My cousin and I always fantasized about winning a golf tournament. We have never been in golf tournament before. Watching the pros on Television made it look very easy.

For third place Matt and Josh, for 2nd place with a tie Noah Nash, and Bobby and Robert, and Finally for first the winner is Luke and Tyler.” My cousin and I were one stroke from getting first. We were not really happy about it, but we had a great time. One thing I feel like I learned is that you gotta have more preparation for a golf tournament, because it takes a lot of

Pacino’s Looking for Richard is a modern reinterpretation of the underlying themes from Shakespeare’s Richard III. Power, ambition, and free will are recurrent themes in both, yet they also relate to the more basic elements of what makes us human. It is what has changed between Shakespeare’s portrayal of a monster and Pacino’s subversion of the character which gives insight into the respective contextual concerns. Pacino’s Looking for Richard demonstrates how the reshaping of an original text, Richard III, is influenced by the cultural assumptions, context and key values. P1 - Cultural assumptions - the pursuit of power Shakespeare makes symbolic use of cultural assumptions Religion was a very integral and key part of the Elizabethan era.
