[pic] A Book Report by Eric Yates The book I read was Football Champ by Time Green. The setting of the book is Atlanta‚ Georgia during the fall. The main places in the story are the Atlanta Falcons Stadium‚ Troy’s middle school and football field‚ and Troy’s house. The story is written in first person because Troy (the main character) is telling the story. There is figurative language in this story. On page 229 a simile is used that says “he’s big and slow like a turtle”. There is

goes back to the theme of lost hope. Another figurative language William Butler Yeats used is symbolism. Such as when he said‚ "The falcon cannot hear the falconer" (2). I don’t believe that he is actually talking about the animal or the falconer‚ a person who trains with falcons. I think that he means that God is not being heard by his people. In this case‚ the falcon represents the people and the falconer represents God. If you cannot be heard by your leader than you and your society are bound to

this got me thinking‚ do the advantages of having a pet really outweigh the disadvantages? Later on that evening Olli was sick and poor mum‚ who was meant to be going to her sister’s wedding reception‚ had to take him to the vet. Ollie is a cute Maltese puppy who has a great personality and loves to have fun‚ but unfortunately i don’t always have fun when I’m picking up thousands of pieces of ripped up tissue paper from all over our lounge floor.

But it was not always this way. It all started out one day‚ when the Atlanta Falcons were playing against my favorite team‚ the Philadelphia Eagles. I do not quite recall the conclusion of the game‚ but there is one thing I do remember; Michael Vick. Michael Dwayne Vick was born on June 26‚ 1980‚ in Newport News‚ Virginia

Chuck Connors was right‚ the Falcons looked very good and Chuck had given me a starting position in the game. At first‚ the game was tied‚ then we came up by 9 points at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter it was tied again at 53-53. I had 10 of those points at half -time

Femme Fatale Since the beginning of recorded history we have been held to witness the influence of women and their sexuality on mankind. As sexual creatures‚ humans desire each other; generally men are more inclined to be seen as the ones who “need” the physical sexual act. This “need” that men have gives women an important power and opportunity over men. By controlling sex women can basically rule the world. This idea tends to scare men because men like to be the ones in control‚ but at the

result of Yeats’ reaction to the future of his people after World War I. He uses strong symbolisms in this poem that not only make you feel what he is feeling but it also depicts the transition and movement of good and evil over time using the gyre‚ falcon‚ blood-dimmed tide‚ ceremony of innocence‚ sphinx and the desert birds. The first stanza of the poem describes how things are falling apart after the war (the world is doomed‚ there’s anarchy everywhere) and then the second stanza is about the second
