When I was a kid, I wasn't able to understand why people loved soccer so much. Adults, and even other kids, would spend almost two hours watching a match. To me, a soccer match was nothing but a bunch of men running after a ball, trying to kick it into a goal. It seemed silly to play it, even sillier to watch it.

As I grew up, however, and began to practice sports myself, I began to understand the thrill of the game. As a volleyball player - volleyball is now my favorite sport -, I felt excited about winning a match. It meant so much! It meant we were more skilled than the other team. It meant the hours and hours of practice had been worth it. It meant we were strong and capable individuals. It meant the world!

One day, someone explained the reason why to me. Sports are a substitute for our primordial competitive instincts. We are animals, just like any other animal there is out there, and we need to prove our worth. If we are smart and in good shape enough to bring food home and procreate - or win a volleyball or soccer match -, we deserve to stay alive. We don't die in the hands of unforgiving nature and our enemies.

Now, I watch sports through different eyes. I see them as a healthy competition, a way to channel our instincts and move our bodies. Volleyball, specially, is thrilling and beautiful to watch. It teaches us sportsmanship, respect, and teamwork.

Note: feel free to change anything about this text and make it more true to yourself.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.
