I think Freedman utilizes this sentence to really emphasize that although the line between work and play can be often blurred, at the end of the day, there is a fine line that exists that differentiates the two. This usually places one, priority-wise, above the other. In this case, play is referring to Ali playing football for his school team and with his friends. This responsibility is clearly one that Ali views with a lot of pride. In this case, "work" is referring to Ali's personal religious duties to Allah. The balance between the two is where the line between work and play might not be clear; however, when Ali noticed that his football might come in between him and Allah, he knew he had to prioritize.

Throughout the piece, Freedman is constantly juxtaposing cultural elements from American high school and the Middle East. Here, the author is doing so through imagery to describe Ali wearing his football varsity jacket as well as having on him food from his culture. This shows how Ali, growing up Muslim American, has grown up to be a part of both cultures.

Throughout the article, Freedman uses Dearborn High School's football team and their experience playing during Ramadan (thing), to draw attention to the similar dedication that sports and religion takes.

This section is contradicting itself, by stating that the United States and the Islamic are peaceful, even though they have many differences when it comes to how to run a country and also religion. This proves to anyone that even though they have many differences they are still able to act peaceful towards one another.

Even though Ali wanted to go play football, he had to watch out on his health. He had to stay true to Allah and that is what he wanted to do truly.

It's important to keep at it! The author uses this to help the readers get a better understanding of how important this is to them.

I like how the author shows us a little bit about what this is about.

His childhood is mentioned. He mentions how his parents were alike in the way of watching the crashing competition on the television.

This specific chunk helps build an image of Ali Ahmad. The use of imagery here helps draw in the readers because you have to wonder, why is this description important here?

The players are still working hard even if they are hungry and thirsty. They are not giving up on themselves either even when things don't look good with their crucial errors they still find a way to persevere.

Wow he really is willing to risk his own health and well being to stay true to Ramadan. Dehydration is truly lethal to the body. I guess that shows that he really is an above and beyond religious man.

It truly is difficult to keep that balance between multiple loves. This also shows how strong his religion is eating would really help his performance on the football field but his faith for Allah is really admirable.

I think this section is important to the article even though it is written as a postscript. It almost acts as a culmination of the grit that these boys had during their time both fasting and playing football. It also ends the piece on a happy note.

This sentence shows how Arabs really only came here recently and have flourished in American society. I think this is evident in how at Dearborn High School, there is equal representation in activated for Muslim students.

In this paragraph, Freedman is taking average American life and showing us how these Muslim students have adapted to it and made it their own. Freedman also wants to show the reader that despite these kids having different traditions and prayers, they still are like any normal American kid.

I think the word lifetime really emphasizes the reason why those of the Islamic faith fast. One of Islam's most important practices is to help those who need help when you can. This really shows how those of the Islamic faith have taken that to heart and by fasting are able to put themselves in the shoes of those who feel like that all the time.

This phrase really does setup how important Allah is to Ali and how the game of football can never be an excuse for Ali to break his fast early. I think this phrase being early in the article really sets up Ali's thoughts about religion.

The quotes from Cheaib are important because they have a two contrasting ideas. He says fasting is a challenge but it also makes you feel like a warrior.

I like this sentence a lot. Freedman wants to show us Ali's ranking of priorities by placing football and Allah, the two things that probably matter most to him at that moment, in the same sentence

Here, it's important to notice how there's a huge difference in the way of thinking. This kind of toughness to push through obstacles isn't just important for just the game of football but in all aspects of life.

Freedman is building a high stakes situation, the football game, on top of the fact that Ali is fasting. He wants the reader to almost put themselves in the shoes of Ali. He does with imagery and descriptive language of what was happening.

This portion is going more in depth about the transformation of culture and explaining that it wasn't as easy as it sounds. This makes the transformation circumstance more realistic.

The author uses imagery to give a visual picture of the public tolerance discussed in the last paragraph. Here, they are using Dearborn High as an example of how the country is becoming more aware of change. This helps the writing because it's basically evidence supporting their statement.

