"I hope [people] will be moved by what I teach them," he said.
Teachers that have the ability to leave an impact on students lives are the best ones. You know you were a good teacher when students talk about the impact you had on their education or lives even years after being in the class.
When we learned about the 100th anniversary, we thought it was a good time to talk about the relationship between sport and religion, especially between the Habs and the religious context in Montreal and in Quebec," Bauer said.
I could see where they are coming from. There can be a connection between the two.
The arena is their temple, the players are their saviours, and those who worship them pray that the sacrifices made on the ice — of blood, sweat and tears — will lead them to glory.
They take hockey very serious!
Graduate course set to debate whether one of Quebec's biggest passions is a religion
I am not sure how I feel about this statement. I feel as if I can see both sides.
An instant after the slap, Orlando spun the fan aroundand socked him in the jaw, scattering teeth like jujubes. Therewere shouts, invective, a rumbling in the Forum. The tear gascame 30 seconds later.
This became violent very fast!
Smoke from a tear-gas canister haddriven thousands of hockey fans into the streets, sparking afour-hour rampage that yielded the requisite fires, shatteredwindows, looted stores, overturned cars and 137 arrests.
I was not aware of how violent the riot became. This posed safety concerns for innocent fans trying to watch the game.
There are moments when life gets in the way, when sports and thereal world collide at some intersection--
Sports are a major part of peoples lives and society. People can be very big fans and when a team loses or wins a game it impacts them as a fan more than some people can imagine.
Before the emcee can finish listing his exploits, the cheers begin for the silver-haired man. Wearing his No. 9 home jersey, he walks out onto the red carpet spread over the ice.
I feel like this would have been a very important moment to see. Very powerful as well as he stepped on the ice where his life was once changed.
Richard returned to the hospital. Campbell ordered a ham sandwich on brown bread and began writing his 1,200-word decision.
This story is very detailed, but I found it a bit strange that he added his specific order as if it were an importance to the story?
In 1939, when war broke out in Europe, the 18-year-old Richard tried to enlist for active duty, but military doctors determined his wrists and ankle — already broken during hockey games — had not healed properly.
I am sure this was hard news for Richard to hear.
Boston police come to the locker room. They want to arrest Richard for assault, to throw him in jail for the night.
Why was only one player arrested?
The tension between the two rivals in the six-team NHL has been building inside the Boston Garden all night.
Rivalries play a major role in sports
Unbeaten, unbowed, unrepentant — still forever proud.
The author did a great job with his word choice, this was a very inspiring statement.
Conspiracy theories
I find conspiracy theories to be very interesting!
It's also crucial to accept that you cannot really comprehend the Richard Riot unless you lived through and knew:
I think the author did a great job of providing background information early on in the text for those who do not have any prior knowledge of the event or what was going on during that time.
Sticks were high, fists flew, blood often smeared the ice, and the owners thought this was all manly and a great way to sell tickets.
I could see where this would attract an audience, but I think people sometimes do not think about others and consider their health
And then, the summertide; the glory of sunny noons, the heated quivering air that blurs the horizon and the outline of the forest, the flies swarming and circling in the sun's rays, and but three hundred paces from the house the rapids and the fall—white foam against dark water—the mere sight of it filling one with a delicious coolness. In its due time the harvest; the grain that gives life heaped into the barns; then autumn and soon the returning winter ... But here was the marvel of it, that the winter seemed no longer abhorrent or terrifying; it brought in its train the sweet intimacies of a house shut fast, and beyond the door, with the sameness and the soundlessness of deep-drifted snow, peace, a great peace . .
The vivid description throughout the entire story is amazing and it allows the audience to visualize the scenes. From this description as an audience member I feel as if I am truly there and experiencing it as well. This relates to when we talked about the importance of detail as a storyteller.
The old rascal
I think this is a funny way to refer to him
first-rate man
Is first-rate man another way of saying he was a good man?
AVES
What does aves mean? Is it implying years possibly, or months?
inert foe
Is this supposed to be an insult?
J'irai la voir un jour, M'asseoir pres de son trone, Recevoir ma couronne Et regner a mon tour ...
What does this translate to?
A fine hearty girl!
Interesting comment! What was he implying here?
