NFL rule change

Then NFL recently moved the Kickoff to the 35 yard line in order for less injury. I am comleted angered by the votijg of NFL owers on this reform. Now alot of kickers will be able to kick the ball out of bounce out of the end zone preventing kick returns which takes alot of the excitement in the NFL. NFL fans will see less kick off returns from incredicble speedster athletes like Josh Cribbs, Devin Hester, and others. Fans want to see these special type players work their magic and now they can't. Will it cause less injuries though? I dont think moving the kick off won't change the severity of when a player tackles another player. IN coonclusion I really hope the rule change does not last.

We all knew the Bulls were goimg to make the playoffs but who knew they would be competing for the first seed in the Eastern Comference? We all knew Derrick Rose was a star but did we know he was a suepr star? Derrick Rose has been leading his team in super star like fashion and has indeed proven to be the best point guard in the NBA and is well on his to winning his first MVP. Ofcourse Rose cannot carry his team alone he has been very fortunate to have the two big men in Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer really proving an inside presence. watch out everybody Bulls Lakers finals calling it now!

FREEWAY

The Freeway for the land of success
By David Derval

The Freeway was clustered toward the sunny land of success ahead
Many have fantasized and they all have read
They read "Success is finally Near"
Wiping out the fog from my window to see my local liquor store cashier
His wide open eyes were filled with hope
Unknowing of the deceiving road leading towards the slippery slope

Time has past the hope was crawling away
The once sunny sky slowly became gray
There were many exits people neglected
It was time for me to get disconnected

Moving at such a slow rate
My future did not have time to wait
I took the next exit not knowing where i was to go
Transferring me to a lonesome road, I was a one man show


I knew it was my destiny to take a different path
Just took me a little while to do that math
Cruising through life began to make me wonder
I had a feeling the deceiving freeway of success lead to nothing but thunder

LAKERS REVIEW

a couple losses, and multiple wins fluctuates the critics views on the Lakers. Many Critics jump from Lakers not being an elite team to being the supreme team in the NBA, it seemed their views changed every week. After winning two back to back championships it might be normal to start a season a little slow with the attitude of having to play a full season already knowing your the best team. The first half of the season to the Lakers was a waste of time. Into March of the the 2nd half of the Season Lakers are currently the hottest team in the NBA with critics raving about their high chances to 3 pete. As the season progresses the less they get bored, and start to smell the sweet scent of that ring on their fingers. If Lakers continue Locking in on Defense and the key to their Success, Andrew Bynum playing at a high level there is no stopping L.A.

Conformity

Whenever i find myself conforMing with a large group of people, a voice comes iin my head saying " do something else". Ive always like to do things the different way in life rather than do it like everybody else. I refuse to conform just for the sake of conforming but conform only if i individually choose to do so. In a class room I I'll individually choose to conform simply not to fit but to preform as a student to the best of my abilities, same thing gors with following the rules. I can easily break the rules but I INDIVIDUALLY choose not to because i want to be the best student I can be!

GRAPHIC NOVEL

I Did not picture from the graphic novel is not at all what i came up with my imagination. I imagined Gregor as an 8 legged insect type creature with a big fat body of a bug, but a head of a human. Greggor's face in the graphic novel kind of looks like a cricket rather than the human face i imagined. The Black and white imagery really illustrates the hopeless the Family especially the sister has for Gregor's transformation.



2. Kafka's description of the family on how lazy they are, forces the reader to sympathize with Gregor. Kafka uses words such as "Sluggish" to describe the father and to lazy to make it across the room in describing the mother. Kafka even has the vermin looking member of the family who was the one making money for the family before! How can we not sympathize with Gregor who was the ONLY one making money in the family and now he is a VERMIN!!

Discussion thing

Yesterday's class was a pretty interesting process in how we built on a good discussion without the help of a teacher. It was similar to a snowball effect in where the idea got bigger and bigger the more it bounced off each other. I enjoyed talking about the possibility of waking up as a Vernin. I asked the question yesterday would "your outlook on life change" as everyone aggressively answered of course, i interlay disagreed with them. If i were to wake up as a monstrous bug my outlook on life wouldn't change. I would make the most of everything I have and live each day to the fullest. I would take advantages of some of my differences and have fun with it. I would learn to love myself for it, I would learn to make money off it for helping my family, and lastly i would learn to make the world a better place because of it.