This shows the mental toughness they had. Although they may not have had a lot of water or food they still were tougher mentally, which helped them as a team.

I can relate to this not because I am fasting but there have been times where I have gone to practice on a relatively empty stomach and its very hard, I can't even imagine doing it everyday for a month.

This really shows to why they are doing this, not only for their religion but they understand the difficulties of the many suffering people in the world.

There are obviously a lot of players who are effected by the fasting, so what does that mean for the rest of the team? Do coaches not play these players because of it? Are the other players mad or frustrated because of it?

This shows the dedication from the coaches to their players and their lives. This answers some of my questions from my annotation above about whether or not the coaches respect the players and their lives. This shows that they are doing what is best for the players no matter what.

This greatly shows the dedication and pride that the immigrants have toward their community. They are succeeding in this new society and being exceptional role models for the younger generations. They continue to process in society while also going through hardships.

While I do see what the author is saying, I can't fully agree with it. Yes, most of America may have "a capacity to absorb difference," but there's always that small percentage of people who are unaccepting, and just plain old mean, to people who are seen as "different."

I like that the author included this quote because it gives insight to the people who might not know much about Islam.

This helps put Ali’s perspective in to view. It helps us understand why they fast and the commitment they have. Even with grueling practices in hot weather they still don’t eat or drink water.

I think that the author included this quote to almost show the audience how the players were able to stay so motivated through such a difficult time. The struggle made them work even harder.

Here the author is showing us what the players had went through together. Even though it was difficult, they always had each other to keep themselves motivated.

This sentence helps in understanding the balance Ali has between religion and sports. I think this is a very strong statement because he made sure to stay true to his beliefs and didn’t let a sport ruin that.

This is really admirable. The fact that he stayed true to his beliefs, all while doing something so physically exhausting and demanding, really shows the kind of person Ali is.

The author starts off the article with both imagery and foreshadowing. These are really good techniques to keep the audience on edge, and make them want to continue reading on.

I feel the author use's the connection between being faithful with your religion and being dedicated with your sport because they go hand in hand. You don't want to give up with your religion and be unfaithful, but at the same time you don't want to give up with your sport and become undedicated. I think those two words go hand in hand.

Right from the very beginning I notice the authors vivid use if imagery. I think he might be using imagery to draw out a certain type of emotion from the text.

I can relate to this statement because it gets hard. However, the author portrays the strong bond between the boys by showing how they lift eachother up and motivate eachother that its only a couple more hours left. You need people around you to help you get through it. Throughout this whole thing, the author showcases how they are constantly with good people, coaches, teammates, etc.

It's really nice that he is surrounded by other fellow Muslims, so they all are in it together. I think the author was definitely trying to make it obvious that even though Ali had really strong beliefs, he wasn't fasting and doing things alone. He had many people like him, which always makes it easier.

I really love this because I personally know in this day and age, many people who are religious, drop their beliefs sometimes to do certain things, or go against what they believe shouldn't be done, to please people or have fun or do what they want. However, something as important as winning this game to Ali, doesn't even matter if he is disobeying Allah, and that is so amazing.

I think it's amazing that he would play even during Ramadan. It is so difficult, sometimes, to do the smallest tasks, without getting hungry and/or thirsty. The fact that he is dedicated to his beliefs and his game is really inspiring.

I think that this shows the bond and relationship that they have as a team, that they were able to encourage each other to keep going and keep pushing and not break their fast because as one of the players mentioned earlier he "feels like a warrior" after a long day of fasting and practice, and that energy comes out on the football field as well.

I think that here the author is implying that during this season the players who were fasting sacrificed more than just a meal for energy they sacrificed themselves basically for the sake of their religion and the sake of their team.

Muslim students like Mohammad practice both Islamic traditions and "American" traditions, showing that the two aren't mutually exclusive. Freedman includes details about both traditions to show that they can play American football and stay dedicated to their faith.

