Spirit Of The Game
... next chapter in the section is called Team Game. This chapter in my opinion talks about the most important part of the game, which is teamwork. In the beginning hockey did not have all the individually talented players of today, it was all about the team. The 1932 Detroit Falcons, which would soon be, renamed the Red Wings were a prime example of a 1920-1950s-hockey team. Not one player on the team tried to put their own individual statistics before the team, no matter how good they were. With this intense team playing style they won the Stanley cup the following season. The next and final chapter in section ...

Beowulf And His Pride
... he managed to kill nine sea monsters with his bare hands and still
caught up to Brecca. He apparently bragged to such an extent that everyone in
Scandinavia knew about this race and the courageous way he cleared the sea of
evil. He, at this young age, had no need to think about death. All he
thought about was foolishly having fun and proving himself to the spectators.

people accepted him as a deserving warrior and permitted him to do what ever he
needed to rid t ...

golden blond hair, hazel eyes, a thin and delicate nose, and a small
chin to make her face look heart shaped. According to the town Cathy
lived, Cathy had a scent of sweetness, but that is just what Cathy
wanted
the town to see and think when Cathy planned her kill. On page ...

... survive a combined American/British firebombing raid that devastated the city and killed an estimated 135,000 people - more than the number of deaths in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.

Although Achilles knows that he is fated to be killed in battle, when his faithful and devoted friend Patroclus is mercilessly and dishonorably cut down in combat, he puts aside his pride and chooses to temporarily forget about his previous feuds with Agamemnon that have, up until now, ...
