Pepettes are a mostly female pep club. The main purpose of Pepettes is to promote school spirit and loyalty to their home high school, but for Odessa, their main purpose is to serve or satisfy the football players they were assigned. It shows how important football is in Odessa because pepettes are practically volunteered servants for football players in Odessa. Another example why football is culturally important is football is a masculant sport can considered a rite of passage to manhood. Football is contact sport and you have to physically knock down people if you want to advance in the game.
Along with countless other Americans, my falls are dedicated to football. The only difference is that the team I commit myself to is not composed of colossal figures bent on inflicting pain on one another. No, my team is the Barrington High School class of 2009 Powder-puff team. I am the head coach of a football team composed of thirty high school senior girls. Powder-puff football, a game that pits junior girls against senior girls was a tradition that Barrington High School lost some time in the mid 1990’s.

Annie Dillard on The Chase In her autobiography, An American Childhood, Annie Dillard shares her views on the experiences that children go through and how they see and observe situations, relating to her own childhood. In The Chase, a particular chapter from the memoir, Dillard has the audience captivated by the sudden and often swift movement of running desperately through snow-filled backyards, and icy winter streets as a mean to avert the chaser. Like many of her other works, this piece shows unprecedented enthusiasm for life and the skill used to express it (121). Dillard was much of a tomboy growing up. She played multiple sports including football and baseball.
It examines how women in middle-class America, mainly married women who don’t work full time, have adopted roles in the home not much different from those of Victorian England; roles of child-rearing, subservience, and kowtowing to male dominance. It begins with an analysis of two towns, Vanport City, a World War II era two era town built for working women with husbands fighting in the war, and Levittown, the first true post-World War II American suburb. This suburb failed, however it created a standard for women in America that still prevails today. It also erased almost all the advances women made in the workforce during the war.

I was also told that I would be running against one of the nation’s best runners. When I met my component, Hailey McIntosh, she told me that she has won every race she’s ever been in and that she would most likely get the
