My Favorite Game

The game I enjoy playing most is Field Hockey. I started to play this glorious sport competitively my freshman year of high school. I played all four years and played on various club teams. Though my love for this game was strong, its love for me my junior year was not as true. My junior year of high school I tore my ACL at field hockey practice. I went through a reconstructive surgery and almost a year of rehab. Though field hockey betrayed me, I have never lost my passion for it. Our love hate relationship continues as I now play on the Clemson club field hockey team and continue to get bruised and cut from the hard ceramic ball and solid composite sticks. Overall, some of the best memories I hold from high school have been memories of playing field hockey and memories of all the team cohesiveness.

What Defines Reality?


What is reality?  Reality is vague term that can hold so much meaning. Reality is different for every person, every social group, and every culture. This can be proven very easily. For example, why is every reality television show different? Some shows consider reality partying at the New Jersey shore, while others consider reality dealing with teen pregnancies. Reality can be captured through pictures, video, audio, and the perception one has. But, above all else, reality is a way of life that one lives.

Rhetoric Advertisement

This Corona advertisement displays uses of rhetoric. The words, "separation anxiety" are displaying how a Corona and lime go together and are simply irresistible. The line is short and funny, but quickly gets the message across to the reader. The beach in the background sets the mood for a "cool and relaxing" setting and instantly portrays Corona Extra as a beer that enables relaxation and a good time.
