Near one o'clock that morning, I awoke to the sound of machine-gun fire. They struck while we slept in our assumed safety and woke us with gunfire. I was on my feet in an instant reaching for my 9mm pistol and barking out orders. It was then, in the middle of the rubble that I had realized my folly. A huge metal door lay open, the hole in the ground that it had been capping gaped open, ready to either claim a hapless soldier or belch the enemy back up. My orders did nothing we had .....

Physical Education In Secondary Schools
Words: 1140 - Pages: 5.... of physical activities". The second factor, "is the person physically
fit". The third factor is "does this person participate regularly in physical
activity". The fourth is a physically fit person "knows the implications of and
the benefits from involvement in physical activity". The last factor is that a

Teacher's unions. (Dube, A4)

based system will lead to a two-tiered system of winners and losers and
that those in greatest need of support will fall by the way .....

Why Is Religion Important
Words: 443 - Pages: 2.... Week, which focused on death and pain, meetings about family and divorce, lectures to help people reach for their goals, and encouragement speakers. There is a great deal of fun incorporated into all the seriousness, though. We went on ski trips, did missionary work, and put on skits. All of these activities involved Christ in some way, and helped the younger generation to realize that being spiritual was not “uncool.” When I attended the FCA meetings, it was the one time that I actually felt free from all my problems. FCA helped me to find my spiritual self and gave me a sense of completion.
Religion is the main source .....

Beowulf Values
Words: 328 - Pages: 2.... in Beowulf.
Fate was also very important in the poem. The Anglo-Saxons believed that fate controlled their lives and decided their outcome. The thought that each action and outcome was predetermined and they couldn’t control their destiny. Each battle to them was already decided, and they just had to try their best. The quote "fate will unwind as it must (189) shows clearly that fate was valued.

Do to social construction, my mother grew up believing that there were certain jobs for men and certain jobs for women. Ironically it was the changing society of the late 60's and early 70's that gave my mother the motivation to question tradition. I feel that in this situation it's not society in general that constructs gender but simply ignorance through tradition. In my mothers case it wasn't society at all but merely her families strict traditional values that tried construct her into the "traditional women" figure.
Even though many years have past since my mother .....
