This is my English assignment.. could somebody possibly tell me if it makes sense and if its very informative?
Can you please also fix any spelling errors and point out something that doesnt make sense... thank you Media Investigation – Language in Sports Good Morning/Afternoon *********** and fellow Class Members. Today I have chosen the following articles, “Hurricanes vs. Waratahs Match Report,†as article 1 and, “HSBC Waratahs kick off 2009 with Bonus Point Victory!†as article 2, both about the first match of the Rugby Union Season. These articles are being used to show different examples of positive and negative writing angles in the language of Sports. The articles were written to inform readers about the match that took place between the HSBC Waratahs and Hurricanes on the 13th of February at Westpac Stadium in Wellington. The Waratahs are a New South Whales Rugby Union Team, based in Sydney and were Australia’s first Union Team, founded in 1865. The Hurricanes are a New Zealand team, based in Wellington and were formed in late 1995, early 1996. The first article follows a negative perspective of the match practically suggesting that the Waratahs win was simple luck and although the Hurricanes lost they played extremely well. The writer's tone set a negative discourse throughout the article, using words and phrases such as: “Charged down a scrambling Beale...†“Hurricanes came storming back...†“Deservedly, the Hurricanes closed the deficit...†and “They kept pressing hard on attack...†These examples help to shape our reading and understanding of the match in a variety of ways. Certain words like charged or pressing hard are used to help create a picture in our minds of the Hurricanes working hard and pushing themselves to play their absolute best. Other words, such as scrambling, create an image of Beale or another Waratah player scrambling for the ball. While writing this story the author intended that the article be written for Hurricane Supporters, using words that would keep their fans from backing another team and attempting to get across to them that although their team lost they are exceptional players and there is a great chance that the Hurricanes will win most of their games for the rest of the season. The author also bases the game around the Hurricanes and how well they played barely touching any good points about the Waratahs. Through reading this article the audience, depending on which team they support, is supposed to feel that they have made an excellent decision in backing the Hurricanes and although the Waratahs team won it doesn’t mean they need to support them, they instead feel proud of the Hurricanes and are filled with anticipation. The Second Article was written using a negative outlook exaggerating how well the Waratahs played in their first game of the season even though the Hurricanes held up a strong defence. In this article, the author wrote with an extremely positive discourse, using words and phrases such as: “Triumphing...†“Waratahs defence remained steadfast...†“Beale sliced through the defensive line...†and “Dominated...†These words and phrases help to form our reading and understanding of the match in various ways. Descriptive words like sliced through and steadfast assist us in shaping images in our minds of Waratah players attacking and defending to the best of their ability in a way that no other team could. Additional words such as Triumphing and dominated create a picture of players defeating Hurricane members. This story was written with Waratah supporters in mind, using words that suggest their team is made up of outstanding players and it assists in making sure that fans continue backing the Waratahs, allowing the audience to truly believe that they have a very high chance in winning most of their games for the rest of the season. This author barely writes about a team playing badly throughout the article because the more outstanding it sounds when describing how well the Hurricanes played, the better the Waratahs are made out to be. When the audience is reading this account it is expected that, depending whether they support the Waratahs or not, they feel proud and supportive of their team. It makes them experience a sense of admiration knowing that they’re supporting a winning team, and not only are they winners but they are also extraordinary players. The reason behind both articles being written using completely different angles is article one was written by a Hurricanes supporter and article two was written by a Waratahs supporter. Both authors are inclined to write about the team they back as they believe that they are the better team and have more superior players. Thank you Yes, i realise this as i listen to no ones really but mine as i cant stand listening to people talk especially if-they-talk-like-this and really slow to leaving 2 second gaps between each word. Thank you though. i realise how boring it is, i feel like falling asleep even when reading it but... ill throw something into power point presentation to keep people attention. thank you haha yes, it is my own words as well thank you so much... it really helps guys... id ask my oarents but there alwasy busy so its great to have kind enough people on Y/A to help me.

What did God mean "those without love" or the natural love of humans ...in the time of the end
What did God mean "those without love" or the natural love of humans ...in the time of the end ?
. WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - Police arrested a man for leaving his 1-year-old baby in a car unattended during the early hours while he watched strippers at a nightclub in New Zealand's capital, and have placed the boy in welfare agency care. A passer-by called police after seeing the sleeping baby in a car parked near the Mermaid Strip Club in Wellington about 3 a.m. Tuesday. Police took the baby to hospital and arrested the father, 42, after he was located in the club, Inspector Simon Perry said. The man faces a charge of leaving a child under 14 without reasonable supervision, Perry said. The Child, Youth and Family agency has custody of the baby for five days while it works with the baby's relatives to decide on his future, agency deputy chief executive Ray Smith said. New Zealand's commissioner for children, John Angus, said leaving a child alone in a car at night was an "extreme form of neglect." "I would commend the member of the public who saw this poor child in the car and took some action to make it safe" by alerting police, Angus told National Radio. Authorities declined to confirm details of the baby's family situation, but Angus said he expected relatives to step in and warn the father that "it's not good enough for our child to be looked after this way." (AP) News 1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. .

Here is another rendering: (2 Timothy 3:1-5) 3 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. The Greek had four different words for "Love". The Greek word a′stor·goi, translated here as “having no natural affection,†refers to the natural bond family members have for one another, such as the love a mother has for her children.

