Tracey Lindberg’s novel Birdie is narratively constructed in a contorting and poetic manner yet illustrates the seriousness of violence experience by Indigenous females. The novel is about a young Cree woman Bernice Meetoos (Birdie) recalling her devasting past and visionary journey to places she has lived and the search for home and family. Lindberg captures Bernice’s internal therapeutic journey to recover from childhood traumas of incest, sexual abuse, and social dysfunctions. She also presents Bernice’s self-determination to achieve a standard of good health and well-being. The narrative presents Bernice for the most part lying in bed and reflecting on her dark life in the form of dreams.
A basket toss in cheerleading is a skill that is required in every routine taken to competition, it is a checkmark on the score sheet. A basket toss is when you have two bases, a back and a flyer, and sometimes a front. The side bases main job is to make sure they use the most force and proper technique possible to throw the flyer into the air. The backs main job is to guide the flyer through the right path in the air so he/she does not go flying forward or backwards, the front also does the same. The flyers job is to stay super tight in the air by squeezing their bum cheeks together and flexing their abs.
PACE TECHNICAL PAPER ROUGH DRAFT This experiment was conducted in an attempt to have wooden baseball bats brought back to NCAA and high school and children’s leagues, too. The experiment idea was to set up a pendulum where the bat swung down and hit the ball in the same spot every time. Then I measured where the ball hit the ground.
Attempting to hit the ball at a certain height and angle. Therefore resulting in a more powerful and effective
Many African Americans including Jackie Robinson have suffered through difficulties due to their difference in race. All throughout history, many African Americans had to live life with caution because they didn't have the same rights that other white people did. In “The Noble Experiment” it talks about how Robinson and other African Americans had to be on the lookout to make sure that what they said or did wouldn’t affect them later on. If an African American was caught disrespecting a white person then the people would assume that they were a danger to the rest of the people. If they were given the opportunity to have a career they had to make sure that they chose the correct decision.
The author did a good job at explain the four basic racquetball serves. He started by generally describing the primarily serving goal, pointing out that in order to win a 15 point game, at least 5 points should come from serves that were not returned by the opponent. After the brief introduction, the author provided clear and detailed information about each serve. He started by describing the serve Z and The Drive, which are attacking serves. I liked how he mentioned that these 2 serves should be tried at the first serving attempt because they are more complicated and therefore more likely to be a fault.
The voices of Indigenous children are unheard and purposely ignored. This is portrayed through the literature of Birdie by Tracey Lindberg and Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. Despite both apologies from Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau, the government system to protect First Nations children appears to have detrimental effects on the life of a child. This is proven by young children turning to drugs in order to satisfy their growing pain, family members who abuse their children because they consume high amounts of alcohol, which has a negative impact on the child, and discriminatory behaviour by surrounding communities. To begin with, young children turning to drugs in order to satisfy their growing pain.
Conversely, the lecturer takes the view that some af those balls should have been broken or some damaging should have be seen on those providing that those have been used for hunting or fighting purpose. Whereas, no damage effect is found on stone balls ' surface.
Bird H-K hates Alayzdrew, but why? Several things happened to a girl that we now know as Bird H-K. These things are what turned her into what she is today, a villain. Not just a villain, but a villain that has dedicated her life to two things, winning in the battle against Alayzdrew, and winning the love from Lil Uzi Vert. But to really know why she's so dedicated to these things so much, you will need some background information.
Throughout my high school experience I have been part of the Allen Eagles Competitive Shooting Team (AECST). For those of you not aware competitive shooting is a sport where athletes use shotguns to shoot clay pigeons in a variety of games, with the main three being: skeet, trap and sporting clays. Since the moment I began practicing and competing with the AECST I have noticed subtle changes in my day to day life such as being more responsible and respectful to my peers. Competitive shooting is such a great sport because any one is able to compete in competitions. It’s not a sport that is closed off to certain parts of the population due to items like a physical deformity or a mental handicap; and thats what makes competitive shooting so
Bump, set, spike! In the article History of Volleyball, “No Author”, began with one man, that one man’s name is William G. Morgan.in Holyoke, Mass. William wanted a sport that could be played by everybody no matter their age. Something that would provide exercise, but nothing too aggressive. The first name he came up with for this game was “Mintonette”, until they came up with volleyball as the new name.

Kate Chopin’s novel, The Awakening opens with a scene of two birds, emphasizing that the motif of birds later within the novel will play an important part with setting the constant metaphor they bring. Throughout the whole novel the motif of birds is a metaphor for the Victorian women during that period -- caged birds serve as reminders of Edna’s entrapment and the entrapment of Victorian women in general. Edna makes many attempts to escape her cage (husband, children, and society), but her efforts only take her into other cages, such as the pigeon house. Edna views this new home as a sign of her independence, but the pigeon house represents her inability to remove herself from her former life, due to the move being just “two steps away” (122).
In the story, “on Birds, Bird Watching and Jazz” by Ellison, the interesting theory as to how Charles Porter Jr. got his nickname as “Bird “ is told using humor in his stories along with a careful choice of syntax and his diction. In the first paragraph, the author uses alliteration,”...and despite the crabbed and constricted character…” to give us an insight on the figure he is speaking about. The author also chooses these words to build up an impression and then breaks it by saying Parker was a most intensive melodist. In the second paragraph of this story, Ellison establishes what a nickname does and how it would originate. Continuing on, Ellison introduces a new fact to the audience, that jazzmen were labeled as cats because they were legends.
The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational pull. This applies to momentum as well, more mass = more momentum. Doubling an object’s mass will double its momentum and gravitational pull as well, so dancers with different masses will be able to jump or leap at the same height. For my experiment, I decided to put the things I learned about momentum in the dance studio.
