The movie replicates a scenario many young boys are familiar with; playing baseball out on a vacant and worn-out field! Even the older audience finds the movie amusing due to the fact that it reminds them of back when they were kids and playing ball with their boys. The casting was incredible, the young boys acting out each character so well; it has to be one of the major reasons the movie turned into a classic. Movies need strong criteria to become a classic like the Sandlot. Casting is one very important piece to the puzzle.
Don’t you love going to baseball games? Great atmosphere corn dogs, hot dogs, beer, amazing fans if you have never been its something you must do. Every little boy at one time in there life aspires to be a baseball player, to play in the great outdoors. It’s adorable how they dress to the games with their baseball mitts ready to catch the ball. Great thing is even the older men and women do the same.
What made Ron so unbelievable was his smile and his laugh was something that could stop anyone for doing whatever and look to see what was so consumable with the happenings at the time. I recall several times on the approach that I heard Ron laugh so hard, I had to stop my approach and start over. Even though it could be distracting, it was simply Ron. Ron also bowled many local and national tournaments. He was a constant on our nationals teams and those guys do not have enough words for how great Ron was and the great times they had with him.
Since the Sheriff was hardly ever there they felt that they were less important than other towns. The Men had a dislike for the sheriff and the law. This caused them to take the law into their own hands whenever the sheriff was away. Doing this caused a number of problems for the town and ultimately led up to the deaths of innocent men. The men took all their problems into their own hands, but in reality their town never had any major problems and that’s why the sheriff was hardly ever there.
Many times they would dig through the trash just to find food to eat. “When other girls came in and threw their lunch bags in the garbage pails, I’d go retrieve them.” (pg173) They would have to steal or when food dropped off the back of a truck they would grab it to eat. Other children would taunt the Walls due to their house being nasty and falling apart. There was a hole in the yard for trash; kids would make fun of them for having a trash pit. Ernie Goad would say, “Y’all Walls don’t burn trash!
Moreover, they are to blame for all the harassment that is going on in the neighbourhood. However, the gang does not intimidate Donna Gloves, because she has probably experienced something a lot worse, when she says this statement like this: “I come from Newport, this is small fry.” Donna Gloves is not just only blaming the kids, but also their parents and the laws. She said in the article that the parents did not give them a good upbringing. Even though she is a single mother, she was able to bring her own son to be respectful. So according to her, the parents have a part of the blame.
In the story Lives of the Saints and the movie "Chocolat," we were able to find many examples of the archetype outcast. Each family in these two stories were somewhat isolated from the rest of the town in many different ways. Cristina was judged from the rest of the town because of her actions, causing her family to be seen as an outcast from the other townspeople. In Chocolat, Vianne and her daughter were seen as outcasts due to the fact that she was not religious and didn't go to church like everybody else. Cristina and Vittorio are rejected from other townspeople in many different ways.
Calvin and his son Conrad find is hard or next to impossible to communicate with Beth. If Beth had agreed to seek professional help by a third-party, which in the movie she had no intentions would have helped her in many ways. Beth was very unwilling to share her feelings with anyone. For this reason Beth found it very hard to open up to anyone in comfort, which is caused by her denial and suppression. To conclude, it is
Kalan Lamothe Mrs. Sims ENG 3UI October 10th/2013 Freedom Moving to new country for freedom is tough. In his short story, “The Strangers that Came to Town”, Ambrose Flack is showing that true freedom is about being accepted. This is shown by how the kids in the town treated the Duvich kids at school, as well as how the people who the Duviches traded with, and came in contact with treated their family, and how Andy and Toms family treated the Duviches. Firstly, the school kids mocked and harassed the Duvich kids. Even though they tried to keep to themselves the Duvich kids were harassed in school.
Many of the victims never report the crime because the perpetrator is a family member or friend of the family. Also I found there is little to no resource for victims to recover from the sexual trauma, such as mental health services, lack of cultural knowledge or cultural sensitivity, lack of interpreters and other outreach programs. The disruption of tribal tradition set the stage for addictions to alcohol, substance abuse, incest, violence, and sexual abuse.

It is important that individuals, family members, and society need to break the cycle of sexual assault by addressing these violent acts that cause unhealthy, damaging, and long-term
