Such a strong proclamation cost King his life but we still recognise his actions today as a main factor for the equality of African-Americans, and many other races. This shows that King prioritised the wealthfare of his family and loved ones over himself to achieve equality for them all. Similarly in Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’, the character John Proctor casts aside ‘[his] good name’ in order to save the community of Salem from the injustice of the witch trials. Proctor believed that the group of girls who were making the accusations were all lieing in order to divert the attention from themselves to everyone else. The only way for Proctor to stop the ‘crazy little children’ from ‘jangling the keys to the kingdom’ and show how the law has been corrupted by Danforth was to sacrifice himself.
Witness Paper 2 Blue Mountain State The show “Blue Mountain State” deals with a football team that doesn’t only focus on extracurricular sports, but they take living the college life to the extreme. The episode I am about to discuss deals with Thad Castle getting poked in the butt by a fellow teammate. Thad castle is the main character in this TV series. The show starts out with a football team practicing on a weekend, so this episode will not only be about the college football, but the “behind the scenes “. Thad Castle gets poked in the butt during this practice, and he instantly freaks out and wants to get to the bottom of this awful happening.
When he returns home, Lyman notices that his once carefree brother is now “jumpy and mean.” It’s obvious that the war has changed and traumatized Henry, most likely because he was a prisoner of war. Lyman and his mother consider taking Henry to go see a doctor, but figure that it would only do more harm than good. Lyman then gets the idea of banging of the red convertible (which he had kept in perfect condition while Henry was at war) to give Henry a goal and something to look forward to. Henry fixes up the car close to perfection and the two brothers go out for a drive like the summer many years before. At a creek bed, Henry admits that he knew what Lyman did to the car, they fight, and eventually Henry jumps into the water and the stream carries him away.
They have realized that we need to make a change and disrupt the status quo. Even though many occupiers do not seem to have a clear agenda, I believe that they can eventually make a difference if they can come up with clear ideas and work together to overcome the power elite (Dreier,
You would think being the best football player in the school, I would get more respect from my peers but nope everyone calls me the dork who has a 4.0 and plays football.

The athletes are encountered with pressure that is unfair and high demand from the public which makes the decision between right and wrong harder for them and it is why Alex took steroids once they were offered. So Moller’s argument comes down to whether or not the blame are being put on the players. But since the decision lies in the players hands, the public affects their decision almost provoking it which shifts the blame to the public. Also Moller uses a logos argument to illustrate some players that were also cheating and the extent they were willing to gain an edge. Some of them were Sammy Sosa, Johnny Damon, Pete Rose and others.
Blake McKenzie 18 September 2012 Everything Happens For A Reason In “A Homemade Education” Malcolm X made a decision about his education that enabled him to be the political activist that he is known for today. Malcolm X states “I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life” (201). During my sophomore football season I sat the bench hoping for a shot at the starting job. The opportunity never came therefor it was time for a change. I decided to start the second semester of the 2009-2010 school year at John Paul II High School, one of the local private schools.
Although steroids may improve performance, they will continue to harm athletes and ruin sports as we know it if restrictions are not more strictly enforced. Anabolic steroids are being abused in many different ways such as orally, injection, or by a gel or cream in order to improve athletes’ performances. In today’s society, professional athletes are using anabolic steroids to gain an advantage against their opponents, and the young children that idolize them are in turn also abusing steroids. What all these athletes do not understand is the harm that abusing steroids are doing to them. I feel that people need to stop abusing steroids because it not only hurts you hormonally, but it will also hurt their musculoskeletal and cardiovascular system,
What could have been a hug twist in his life was the night that his football team won the state championship the whole team went out to celebrate the victory while one of his teammates was sloppy drunk and the other team that got beat just so happened to show up.

This incident could have changed his whole life not only would it have stripped his college scholarship but it would have illuminated his chance of going into the military.
