    My service learning project was Octoberfest. I helped set up the group’s table prior to Octoberfest starting. I restocked the candy as it was needed. I managed one of the games we had which was Boo’s bowling. One of my group members and I set up the bowling pins each time the kids knocked them down. It happened every two or three minutes.

    “There Will Be Blood” Let me begin by saying that the movie‚ “There Will Be Blood‚” was completely different than I had originally thought it would be. I knew very little about the storyline of the movie and had very little background information. I guess all I really presumed what that ‘there would be blood;’ which did not happen much either. Almost immediately after beginning the film‚ I was less than amused by the look of it. The plot begins in a desolate field; no people‚ just music. I had

    Balls We tend to think that bowling is a very simple and boring sport played by only older men.

This social status is dependent upon their bowling average‚ type of ball used‚ and the

    Bowling for Columbine Emily Organization: 1. Example: Many examples are used throughout this film to prove the overall thesis of Americans revolve around gun violence. For example‚ Moore went to a bank‚ opened up an account and received a free gun. This symbolizes the absurd love for guns Americans have. A bank handing out guns that people can turn around and rob the bank with is a terrible idea‚ but thats the logic of the United States. Kids growing up around violence can be influenced to try

    Never Left In the Dark A trip to the bowling alley is anything but boring. There are pool tables‚ air hockey tables and arcade games you can play if bowling just isn’t your fancy.
