...performances. Although sports fans attempt to compare the two players, many will agree that Michael Jordan carries the best offensive and defensive numbers, while Kobe Bryant holds the title of the youngest all-star to ever enter the National Basketball Association. Both Jordan and Bryant were offered huge endorsement deals, with Kobe Bryant taking the lead as one of the largest global brands, in basketball history. The game of basketball is a rewarding sport that allows its players to give back to the community. There is no competition, when it comes to giving back to the community, as each player is equally involved in charitable organizations. In the professional basketball world, sports fans will agree that Michael Jordan is the better player, while other fans are loyal to Kobe Bryant. When looking at offensive and defensive numbers, objectivity and a hard look at the facts leaves one conclusion without a doubt, that Michael Jordan is one of the greatest players in NBA history. He is famous for blocked shots, rebounds, and scoring an average of 30 points per game, during his career (Squidoo, 2012). As an offensive player, Jordan has the advantage. In his best season, his fans will count on him to average 37 points per game compared to Kobe Bryant’s best season of 35 points per game. Michael Jordan, a true team player, averages eight assists per game in his best season, and an average of five assists during his career. Unlike Jordan, Kobe Bryant, as an offensive player...

...Death of a Salesman Ceena Kebriti JKR How does the Willy/Biff relationship reveal some of the plays important ideas? In Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman,’ Willy and Biff’s relationship is used to demonstrate very important ideas in the play. As a father is so important in a boy’s childhood, Willy’s life has a strong influence in Biff’s decisions. A father has a different connection than a mother, (in this case Linda) and relate uniquely. A father should know when to play an active role in his son’s life, or when to stay passive and let him make his own decisions and learn from them. In this case Willy’s parenting style doesn’t allow Biff to grow independent, learn moral lessons, and realize the importance of education. The first theme that their relationship highlights is the ‘American Dream.’ Willy has always had his mind set on the idea that if you are well liked you can succeed. He also saw being a salesman as the best job you could get. ‘Bernard can get the best marks in school… you are going to be five times ahead of him.’ Here we see that Willy is teaches his boys his reading of society that being well liked is more important than a good education. However, later in the play Miller makes it obvious that this is not true. ‘How do you like this kid? Gonna argue a case in front of the Supreme Court.’ Miller through stage directions, makes Willy happy for Bernard’s success, but shocked and pained by the fact that he succeeded, in...

...In chapters 24-30 of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, there is a clear theme of morals influencing one’s actions as events become more personal. Huck understands that the the duke and dauphin are dishonest men, but he does not think much about it; they are, at first, scamming random, gullible people who Huck has no connection with.
