The thrill of the grass
Symbol- Grass represents freedom because it reminds you when you were a child playing on the grass and when you were free so with the grass back your free.
Baseball represents america because it's americas' sport and baseball is identified as americas' sport.
Protagonist- locksmith who breaks into the field.
Antagonist- society
Conflict- Person vs Society because society was the one who put the artificial turf in the baseball field so without them putting the grass in the field there would be no conflict.
Point of view- 1st person
inciting event- When he first breaks into the baseball field because he finds out that the grass is artificial turf because that's when he starts his rebuttal.
Climax- when they lay down the first sod.
A failed shortstop who is now a locksmith breaks into the his old baseball field and finds that the grass is artificial turf. He doesn't think its the same old baseball with fake grass and the strike should be on the grass and not for the reason they are really striking for. He goes to find a big baseball that goes to every game to help him with his plan to switch the grass. Him and his baseball buddy round up some more people and they go and put in squares of real grass.
It shows that all new things and new technology isn't liked by everyone and it doesn't make every thing easier.
This story relates to home because the baseball field is where is home use to be and its not the same with the new grass, like the grass had old memories and they are gone because the grass is gone.
This story relates to technology because the artificial turf is a newer version of grass and it makes it easier to take care of because you don't have to mow it.
The grass in the story relates to freedom because they didn't have to choice to change it to artificial turf.

Words of the day
The man’s insolence towards the police officer got him put in jail.
The churlish boy got detention for his attitude.
The irate student failed the English test.
The efficacy of the cupcake satisfied the grandma.
The girls cajole their friends to steal the cookies.
The security guard pummels the guy who tried to sneak into the party.
The perspicacity of the teacher was good for the student and gave him another day to make up work.
The assiduous employee got a raise.
The criminal maliciously shot the costumer in the grocery store.

is Marilyn responsible?
Marilyn is responsible, just because she broke a law doesn't mean that she isn't responsible. she should have known better not to go on the ship because she knew that she was breaking some kind of law. There was even a sign that said keep out, she was every uneducated with the laws and regulations. Sense she didn't know the laws she put not only her life in danger she put many other men lives in danger and could kill everyone. If she would have waited another year to see her brother and didn't get on the ship no one would be in this much danger.

Harrison Bergeron
Freedom is a privledge to have, some people have it and others don't. freedom is something you have to earn, either from graduating high school and going to college living under your own rules to working eight hours and having to rest of the day off and having the freedom to do whatever you want for the rest of the day. freedom is the power to act, speak, or think as one wants. Equality is being the same in quantity, size, degree, or value. To me being equal means most people have no freedom and have to do what everyone else does and it all has to be the same. In Harrison Bergeron everyone has to be equal in every way. i would not like to live in a world like that because nobody would be good at different things. No one would be reconized or reworded for what they do best. Like Michael Phelps would not be rewarded for how good of a swimmer he is because everyone would be just as good as him or he would have to be worse. If everyone was equal you would not have the freedom to act as your best or think to the best of your ablilty. in the definition of freedom you have the freedom to act or think as one wants, if everyone was equal you would think and act but not to the best of your ability. if everyone was equal you wouldn't dare to be different or be your self and life would be the same and boring.