The author uses specific word such as "without sustenance" and "resisted the temptation" to show the reader the sacrifices Ali is going through during Ramadan. It puts emphasis on the strength required to go through Ramadan without any food for energy.

Freedman creates a parallel between two different regions with a common word- "middle." Although the culture of the Middle East and Midwestern America are very different, the author uses a common word to show that they are compatible, that the can meet in the "middle".

I think that this statement is important because it highlights the diversity and community at this high school and showing that no one is more important than the other everyone should be treated equally.

This is a very interesting statement. This boy has such strong values that if he won the game but disobeyed his god winning the game wouldn't mean anything to him.I think this is a really cool way to showcase this boys character.

I think that what the author is trying to say here is that even though there have always been tensions between the US and the Middle East the US has still accepted people who have came from the Middle East and have never shut them out completely or shut their beliefs and values out.

This sentence seems almost like comic relief? It kinda seems like it doesn't belong here...

I can't put my finger on what moves the author is using here or what point he is trying to get at, but I think that the author is definitely trying to open up a deeper conversation here with this statement.

I think that here the author includes this quote from Cheaib because it shows his dedication both to the game of football and his dedication to his religion and his fasting, and how both of those work together to give him strength and encourage him throughout the day.

I find it interesting how the author refers to playing football and fasting as the "twin rituals," I'm not exactly sure what he means by this, but I have a feeling that the author is attempting to get at something deeper than just what's being said.

I think that this shows contradicting views, but within Ali himself because he wanted to play his best and win the football game, but we also see that religion is a very important factor in his life as well.

I think that here the author is trying to bring emotion and possibly a sense of sympathy into the argument so the reader sympathizes with him and the actions he chooses after that.

The article concludes with showing the winning score for the Dearborn team and mentions that they won because they were stronger mentally by sticking to Ramadan.

Early on in this story the author is using imagery to create a really clear visual image in the readers mind using every single detail he could possibly gather to make the reader feel as if we can truly feel/experience what's happening.

Lots of imagery used just in the first paragraph to really show the reader how Ali Ahmed’s day was liek

The author's use of imagery is immediate in the beginning. It really helps the reader put themselves in Ali's shoes on that day.

This sentence is interesting to me because it almost implies that the football games are more important than the sacredness of Ramadan. To me it seems contradictory because from the previous quotes from the Muslim players, they definitely recognize the value of being faithful. One player said, "you know you've worked hard. You know you've been faithful. And that makes you much tougher out on the field." This sentence may represent how the school or non-Muslims may see Ramadan as a hindrance. However, the players that fast see it as a superpower that helps them be a "warrior" on the field.

Not only does the author mention that the football team is in Dearborn multiple times, he actually goes into some historic information about the city and how it came to have a dense Arab population. This background information is important because it helps draw the parallel of the struggles first generation immigrants faced and the struggles their children or grandchildren face in everyday school life.

I noticed that Freedman is incorporating Arabic words into the article to more closely connect the reader to the reading, which I think is interesting

The author is bringing in context behind the subject, I guess, but I'm not sure why he is incorporating this information.

To further on what Nikita said I think this section here represents what she said. Even though some of them want to take a break whether it's for themselves or other player, they're encouraged to be be committed and push through because it'll "be worth it" when it comes time to play the game.

So I'm not sure if this is a move but to me, these sentences seem to bring to light a lot of emotion and motive. I think it is interesting to see the depth in peoples thoughts and perspectives behind what they do.

The imagery stands out immediately in the article. I think the effect is that it pulls the reader in and makes it more interesting than just saying "he walked into a bakery"

I think that the author wants the audience to experience what Ali Ahmad's usual day in getting through ramadan. He mentions "Ali would not eat or drink again until the sun set in nearly 14 hours." This not only gives me the feeling that fasting is difficult but shows me the struggles that Ali Ahmad is going to probably experience.

