A place I go that I feel a complete sense of ease and belonging is Bridgewater Sports Arena‚ where I play ice hockey. I love the sound that my Bauer Supreme skates make when they slice and dice through the thick‚ frigid ice. I crave the pattering sound that the spectators hands make when you score a goal or make a great play. And I despise the collective‚ “ awe‚” the fans make when something doesn’t go your way. The smell of the stick wax and gatorade let me know that I am right at home where I should

Entering the corridor to the dressing room‚ I hear muffed‚ reverberating sounds from the ice‚ and before I can see who it is‚ I know it’s Lafleur. Like a kid on a backyard rink‚ he skates by himself many minutes before anyone joins him‚ shooting pucks easily off the boards‚ watching them rebound‚ moving skates and gloved hands wherever his inventive instincts direct them to go. Here‚ far from the expedience of a game‚ away from defenders and linemates who shackle him to their banal predictability

Unlike A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ each of the cross-dressing characters does so as the result of conscious decision (as opposed to magical influence) and in order to attain a goal. While there are certainly a number of disguises in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” there are different motivations for characters wearing them. For Viola‚ her reasons for dressing as a young man are clear since she wants to be able to make a living in the new land she has found herself inhabiting. Although it may be a bit

When a question such as "What is Canadian identity?" is brought about‚ most people would say the term refers to the set of symbols and characteristics that most Canadians deem as expressing our unique place and role in the world‚ such as the maple leaf. Although‚ in my personal opinion when the question "What is Canadian identity?" is asked‚ not only do the symbols and characteristics that represent our Country come to mind‚ but much‚ much more.

though‚ Egeus has the right according to the law at that time‚ how can a father be so heartless to his daughter? Secondly‚ Oberon’s authority makes him too self-righteous. Because Oberon is the king of the fairy kingdom‚ he is used to commanding Puck or other fairies and they have to deference Oberon. At this time‚ Oberon thinks he just needs to say “give me that boy” (I: i: 143)‚ then Titania will do what he says like other fairies. And maybe Oberon supposes wives should always be obedient to
