Foul

Down the grass hill past the electrical box, once used as a bike jump, lies a place that holds many memories and a special place in my heart. The third base line fence is a little bent, due to hanging on it and trying to do many pull-ups on it. Our bikes lie wherever we dropped them to go play along the third base line. Behind the arched backstop behind home plate, the almost rotted bench perches up on the falling bricks. Underneath, grass so patted down it wouldn’t need to be mowed, yet still…

When I was in sixth grade I was playing baseball and I hit one over the fence, the umpire said it was a foul ball. If I was playing cricket I would still be in play. Baseball and cricket are kind of similar, yet very different. In cricket they have different equipment than baseball. And the fields are different. For example there is not an out of bounds when you hit the ball. In baseball you have a round bat cleats helmet and a glove for one hand. In cricket your have two shin pad, hemet, two…

is Gods instrument, that he is chosen, leading us to also believe that his unique ways, looks, and beliefs are for the sole reason that he truly is chosen.

It isn’t until later, because the book isn’t in order, that we find out Owen had an encounter with the angel of death. Owen tells…

One of the most iconic and used phrases in the English language is, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” English speakers learn it from a young age and continue hearing it for years to come; it permeates well-known pieces of literature, articles of media, and quite a few lectures from parents and guardians to their young ones. But how often to people really think about what the phrase means? Is it conveying that one can only truly find revenge if they have “cold” hearts, or does it mean that…

assumed that their skin was tanned from excessive labor. Not only that, a dark skin color would put one in an equal footing as a marginalized African-American slave. Looking at the “blackness” of Queequeg, readers might assume that he is an uncivilized, foul, and demonic character.

Another popular paradox is when the witches say, “When the battle’s lost and won” (I.i.4)…

school. A few months ago I was playing in a rival game that honestly changed my life. We were down by two points, with about ten seconds left when one of my teammates got hurt and fouled. I was called in to take her place and could choose to shoot her foul shots, you can imagine the fear that I felt knowing I had to make both of those shots or we would lose. Although I felt fearful I knew that I wanted to be the courageous one and be the one to shoot the shots. My coach chose me and I stepped up…