I think that Freeman includes this quote from Hassan Cheaib to exaggerate the dedication and effort that goes into fasting. The use of the simile really shows that the students are like warriors who can fight through an extremely productive day without eating or drinking. It expresses a comparison to the feeling of a warrior winning a battle to a high school student surviving the ramadan tradition.

Ali is not alone in the sense of finding a balance betweeb the game and faith.

he focuses on the playing aspect to avoid focusing on fasting.

There is a sense of weighing values going on in Ali's life where he is forced to find a balance between what he loves,the game the sport the play, what he believes in which would be he fasting.

Freedman juxtaposes the competition in football and the competition in the Lebanese civil war. The connotation of "competition" changes based on its context; it can be a "crashing competition" between two football teams, or it can be "lethal forms of competition" in a war. This passage also contrasts the past of many refugees to their present.

This creates emotion for the game and kinda gives a sense of this is it make it count. I can personally relate to this because I am not good enough to swim in college, so my senior year will be it, and that makes me very sad.

Freedman s uses imagery here, possibly to draw out emotion for the topic.

This statement shows that they didn't view Ramadan and fasting as an excuse for their performance. These customs are practiced upon their willing to do so, and it should not hold them back from doing what they love.

This statement highlights the acceptance of different customs and religions across the nation. In this school in particular, they are obligated to recognize the Muslim customs, since many of their students are muslim.

The author highlights how sports and religion play an important role in Ali's life. He has a balance between his love for sports and his faith towards God.

This statement helps put into perspective just how important this game is for his team. It shows that Ali and his team will have to work together as a team and fight hard to secure a spot in the state playoffs.

Right off the bat, I notice the author's use of vivid imagery. This imagery helps paint the picture of this story, and really feel what it was like to be Ali Ahmad on this day.

We're at it again friends. This time, as you annotate, concentrate on the moves you see--even if you can't name them--and how they work to produce an effect on you the reader.

Finding #2: When honing in the groups themselves, the lower-level Spanish course students did not enjoy using the app as much with 43.8% of the students agreeing to the survey question, "Is Duolingo an easy to use, helpful, and enjoyable app to practice Spanish?" While this is true, the A2 level students still displayed a liking, in their survey responses, for Duolingo to be a good replacement for "other types of homework." According to some reasons, this is in part due to the activities including both writing and hearing, its simple and easy user interface, it was a game, and it was available on the app to use.

A student of mine wrote a research paper on the positive effects of video games. He did mention the cognitive and emotional benefits of game playing. Of course, I think this all depends on a variety of factors, such as home environments and natural cognitive abilities.

The game of baseball is changing so rapidly that it is way more than just a game, but instead is a statistically mind game that is predicted by number gurus

Bush's description sounds like that of calculator. He discusses the extreme cost of creating a machine that can calculate problems efficiently, as well as its instability and unreliability. Now, calculators are widespread tools that are used by students and adults to solve mathematical equations and problems. They are widely used and manufactured with different levels of complexity (for instance, scientific calculators have more functions than simple calculators).

This is very interesting to do because poker is a chance game.

Gamification for the purpose of learning, rather than gamification for the purpose of gaming/play.

While this was surprising to hear, we have been sufficiently warned about the theory vs actual game play.

it seems that the word "subcommunities" is almost another word for video games.

Jenga!!

Sprezzatura is a kind of practiced nonchalance, the play-it-cool mentality that conceals the strategic inner rhetorician. Think Varys in Game of Thrones. A cooler example occurs in Skyfall , in which James Bond descends through the roof of a moving train car while said roof is basically torn off and then immediately fixes his cufflinks like nothing happened. Perhaps not sensible from a narrative point of view, but certainly rhetorically appropriate for the audience and very sprezzatura. Another Renaissance example that we read in Dr. Lynch's Rhetoric I class is Christine de Pizan's The Treasure of the City of Ladies, which is like Castiglione's book if the audience were women of the court.

hckey day

The Cavaliers didn't make it to the second round during the playoffs.

