Synthesis Paper (2 texts)

The two texts that I decide doing my synthesis paper on is the story “Learning the Language” and the movie “Glory Road”. They both have similarities and differences even though they are both different type of texts. The similarities that “Learning the Language” and “Glory Road” have is that they both succeed in what they are doing. Glory Road succeeds by becoming the first Division I NCAA basketball team to start five black players. It was a big thing back then because it was during the time of racism and everybody was known as white players starting and playing the game of basketball. Learning the Language was a story of a family that only knew how to speak Spanish. They live in the United States so they had a hard time to speak English. The little boy was ashamed on how their parents try to speak English. The similarities of both texts are that they both had to work hard to get where they want to be at. The family had to work hard just to try to speak dissent English to communicate in public. The differences are that the both texts succeed differently. The other differences is how the boy from “Learning the Language” is ashamed of his parents on how they spoke English and the coach from “Glory Road” was not ashamed to start five black guys.

What is Joy?

When I think of joy I think of basketball. Joy is something that brings happiness to a person. Joy is a greater feeling then happiness but brings laughter and smile to a person. And playing or coaching basketball is something that brings a smile to my face and I enjoy doing it.

Where in this picture do you see a female? When do you ever see a girl play football? I yet have once seen a girl play football. Football is a type of sport that is rough and body to body contact. Football is known as a manly sport. Not a sport that girls would be playing. Girls are more into lease contact and complain about getting hurt or breaking a fingered nail. Guys are known to be manly and do manly things. And football is a manly sport that’s why you do not see any girls play it. It’s like guys play football and girls are cheerleaders. Guys are known to protect the girls from danger. Guys also protect their family no matter what the situation is. Girls are more known as weak people who need guys to protect them. Girls do not like to get hurt of feel any type of pain. Football is a sport full with pain. From broken body parts to getting season ending surgery. In sports you hardly hear a girl going into season ending surgery and guys are more likely to go. Season ending surgery is any type of surgery that will make you miss the end of the season of the sport. Football is known for grapping body parts to bring down the person with the football. No matter is it’s head to head contact of what. Girls are lease likely to do any type of sports that is considering a contact sport.
