And fear the time when the strikes stop while the great owners live—for every little beaten strike is proof that the step is being taken.” | Pg.151 | This is one of my favorite quotes from the book. It was odd at first that Steinbeck started giving war a positive light, however after reading it over I completely agreed with the quote. Man is constantly moving forward step by step. This also reminded me of how in the book Tom was just trying to put “one foot in front of the other” so that he could deal with his situation.

Lord Chesterfield’s apprehensive warning shows the adoration he has for his young son, who has traveled far away from his home to receive a college education. By using anaphora and metaphor, he is informing his son that the world he is about to dive into will not always be temperate, but can easily get hot. Chesterfield, just like any other dad, truly has his son’s best interest at heart. The author’s diction demonstrates how he understands the trials and tribulations that his son will imminently be experiencing. He “know{s}” that “advice {is} generally” “unwelcome” and he “know{s}” that its not “followed”, however he “know{s}” that teenagers still “want it.” By using anaphora he is telling his son that he accepts the fact his advice will be rejected on the outside, but will be stored in a memory bank on the inside.

Slowly time passed and it was time, it was time for the big game.

The Fighting Irish won that game, upsetting the Gators and all of their fans. Step two, Tackle Adversity. When you get knocked down, and you will, get back up.
I looked at the other team, they looked so good, but I knew we had the chance to beat them. I had never seen so many multi-cultured kids on a football team before, I was shocked but excited! They started the game with a toss off that we won, and we got the punt return. I was confused because the referee was yelling at me asking for a football. I was looking around for the footballs; he got impatient and started the game with T.C.
Momentum in sports is a game-changing factor. It can make an underdog beat the powerhouse team, or with two evenly matched teams meet momentum will usually be the deciding factor. According to the journal of sports psychology momentum is defined as a positive or negative change in cognition, physiology, affect, and behavior caused by precipitating event or series of events that result in a shift in performance (Taylor & Demick, 2008). Perfect examples of momentum shifts are in football, going back to Monday night football a few nights a go when the dolphins played the saints.
