Baseball “GET HOME!!! GET HOME!!!” Those were the words my dad would yell from the third base coach’s box as I passed him rounding third! Baseball to me is more than just a game!

It’s the field with its seemingly unfair depth‚ its soft green grass and the

Madness and Civilization In Madness and Civilization‚ Michel Foucault discuses the history of insanity in Europe from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. He begins his analysis with the treatment of the lepers and criminals concluding with the treatment of the insane.

Abandoned or burned houses were common in the city of Detroit. Most abandoned homes were claimed by the city’s growing problem with gangs. Other criminals would use these homes for their