This kind of joke appeals to those who don't really like the game aspect of hockey and more of the fans who look forward to seeing the fighting aspect of hockey, as there are certain fans who go to the games mostly for the fights.

If the NHL would have banned this it probably would have caused outrage by the fans so it was smart by them to leave it in the game somewhat and this shows that fighting in hockey is just a common part of the sport and they should just let it happen.

Its funny how they said they wanted to put a "ban" on fighting but instead they just made it a little penalty in one game of hockey. It shows how much the hockey industry relies on the fighting to make a game entertaining. This also shows how the hockey industry easily turned something that was meant to be for play into something that more so went along with the connotation of work.

people see it as necessary for people like Boogaard to mediate the games with violence rather than have someone like a referee maintain peace between the two teams during the game.

This is very different compared to the first part of the article because in the first part the author was more focused on Boogaards life and in the second part (at least this far in) he is more focused on the foundation and rules of the game

Yet again this shows that Boogaard sees it as his mission to get out their and fight. When he was a child he wanted nothing more than to play in the NHL and when he finally made it, he started to have much less fun and not enjoy the game as much.

I think that this connects back to the thought that Boogaard stayed in the NHL and continued to receive fame from fighting because he probably knew somewhere within himself that he didn't have the skill to actually play in the NHL and by being an enforcer in the NHL that would be the closest he got to achieving that goal.

I'm wondering if this was because of personal issues or because of protocol from the game because I previously recall when there was a fight the players would only be given a five minute penalty.

I find it interesting that the language being used to describe a hockey game is language that in normally used to describe a boxing match.

From this I can assume that the majority of people who go to watch hockey games only do so because of the fights, rather than for the actual game itself.

I find it ironic how the author throws in this joke to make an appeal to a sense of humor in the audience however the irony in this is that he is highlighting the fact that it seems as if at a hockey game there is more focus on the fight than the hockey so It might as well have just been a fight and a hockey game happened to show up in the middle of things.

This makes me wonder, what was the true reason why fighting started in hockey, because if you think of it like any other sport, when there is full contact fighting you don't just get a five minute "time out" and go on your way your usually taken out for the rest of the game and maybe the next few games to, so I'm wondering why it's so different in hockey?

A question that’s been plaguing me ever since we started this unit was, “Why is violence such an essential part of hockey?” I know it’s because of my ignorance of pretty much all sports, but I pretty much thought that all one does during a hockey game is hit a puck into a goal. Apparently it’s much more than that. Has it always been this way?

This relates to the idea that some enforcers in hockey are there because they have no skill or talent to play the actual game, but they are there, and fighting because it's basically paying the bills, and they have the title of being in the NHL

Hockey players already know that they may get into a fight, even before the game. They may feel it in their gut. But that is their job if their an enforcer.

Like Jad said, this establishes the work and play theme we are looking at and this guy put it perfectly. When you're on the ice, yes you are playing a game but this is your work. If you know what is expected of you, you can't really take it personally. If you took it personally, you'd be angry 24/7. They're just doing their job.

The order has been established by players. This just shows the respect that most players have for the game. They don’t want it to be jeopardized because of uncontrolled chaos

This really shows Boogard's passion for the game, as he didn't care about injuries and would play for the fun of the game. He knew the toll of what would happen to his body, but he ignored it because he knew that his passion for the game is what he cares about the most.

I noticed that Branch brings up Boogaard's height a lot and uses the word "big" repeatedly. As we go into Boogaard's past, we learn that he was picked on for his height and even though he kept a smile, he was still internally brought down by it. But I think his height is what fed him during hockey fights, he realizes that bigger is stronger in the hockey world and although he may not feel useful outside of the hockey world, he instead feels strong when the hockey game starts.

I find it weird how there is so much attention put on an enforcer in hockey when the most attention should be on the game itself, not the fights stimulated within the game.

