Analysts and reporters often questioned Stern about this being a move to make the NCAA stronger and more competitive, he denied this and states “this was simply it a business decision for the N.B.A (Why Stern Does Not Want High
The team is introduced to a new member of their team from the Czech Republic, who is the coach’s new star. Drew has to overcome this new player and keep working to get to go and play college ball and possibly make it to the NBA. I really enjoyed this book.

In O, Oden James is a very popular basketball player who is looked upon by many staff and students who attend the prep school he goes to, including his coach, and father of Hugo (the adapted Iago), Duke Goulding. He chooses Mike Cassio to share his MVP award with, just as Othello chose Michael Cassio to be his leuitenant. Thus we have been given a reason as to why Iago and Hugo hate Othello and Oden so much. At the very end of the play, Othello makes a final speech before he kills himself during which he states the regret he has for what he has done. He asks the characters that remain to ‘Speak of me as I am” and remember him to be the person he truly was, not by the terrible mistakes he made.

In “Hip Hop planet,” an essay from national geographic magazine, James Mc Bride argues that “at its best hip-hop lay bare the empty moral cupboard that is our generations legacy.” He claims that this music makes “visible the inner culture of America’s greatest social problems.” He develops this claim by first a nightmare about her daughter announcing that she is getting married with the rapper and then realized that he is no different from the rapper. Then, he examines how hip-hop” exploded around the world as a language of youth resistance. Finally, he proves his belief with youth resistance. Finally, he proves his belief with some sobering statistics about society’s problems. Mc Brides purpose is to attempt to persuade baby boomers that hip
Political Socialization In My Life By T. Scott Dowlearn II American Government, National, State, Local I Houston Community College October 27, 2011 Growing up there was one topic that you did not discuss with my grandfather, politics. I distinctly remember shouting matches over had Ross Perot not ran in 1992 George H.W. Bush would’ve been reelected. Mind you I was eight years old at this time.
