The Basketball Game I believe it is important at some point, for Arnold to play with his old best friend, because they had very good friendship and memories that I do not think it will fade that ease. It does not matter whether Rowdy is enemy to Arnold because of the changing that happen in the schools. But the important thing that Arnold did was the way he was trying to show his little basketball talents to Rowdy. He was also willing to win the game, but unfortunately he got in to an accident that…

a woman’s basketball game on November 17. I chose this event to attend because there weren’t many other athletic events happening at the time, so this was one of my only options. I also thought that a sporting event taking place inside would be more bearable than one outside. I’d only been to one basketball game before, and I didn’t enjoy it that much.

My eyes glanced at the clock, noticing that there was only 10 seconds left. I heard the many screams of the crowd. Some telling me to shoot, pass, or drive. My coach was…

It was game day today. My teammates and I had a game against our rivalry high school Alta and we were pumped because we have beaten them every year since 2014.

There was not a season where we lost against them and today certainly would not be that day. Class finished and the clock read 3, our game started at 5:30…

or liars or whatever you want to call them . . . . They would talk and talk and talk, and I listened to them. (Laney 1974:3) As you can see the stories told to Mr. Gaines, is a memory that will stay with him for the rest of his natural life. A narrative story should have the same effect on his audience, should be captivating, intriguing, or the very least interesting. Anyone, who ever told a story, would want their story to be remembered and share to other, so that story or memory can live vivid…
