Sure

When I first entered high school, I had no intentions of playing football. My friends who played pop warner had always urged me to play but I always decided to play baseball. One day towards the end of 8th grade I made the decision to play football. I remember the first day of weights during the summer, I was so nervous I almost felt sick. I knew a select few of people but had no idea how much I was about to change my life. When everyone reported that first day, we started off by lining up and taking

Sanger Rainsford: The Realist      The most dangerous game began as a sport for one man. His name is Sanger Rainsford. In Richard Connell’s story “The Most Dangerous Game,” Sanger Rainsford, an avid hunter, is lost at sea, stranded on “Ship-Trap” Island-every sailor’s worst nightmare. Rainsford goes through a series of events that prove to be life-altering. Even though Sanger Rainsford went through many trials and tribulations, he never lost his intelligence, composure,

Sure Thing In David Ives’ short one-act comedy play “Sure Thing” he examines a number of variations in which a conversation between a guy and girl could take place. Theme, setting, plot, characters all of these things are essential to the understanding and captivation of the audience. With every exchange of conversation there is the ability to regain a fresh start by getting a second chance to make a good impression. The setting of this play is simple, a coffee shop. The setting is perfect

mindset is toxic. Humans need to steer away from hate and focus on love and forgiveness. In the poem Sure by Arlene Tribbia a sibling yearns for their brother despite his lousy choices. The sibling knows all the appalling choices he has made, yet they are able to look beyond his flaws and love him. They seek to remember the times of laughter and happiness rather than dwell on his mistakes. Sure shows we are capable of love and forgiveness toward people who do not always

1. Write a to do list making sure to prioritise tasks. Taking into consideration competing demands. Make sure the list is prioritised in order of importance. This allows me to know from the start of the morning what needs to be achieved by the end of my day. I will be able to check off steps as they are completed and know if I am on the right track to completing my day’s tasks. 2. Delegate – not everything needs to be done by me and me alone. A good manager knows how to delegate and who to delegate

Not Sure I do not believe in much aside from a few simple morals such as knowing right from wrong. There are no moments in my childhood worth mentioning and those that are I prefer to keep to myself. However what I can and choose to share are common experiences faced by many and that I too have experienced such as bullying, the divorce of two parents, having to constantly move from place to place, and always starting school as the new kid. Yet through all of it such experiences had no effect on

Any IT solution that is implemented without proper method of testing in project is a sure anticipation of failure. Testing is an ongoing process both formally and informally. Testing happens in different stages of software development life cycle like in development, actual testing phase and in post-deployment phase. The Importance of Testing: Without a well-planned testing effort, the project might face a serious operational and executional behavior of the solution. With a poorly tested solution

come to mind after reading the plays Sure Thing by David Ives and Beauty by Jane Martin. Is anything a "sure thing" and isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder? These two playwrights bring up interesting topics of conversation. Comedy can be defined in different categories just like the two plays. I suggest that Sure Thing is farce and beauty is a satiric comedy. I think in order to make a successful comedy you need to incorporate the use of irony. Beauty and Sure Thing are proof of that “comedy is

“Are you sure this is the place?” Elcarien and Lydia stood on a hill to the north a bandit camp known as Halted Stream Camp. A camp surrounded by a log palisade with two gates; one to the east, and another to the south. The storm had subsided some since they 'd left their house, so they could now see well enough to forge an attack plan. “It has to be,” Elcarien replied. “The only other nearby camp that I know of is some distance southwest of home.” “You mean the one set up at the old fort?” Lydia

language as a major literary theme. One of these works is Sure Thing by David Ives. This play emphasizes the significance of language in a light-hearted, humorous account of two strangers that meet in a local café and begin to talk to each other in the hopes of obtaining a date. In Sure Thing, Ives uses many literary techniques to portray the value of language as a main theme within his play, including minimalism, symbolism, and repetition. In Sure Thing, Ives’ minimalistic approach to the setting is
