The Sun in a Net

our careers. My legs trembling, heart racing, and my palms covered with a thin layer of sweat from the 80 degree sun. I served the ball and it flew to the other side of the court a million miles per hour. I stood there amazed to see that I stole the point with an ace, with my opponent shocked at the brilliance of the serve. The next point started off with a frustrating shot into the net, time for my second serve. As I stood there on the verge of losing this important game, my whole life flashed…

He looked down to see what he tripped over, and found a skinny, wild rabbit tangled in a homemade net, exhausted from trying to escape. His first instinct was to rescue it, but he was starving and actually loved the taste of rabbit. “Mae, I’m so sorry, but I have to.” Then, without untangling the fear-paralyzed rabbit, he snapped its neck in one quick…

first several years of his career between the Boston Celtics and Phoenix, the Arkansas product was not one of the hottest prospects on the market. A strong playoff performance for the Suns in the 2005 playoffs sold the Hawks on the restricted free agent. With Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, and Shawn Marion, the Suns didn’t match and the Hawks landed a borderline franchise cornerstone. BOSTON CELTICS: James Posey, 2 years/$7 million (2007) I looked over the last 15 years and thought, “James…

when I used to fish as a young buck. My arms are burning from holding my pole for what seems like an eternity. The chilly breeze hit my face, and it sent a chill down my spine. It was the perfect day for some fishing off of the dock. The warm, fuzzy sun warmed my back as I sat on the dock in my ancient, white rickety chair that only my 6-year old self could fit in. The breeze provided the essential walleye chop for me and my father to catch some big…

finish them. The second half started with the same lack of gusto as the first; a lot of ho-hum chances and lackadaisical passes by both sides. Then, like the sun peering out through a cloudy sky, we got a moment of brilliance in the 66th…

and it was for the fishermen too, as well as it was for all the people of the beach neighborhood that were there on the shore. To finish the story, this is what happened: When we came back and started to haul in the nets I saw so many fish! They were jumping everywhere outside the net that had a span of a least fifty, sixty maybe even a hundred meters. It was kind of hard to estimate it, especially in the exciting atmosphere that at that time was going…

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is one power technology of those attractive new energy storage technologies. It aggregated those vehicles with battery (Hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and plug- in hybrid electric vehicles) into the grid as a distributed resource of energy load, storage and generation device. It is not only adding the ability to deliver power from vehicle to the grid, but also can apply the power flow (Lund & Kempton, 2008). V2G technology provides potential solutions…

Solar energy is one of the oldest forms of energy use as our early ancestors used heat from the sun to start fires to cook food are heated rocks to provide warmth through the night. These two scenarios are both examples of solar renewable energy. You may have noticed some of your neighbors with shinny panels on top of their roof. Well your neighbors are going green and trying to get away from non-renewable energy which hurts the environment by the pollution that comes from using oil or nuclear…

my left I see a club dropped by a guard and run over to Kojo. Thud Thud, a massive wave crashes into the boat. Looking around trying to find Kojo, when I suddenly hear"Faraji!!! Help, I'm overboard," Looking over to see Kojo's foot tangled in some net on the side of the boat, I climb down the side of the boat and try breaking Kojo loose. "Faraji, look in the distance brother," Kojo said dazedly. Looking into the distance of the ocean, a huge wave is nearing the ship. "I'm getting you out…

Walk,’ it states, “Goldfinches shine as they float through the air.” This contributes to a peaceful and joyful mood because it shows that the Goldfinches shine in the sun and the sun, in most literary pieces, the symbolizes happiness, freedom, and other things that create a happy mood. In ‘There is No word for Goodbye’ it states, “the net of wrinkles into wise black pools of her eyes.” This shows that this is in place where there is a serious conversation between Sokoya and her niece/nephew.
