Finally i threw the first pitch and the kid just stood there and watched the first pitch go right down the middle and you could hear a ¨pop¨ from it hitting that light brown catchers mitt, ¨Strike one,¨ which was a confidence gainer. Then the crowd took a huge breath in, and I turn around and the big radar gun on the scoreboard said ¨89¨ even i shook my head in disbelief about how hard that first pitch was.

That's why baseball is so tough because it is more mental than physical most of the…

Gogh’s work appeals to us not only for it being pleasing to…

Free at Last… My overall impression of the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is that it was very captivating and interesting.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest If someone else was manipulating and the engineering one’s idea of society and normality, what would one expect?

The thing that everyone needs to think about when watching this movie is if McMurphy was the hero or if he is just some patient that is only…

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is ranked number thirty-three out of one-hundred films on the AFI’s (American Film Institute’s) One Hundred Greatest Films of All Time list, and rightfully so. I first watched this film in my sociology class entitled: Deviant Behavior. My professor emphasized the importance of how the people in the film were treated. This film captures the flaws of the mental health care system and shows that how people are treated effects their perception of themselves, others,…