I think it's possible that Boogaard turned to fighting for attention because he wasn't receiving the attention he wanted solely based off of his hockey playing skills.

In hockey there is a lot of fighting, you get into fights over the puck and with other players. He MUST fight makes me think that is not something he wants to do but has to, so he can entertain the people watching the game.

This helps show the hostility and violence in this sport. For someone that Boogaard has never met to threaten to kill him over a simple game, whether it's a major or minor game, shows how far people are going to win.

Here I noticed the juxtaposition or even oxymoron of the words "unwritten" and "established". Even though these rules were not written at all they were well known and solidified. I think the author is trying to show the really real nature of a unofficial part of the game of hockey.

I don't know a lot about hockey, but I do happen to know that there is a lot of violence. Although some may say that is is "a part of the game" I still do not think that it should be encouraged or taught at a young age.

This threat is probably why the author started off by saying he was scared. Boogard is 6'7" so to be confronted and threatened by someone even bigger would be. It also shows the nature of how physical hockey is. Everyone is always pushing each other and it can get easily out of hand in the heat of the moment, but it really is just apart of the game.

This really shows that the game of Hockey was never truly played. They basically went out on the ice to fight. This confuses me as the author never really mentions why they fight or the purpose of these violent acts. Were people upset not getting what they payed for? Or was this something they expected and wanted to happen? These were all questions that arrised when reading through this article.

This overdose, could have been accidental, but it could have not. Later in the article it states that he did indeed have addictions, but we will never know. Did the stress of his position and role while playing the sport of hockey get to him. His role in the sport, also would have caused damaged to his brain. Constant fighting, in every game he plays.

Derek had never even seen or even knew this person existed. All he knew after this statement was that he was going to fight him. The insanely threatening wording this opposing player uses on Boogaard just shows how the game of hockey is at this time, and shows the pure anger and intensity that players have, that drive them to perform in the actual game.

They say accidental, but in reality they have no way of knowing. Maybe the stress of constantly being under the spotlight, and the stress of playing the game itself, got to him.

His rise in hockey wasn't because of his hockey skill, but because of his fighting skills. We can tell he was pretty good at it too and became one of the most fearsome fighters in all of hockey. However, if he likes fighting so much, why doesn't he just box?

The fights were staged, just for show. They get the fans to pick sides, pick favorites. It also makes the game itself more entertaining.

Watching a sporting event can also go along with having fun. You go and enjoy yourself. You have to leave all your stress wherever you were stressed at because you don't want the stress following you when you are just wanting to watch a game.

Could have maybe started a camp where children could learn how to play the game

Basketball was inspired by a children's game In December of 1891

Even though it may be popular opinion for the fans, in the end its what the crowd wants or the physical health of the players. It would probably be a hard choice to convince the on lookers, but in the end in a way necessary.

So I read into stuff like this and they are most likely being so hesitant to give out information because more often than not the sport corporations will go out of their way to hire specific doctors that will be more willing to just hand out prescriptions if it means their best players can play in the next game.

Just reading through things like this is crazy to me. In high school sports if you get a concussions you're most likely gonna be gone for 1-2 months. Boogaard was almost back right away. I know that enforcers would hide concussions but is it really worth it man?

The league doesn't want to end the fighting because this is what keeps fans coming back to games. This is what excites them. If they ended the fights all together there would be less and less people that went to the games. They feel that they would rather have injuries than not have money.

There were regulations put on fighting, but not enough to stop the serious injuries/fights.

Another possible reading if you want more is "Why Game (Cultures) Studies Now?" by Steinkuehler. I have a pdf if people want more to read.

Please use the following as hint/example text below in the text field "e.g. I want to build an educational game for 5 to 10 year olds that teaches addition. It is a 2D infinite runner..."

This statement is not representative of how the news should act or work in any way shape or form. The fact that it does is disheartening to say the least.

the media is reporting on what's "hot"-the absurd things trump says- rather than the importance of some of his terrible actions because they know his tweets will get more public attention than some deeply political topics.

