Almost, all the time, he is going to be the best infielder with his glove and arm. Shortstops have to be very good because they get a lot of balls hit to them. They sometimes have to make plays on balls hit in the holes. The shortstop is the “general” on the infield. He has priority over all the infielders.
The company does this by promoting one of a kind baseball cards with each purchase. The text was persuasive because it tells you how you can trade the baseball cards with your friends and how they have cool facts on them. Any baseball fan would take advantage of this opportunity and that’s precisely who they were targeting. In this advertisement I see both Pathos and Ethos. Pathos refers to emotional appeal (Logos, Ethos and Pathos).
------------------------------------------------- A coach is someone to teach you, guide you, and make you a better person as well as a player. And whether you know it or not they make a big impact on your life, well at least mine did. Everyone has someone that they can go towards and look to when life gets hard. For me that was my softball coach. She has taught me so many things and has always been there for me on and off the field, she is someone that I can really look up to.
Games of softball and baseball are both observed by umpires who make sure the rules are followed and determine whether a player is out or safe, a ball is foul, and if a pitch is a strike or a ball, etc.. Finally, and most importantly, both sports are indicative of the U.S. pasttime, and are immensely popular to our nation today. People of all skill levels from little league to professional athlete can play of these sports, making them popular not only in the U.S., but around the world. These similarities between the two sports show that they are closely linked and not completely different as we tend to see them. These were just some of the similarities and differences between softball and baseball.
Among Gardner’s Intelligences I feel the ones most strongly related to me are bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, and interpersonal. Bodily–Kinesthetic intelligence is the control of one’s bodily movement. When I was a child my father coached me in softball. Every day I would practice on batting, pitching, or fielding. I became a very good softball player who eventually made it to nationals in an Amateur Softball Association league.
Gehrig has struggled through Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis yet still played baseball until he couldn’t handle it anymore. He has taught me that if you love doing something you don’t have to let anything stop you. Gehrig is a huge inspiration to me, my family and many other Americans. He has so much potential and he is brave and big hearted. I love him so much and look up to him.
In the line it explains itself what the “hand brushed across the bill of a cap” means. It means he understands how sacrifice has gotten him to being a great baseball player. This is how Bottoms uses simile in his poem to prove that practice makes perfect. The other literary device that Bottoms uses is imagery. Imagery is when the author uses words to make you create a mental image.
If we had none of this there would be no joy to softball. More reasons I draw strength from the softball field is because we have to learn how to get along. We also have to learn to hustle without hassle we will be lackadaisical and we out of it, so we learn hustle and give it your all. We also learn to think best about something and not look on the bad side. If everything you do you look on the bad side you will get nowhere, so my querencia taught we a lot and I am proud to say my querencia.
Through the screaming, the chanting, the hooting, and the hollering I have been instilled with a fundamental sense of teamwork that is vital to success in any field that I may pursue in the future. Through softball I have learned to become an effective leader and motivator. Often my team has been faced with signs of defeat and the morale of my fellow players drops from confident to hopeless. Whenever I see a teammate with her head hung low or hear a quiet dug out, I take on the responsibility to turn my team around.
I am in a job now where I can touch lives in a different way and be a positive influence. I have made a lot of friends through my work and by playing softball. I was teaching and showing my two children how to be confident, strong and independent. They were getting to witness first hand that with a strong family and faith; I was going to be alright. I did not let what the doctors had to say or my divorce bring me so far down that I would not have been able to recover.
