I also remember how fascinated and fond I was of my brother. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1148467 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1148467 Tue, 13 Nov 2018 15:12:54 -0500 The introduction was effective in catching my attention. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1148465 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1148465 Fri, 02 Nov 2018 06:55:27 -0400 You do have a point. Some people may take personal offense and think negatively of the article, although t may have good points. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907978 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907978 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:29:40 -0500 They're using a lot of humor, and it's pretty clear which side they're on in banning dodgeball or not. S https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907977 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907977 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:28:19 -0500 There is so much humor in the article. Honestly, I would feel the same if dodgeball was banned here. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907976 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907976 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:27:45 -0500 The author is basically saying that instead of taking efforts to promote school safety (from something as dangerous and harmful as school shootings), they are paying attention into a much more trivial thing like dodgeball. S https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907974 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907974 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:26:01 -0500 I'm guessing the author's bias is towards continuing dodgeball, not banning it. S https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907973 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907973 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:24:09 -0500 No, dodgeball is played with a lot of balls. It would be difficult to get such a large number of people out with only a couple balls. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907971 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907971 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:23:17 -0500 The title itself is arguable and unexpected - in real life, the saying usually goes something like the strong being the highest and getting everything. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907967 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=907967 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 15:38:07 -0500 I agree. The author describes dodgeball as a game of survival - it really makes the game much more nerve-wracking and intense! C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907965 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907965 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:05:13 -0500 Yes. As we continue reading, we can see that the "small" helps him move quickly with much agility, and being "timid" helped him survive to the end without getting hit until he faced the final face off with Jay. S https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907963 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907963 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:03:32 -0500 Bullying the unathletic kids was very common - I saw a lot of it in school. Just because the narrator was good at dodging doesn't mean his status became high. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907961 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907961 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:02:37 -0500 Not all the time does the small, timid people win. In my experience, the shorter people had an advantage (as they were harder to hit), but they weren't timid as they love taking risks and throwing the balls. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907958 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907958 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 14:54:34 -0500 Although there may be plenty of others that dislike sports and dodgeball, most of the people I have seen love dodgeball. This reminded me of elementary and middle school. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907956 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=907956 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 14:51:01 -0500 It amazes me how dedicated and faithful is to God. I don't know if I could take such a loss like he did. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=903171 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=903171 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 23:08:36 -0500 This is basically showing how rich he is - back then, he probably would have been one of the richest people. S https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=903168 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=903168 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 23:00:00 -0500 If I remember correctly, Job was an ideal follower of God, and was rich in everything. I think God let Satan take away all of Job's belongings to see if he still remained faithful to God. P https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=903166 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=903166 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 22:58:10 -0500 This shows how terrible and cruel humans can be when they want to get something. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903161 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903161 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 13:48:28 -0500 I feel terribly sorry for the angel. The simile powerfully describes how he was treated in the story. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903159 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903159 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 22:43:04 -0500 The baby must have been dying, but was saved because of the old angel failing to come for him/her. S/P https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903157 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903157 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 18:30:54 -0500 I wonder why there were so many crabs inside the house in the first place. By "they" do they mean Pelayo and his family killing the crabs because they were stuck inside the house and had nothing else to do? A https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903156 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903156 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 22:40:12 -0500 Here is the magical element of the story - an angel. C/S https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903154 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=903154 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 22:38:13 -0500 I hope he doesn't blame himself...it wasn't Gary's or anyone's fault. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=901774 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=901774 Mon, 11 Dec 2017 22:38:57 -0500 This described it in a very detailed way - I can imagine how horrifying it would be. C https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=901773 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=901773 Mon, 11 Dec 2017 22:37:46 -0500 The mother means that the girls are amazing swimmers, but the event that happened earlier the day traumatized them in a way that they are now afraid of the water. S https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=901772 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=901772 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 13:08:23 -0500 No, I think he meant that the boy is stunned/shocked that he cannot speak. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=901771 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=901771 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 19:27:12 -0500 I had to read this backwards starting from the end to understand everything.