It's sort of scary to acknowledge this. We put our trust in the media to give us the information we need to know, but instead we are given what they think we want to hear. It's a relief that this has been realized, but concerning that we, as an audience, have gone so long being okay with it.

Previous offender

This sentence shows they must love the sport so much that no matter what happens to them they still play the game and be there to help support the team to win even if they possibly become sick. the passion they have for the game is crazy if your kind of sick inhaling gross dust but still playing the game and not giving up.

Again this is a little of a stretch, but the first game is the actual game of football where they cant play because they don't have any one or any one good to fill the positions. Where as you could say that they are also playing the game of life and how are you suppose to move through life with all the sorrow.

Traditions are known to be passed down though people and generations, and even though they were so young, while being apart of tradition, one day some of the originals wont be with you anymore, however it is a tradition and you have to continue it to show your respect you have towards what the game means to you

Rachel, Abby, and I made to realization that the author uses many different words that have double meanings. He uses football terms that can easily be used to make his readers think about more than just the game. For example, the word "pile," he doesn't just mean a bunch of guys who tackled each other and need help untangling themselves. He is also referring to the pile of rubble that the victims had to be pulled out of after 9/11. There are plenty more words like this, this is only one.

The way the author puts in the rhetorical questions evoke a sense of emotional appeal when you put yourself in their shoes. It gives you a small view of how these men felt when digging up their teammates’ bodies. I noticed how the word replace has the same action but different circumstance every time it is used. Usually, when you think of replacing something, it's because the 'thing' you have is bad or useless, so you bring in another thing to resolve the defectiveness. In this case, replacing someone is harder because it's not that they're bad at doing something, it's because they're gone. You can't duplicate their unique traits.

Work and play gets brought up a lot during this article. You have men apart of a team for their job but they also tend to share their lives together outside of their jobs, doing things that don't require work and I think that their shared work and play time effected how the team felt when their "family" lost members due to 9/11, it made those feelings extra hard to deal with.

omg the strength, the perseverance, his DETERMINATION of te winning goal is amazing through this unbearable time shows that not only is he now even more focused in his game but he's going to be an even better player through the trauma because now he believes to never give up regardless of the storm. periodt

Now THIS is that chain between work and play, the relationships we build with our co workers and team mates really make or break the whole experience. Here, we have wounded and vulnerable men who made their job a home and now can't find that line between them as both have been ruined.

This line is an example of the words that have two entirely different connotations, in sports a rebuilding year can be where they replace players to improve their quality of their team, but in this situation these people have permanently disappeared and can't be "replaced" like a player in a game.

The little things about each of these men made them more memorable and a greater asset to the team. This passage shows how each player's unique personality brought something special to the game that can't be replaced and no one else can bring. However, the team has to still keep going on.

Lauren and Claire

In this quote we noticed the logical fallacy of appealing to emotion was used. They are overloading the audience with emotion so they will sympathize with the article. The emotion is shown in the players to show their love and affection of the game.

Mady and Jack; the author is using parallel structure between work and play in this paragraph. Not only is he using the word rescue talking about 9/11 but, he is also using rescued to relate to the game and how his teammates saved the game. It's interesting how he related two different topics (work and play) by using the same word. This shows that there could be some middle ground between the two topics.

This reminded me of another value of sports: perseverance, or endurance. Despite all of the players that were lost, the team has to move on and keep playing. Also, it connects to the value of having fun because some players are missed because they added to the game by making it fun and joyful.

Replacing the players is relatively an easy task compared to the latter. Later on in the article, the author writes, "Even if you can replace the players who were lost, how do you replace all the other guys who made the team so damn much fun?" While the team game-wise could start to recover, it was just as necessary for the team bonds to recover as well. Each person had their own unique personality that all brought something different to the table, both when it came to friendships as well as during games. Having a team that is well bonded helps with teamwork which helps with winning. Starting over with new relationships because tragedy struck is incredibly hard, but these men were clearly determined to do so. Also, it was most likely tough for these men to grieve while still giving focus to the game.