That man is not a father Bilbo. Not to me. He doesn't deserve the privilege of raising a child. And I would personally like the opportunity to explain this to him face to face..

you have to remember that it is not wise to say that their have been better times than this (this is a proverb, i can't remember the exact text) that is to say, joseph was put in jail because a woman wanted to sleep with him, and when she was put to shame by him, she lied to harm his reputation (ultimately joseph was raised on high, the righteous shall be set free, especially since joseph suffered through much wrongful harm). the 2 woman who came to solomon, one was willing to lie even though she knew it was not her baby (a man's heart are deep waters, but a wise man draws them out, meaning solomon understood how to get a reaction that would show the true mother, he had no intent of killing the baby) abner raped his half sister, even though she was willing to marry him. etc.etc. the point is when it speaks of the last days, it is speaking spiritually, meaning that people will have no problem ignoring their own conscience in order to do what they want. if this man has really done what he has done, he will have to live with it for the rest of his life (even if he gets off light, everyone who knows him will remember) i often wonder as to the translation of such texts as well, as there are often subtleties in the text that are not brought forward as translators often believe they understand what is being written. in proverbs (and remember proverbs say one thing, but often mean the opposite somehow) it says "the poor man (blessed are the poor in spirit) loves pleasure, and since true pleasure (almost beyond imagination compared to regular life) is ultimately found with god, pleasure is not something that is wrong. another proverb would be "do not speak badly about a rich man" which obviously does not mean do not talk badly about someone who has money (though many will not talk badly in hopes of getting some of that money) but refers to not speaking badly about god, or his servants (the more that servant has honored god with his life, the more you should not speak badly about him, for instance in the case of elijah/elisha, they were defended fiercely by god, because they were righteous men, and especially because during elijah's time he felt as though he was the only servant of god left. this could have specific meaning as people who do these type of things in large proportion sort of turn your stomach (they are almost hard to be around, because they are like snakes, this is especially true of the religious hypocrites, meaning harshly condemning things they have done themselves, as someone may condemn something they have done themselves but still be acting in love as they truly believe it to be wrong. these people are like snakes in the grass, the sound of their voice is almost intolerable (you brood of vipers))

We should have natural affection one for another. In the instance of that poor child they obviously didn't care at all - pure selfishness. Sadly, selfishness does rather sum up the way so many people live their lives. Thankfully there are still some who are generous in their love and responsible.

✞ Exactly what He said...Men will be lovers of themselves...Its a terrible reality this day and age...we are seeing things that 20 years ago were unheard of..Thins are going to get worse though, we see this in the scriptures...

Could you give me some feedback
Could you give me some feedback?
Could you tell me what you think of this excerpt? What I would really like to know is if the counting sequence works for this part. It's the first part of chapter 18, so I'm sorry if it's a little confusing. When they arrived at the hospital Rebecca was taken to the emergency department, and Jacob was ushered into the waiting room. As he was being separated from his mother Ed reassured him once again that they would do all they could for Rebecca, before rushing into a busy hall with the gurney. Ed’s scratch wasn’t bleeding anymore, but a long pink line scarred his cheek. Behind Ed, Chuck scrambled to keep up before he too vanished behind a pair of double doors. With a sigh Jacob turned and headed towards a seat in the waiting area where he reluctantly sat down. He checked the clock on the wall. Seven in the morning. Soon the room would gradually fill as the day came, but for now Jacob was the only occupant. Wellington was slightly larger than Portland, but nevertheless it was still a rural community. The emergency room never housed more than one hundred patients a week, and the waiting period was always slim to none. Feet clicked on the white tile as a hospital nurse crossed in front of Jacob and entered through the double doors. The room was awfully bland. Tasteless white walls surrounded unkempt magazine bins and plastic vegetation. Untended children’s toys were scattered throughout the small lifeless room. The smell of disinfectant wafted through the air, and a chilled cold nipped at Jacob as he waited. Boredom overtook him quickly and soon he found himself counting up and down from one hundred over and over again. He always did this to pass the time away. It was one of his unusual practices that would drive most people insane. Yet it always calmed him. For some reason the rhythmic voice inside of his head, steadily counting back and forth, was the one thing that Jacob could rely on to ease his stress. Sometimes, when his parent’s would break out into a fight and the house would fill with screaming violence, Jacob would count. He would lose himself in his own rhythm, blocking out all other noise, leaving the fighting and his parents behind. He would withdraw from this world and recede into his very own one. He knew it wasn’t healthy, receding into his mind. But it was the only way to stop the screaming, the only way to end the pain. This method worked doubly well whenever he needed to forget the pain left after his father hit him. The anguish would leave his body and Jacob would be lost in numbers. He would retreat into his own mind, never coming out until forced to. There was something about the counting that distracted him from the despair. Like anesthesia to a patient, his thoughts would drift from the pain and focus on the rhythm. It was his way out if he ever had one. He couldn’t leave his pathetic existence, so he created another one, deep inside of his own mind. There, in that existence, he was free from pain and distress. There his father could drink without beating him. There his mother could laugh without laughing at him. There his parents could talk without screaming. There he could live without fear that he would die in that hellhole, die and never get out. And most importantly, in that pitiful existence he had created for himself, he could live like an equal to Travis. Oh God how he wished it were real. How he wished he weren’t dead to the real world. Oh yes, he was alive and loved inside of his own little fantasy, but when he was brought to reality, when he was stolen back to the depths of dehumanization, he was dead to the world. Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine. His mother was giving him a warm hug, embracing him tightly to her chest as tears of pity rolled down her cheeks. “I love you Mom,†Jacob said as she tenderly kissed him on the chick. “I love you too son.†She said back. Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two. He was in the living room watching a movie with his parents. “Do you want a drink Isaac dear?†Rebecca asked to Jacob’s father. “Oh no, not tonight. It’s family night sweetheart!†Jacob’s father said before turning to Jacob and smiling. That was right. It was family night. Thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five. Jacob peered outside at the rain through the kitchen window. Underneath a tree in the backyard Travis huddled and cried as tears mixed with cold rainwater under his eyes. Travis wept, and wept, and wept. Just as he had done before…. Just as he had done.
