People who attend the University of Kansas are either told of the story of Allen and his legend as one of the greatest leaders, coaches, and friends. The cheering crowd at a big rival game or even at just an exhibition basketball game will have even the mildest basketball fan smiling and amazed at the seeming presences of a great leader. The shirts of many students read “Beware of the Phog” and the building name of Allen Fieldhouse causes one to remember what an influential and great coach Dr. Forrest “Phog” Allen really was and still is after his death.

(About ms) Many people who have tried all types of treatments, but have not gotten any results tend to try alternative medicines. My dad felt like he owed it to himself when he heard about a new “bee” treatment. This involved having bees sting the neck, along the spine, top of shoulders, top of feet and hands three times every other day and increase to twenty times a day. The bee venom is supposed to “wake up” the nerves that are either not or slowly traveling through your central nervous system. (Moyer, interview) Although this particular treatment did not work, studies today show great hope for the future, at a Multiple Sclerosis conference Dr. Caroline Whitacre discussed new discoveries in MS, “Today, we are making progress in virtually every field that impacts MS.” (Dr. Whitacre, 2008) Researchers have discovered two new genes that make people susceptible to whatever triggers MS.
The only reason I choose this poem as a topic for my first paper is that in my point of view, I have a lot of common points with Flick. I really loved this poem and I will try to explain to you why, in this paper. John Updike’s poem “Ex-basketball player” suggests that whatever the feelings are, happiness or sadness, both the man and the town he lives in, become dependants on each other for reaffirmation of the past. The poem is built around the character Flick Webb, who was a famous highschool basketball player. But now, he is confronted to the monotony of pumping gas in the small town where he was born.
Watching Kobe play basketball during the 2010 NBA playoffs made me want to try out for my high school basketball team. I decided that I was going to dedicate that summer to emulate Kobe. Just like Kobe, I was fueled to be the best. I had that same internal fire burning within me and the same drive that was going to propel me onto a varsity basketball roster. It is common knowledge that the fear of failure is what drives Kobe to his infinite pursuit of excellence.
I promised myself never to let it happen again. The next day I turned on the T.V and to my surprise the Raptors were playing. A wonderful situation to test my new “will power”. Just then my evil sister walked by, this time with one of her girlfriends. I recognized her, the best female basketball player that played for Jarvis.
Tiffany Johnson Laura Govia Composition 2 October 10, 2012 Shatter dreams in John Updike’s “Ex-Basketball Player” The title of the poem really tell you what the poem is all about.

Kristin Galante Writing and Rhetoric I October 3, 2011 Fearless I am the most indecisive person I know. I cannot choose what to wear, eat, listen to, or even say most of the time. I go through millions of answers every time a question is presented to me. I am a nervous, indecisive person, but there’s one aspiration that I know I am certain about. I know passion.
We were able to talk to one of the students at Columbia High about the acne breakout that happened the previous day. The student was so mortified she refused to have a photograph taken at this time but she did talk to us about the possible cause of this mysterious breakout. She quoted, “I’ve never had acne before!” “I woke up yesterday morning, brushed my teeth, than I looked up in the mirror and saw all these zits. My face looks I have a severe case of chicken pox! I’m so embarrassed; I walk around with a scarf on my face!” We had ask her if she thought the cause was the never ending work the her and her fellow classmates our assigned.
Who wants to be a Winner? I hate lima beans. They are a gross green color, taste like old water, and I just hate them. For a whole 3 months my father and I worked on a science fair project in advance during my 5th grade year in Grade School. 2 years prior I had signed up for the school wide science fair and did a project on molding bread to find the best environment to make your baked goods last longer.
