I'll include writing on Dan becoming a warrior and how he goes through three different parts of a hero's journey as well, which include; Departure, Fulfillment, and Return. Joseph Campbell talks about a hero's adventure may begin as a mere blunder or one may me only casually strolling when some passing phenomenon catches his eye, for example; unable to sleep one night Dan wanders the street and sees a Texaco gas station open. Running it is an older man with a twinkle in his eye, and the two get to talking, thus begins the 'Departure' portion of a hero's adventure. Dan asks the man his name and is told, “My name doesn't matter, neither does yours. What's important is what lies beyond names and beyond questions.” These obscure remarks prompt Dan to give the man the name 'Socrates'.
My schedule consisted of waking up early every day and taking a 1.5 mile run, followed by taking 500 jump shots, a similar exercise Kobe performed during his high school career. Conquering the fear of failure became an imaginary bond between Kobe and I. I knew that working hard all summer honed my physical and mental edge on the court. When tryouts came around, the odds were against me, as the team roster had been established, but I did my best Kobe impersonation and played harder than anyone else on the court. I made the team because just like Kobe, I wasn’t going to fail. This experience taught me to have fortitude, and to always strive for my dreams.
Each March Madness creates an Emeka Okafor, Joe Alexander, or Andrew Bogut. This is where NBA teams get excited because they’ve been watching them excel on the collegiate level which is tough because mostly everyones goal is to take that next step into the NBA which is another concern Stern had was players coming out of high school and turning out to be a bust in the pros like Robert Swift. It’s a huge transition from High School basketball and Professional Basketball. 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

In The 'Burbs, Hanks uses the same excuse to investigate the home of his creepy neighbors. How Tom Hanks lets a room full of adults know that he has to pee. And in the art-house movie Road to Perdition, he uses his overactive bladder as a spidey-sense when he escapes a hit man by excusing himself to take a whiz. OK, this is still The 'Burbs. The footage of Hanks grabbing his penis in Road to Perdition wasn't nearly as funny.
Couch Carter pushed the boys to be there best and to be the best they had to learn to run a whole game so carter made them to running all the time.

However almost instantaneously he attempts to bribe an official Dentist’s son – Luo; this gives the scene a serious element as we are alerted about the seriousness of the Headman himself. From page 122 onwards the incident/episode truly begins as Dai Sijie creates a fantastic universe of originality. Firstly Dai Sijie enables Luo to use ‘Pseudo-Scientific Complex Lexis Phrases’ to give Luo a touch of slyness as well as to confuse the headman; ‘The dentist’s son declared with an appropriately scientific air – the owner must have suffered a bout of syphilis’, this is humorous as we all know that Luo is just fabricating. We are also bombarded with ugly revealing details and horrific and disgusting descriptions of the headman’s mouth (‘dark pulpy hole’, tongue and teeth. The two similes revealed at the beginning of the first paragraph effectively describe the headman’s mouth and teeth as rocks and caves; ‘Blackened inflamed gums like flakes of prehistoric basalt’ / ‘Tobacco-stained canines were like snaggled rocks of diluvian travertine’.
During these practices, I would often hear senior, Sammie Bane, say, “Oh my gosh, why are we still doing these same drills over and over again?” In response to that, Coach Rieckers would reply, “Do you want to go to state and earn respect from the community?” Growing up in a small town, everyone knew everything about each other. This was also the same concept when it came to sports at BCHS. Brownstown was always known for great volleyball, football, and boys’ basketball teams. These teams always went far into the tournament every year in strive to win a state championship title. The same was not known for the girls’ basketball team to achieve.