It is clear this recreational sport is way more than a game at this point. It is touching to read that people that might not even like football are joining to be a part of the community. It's important to see pure things such as this and take them to heart. It emphasizes the importance of grieving as a group.

This is talking about replacing but I feel like it contradicts a previous statement. The article said earlier that the game was tradition. With that claim, playing the game with new players is a great way to carry on a tradition and start a new one of honoring the fallen.

Everyone on the team was important to this team just like how every one of them was important at work. They all impacted every other member of their team and then everybody lost someone special. Even if they didn't all lose their real family members they lost people that have basically became their family and who they worked and played with everyday.

I think this paragraph is really touching. Even though something horrible had just happened to this team they knew they could do something about it. The only thing they could do is to play in the football game and honor their friends and family that were not able to be there. Although, it took a great tragedy for some people to join the team I like to look at it as they all knew what to do in the wake of this horrible event and came and did what they needed to when it counted.

This statement really stood out to me because when I read this I imagined there was no doubt in Mike Heffernan's voice or mind. Even though their team had been through probably the worst thing possible he knew that playing in this game was something they had to do. This was a way that they could keep their fallen friends and family alive and honor them. I think this was such a great response to feel so strongly about something that you are positive about your response.

Another way to show the team's dedication to both their jobs and the game as well.

Again, here the teammates are in full favor of the game, even after a tragedy. This, showing commitment and determination throughout all the players.

Right here, even after a devastating time, this part shows the determination of the speaker. He seems so confident and very to committed the idea of playing their game.

I can certainly relate to this feeling of replacing people who left. In band, feel an emotional connection with all the band members even I didn't know them that well. Either way, always enjoyed a band member's company because of their skill or personality. Having to deal with seniors leaving the band always left a hole in my heart believing that they are irreplaceable.

It's very interesting how this person is hesitating on continuing football because of all the people who are dead. It shows that he heavily values the people who served on the team. When I hear instances like these, I think the next motivator would be carrying on the fallen's legacy. Since the dead have left such a great impact on his life, he would probably continue on with them in his heart.

Its really a great moment in basketball to see Layola Chicago go to the final four nobody would think they would make it as far they did. It would have been a great game if Kentucky play Villanova in the championship game.

The Eagles coming into the game were underdogs by halftime they were favorites to win nobody would ever think the patriots would lose especially with their staring QB being hurt.

At teacher lunches, we often talk about our students, and a common refrain over the years has been a lack of patience and perseverance by young people. Our students don't want to mull over something or to dig deeper, the criticism goes. They want the answer now. Many of my colleagues blame video games and technology on this decreasing attention, and it may be true, but I often find myself resisting this blame game, and I wonder about how it is we are teaching and what learning looks like to our students. It does no good to cast blame on the kids in front of us if we aren't reflecting and changing what we're doing to ensure we meet their needs.

Sometimes, it is important to identify consumer groups and markets.Whether they are games or movies, people pay more attention to their own consumption experience, which I think is the most important aspect that businesses should consider.

This piece of writing is a revision of my one-pager for the profile assignment, which asked us to explain which subculture we were thinking about investigating and how we will go about doing the interviews and field observations. I decided to revise this piece because this one seemed especially bland and impersonal compared other shorter pieces, so I figured it needed the most work. This entire introductory paragraph is a new revision to my one-pager for the profile essay. Especially throughout the beginning part of the semester, one of my weaknesses as a writer was that I was not personal enough. I was taught in high school to write in a formal manner and avoid using the first person at all costs. I think that being more personal in my writing is one of my most significant accomplishments as a writer this semester. Here, this short narrative provides context for why I am interested in the football team as a subculture. Before including this, it was not obvious in this piece why I liked football or cared enough to want to interview the players themselves, so I think adding this introduction helps sets up the rest of the piece.
