and buy pre packaged, ready to cook meat.
Traditional gender roles and the workplace From the beginning of time, traditional gender roles have existed all around the world and they vary between cultures. But what is a traditional role?
