It's not poms, it's boys basketball
When we first began to read Jane Eyre we discussed different perspectives on arguments between two people. We talked about weather someone should fight back to try to change things or whether someone should just mind their own business and let things be and hope that they get better over time. Both situations have their pros and cons but my personal opinon is if someone feels strongly about something or is getting abused they should fight back because nothing will change unless you stand up for yourself. Recently a real life event occured that connects to this very idea and connects to the time Jane Eyre stood up for herself. When Jane Eyre was about to leave for school in the beginning of the book she finally decided to stand up for herself and tell Ms. Reed exactly how she felt about everything that she has done to Jane. In the end Ms. Reed doesnt fight back because Jane argues so strongly that Ms. Reed can't fight back. My real life connection to this idea that was placed in the book is the controversey over the warm-up cd for basketball games. Both the girls and boys basketball team made cds for THEIR games with music THEY like and want to get jacked up to. But all of a sudden the poms team decides that they are gonna make their own cd so that they can perform before the game. Last time i checked people were mainly there to watch the basketball game and not watch poms sit there and clap there poms together to some music that no one can get jacked up to. Should the basketball team's fight back and try to get their own music even though they might get in trouble or should they just let it be and let the poms team start making decisions for the basketball teams??

I think that in this case the basketball team should fight back and try to get their own music even though it may anger some people. The poms team has their own competitions and can play whatever music they want to there. In this scenario I think that the basketball team should be like Jane Eyre and let everything out in order to get something accomplished.
ReplyDeleteYEAH JACOB!!! I really don't mean to be hostile or start anything here but, contrary to some people's belief the crowd is definitely there to watch the basketball game. Also I couldn't help but notice that there pre-game routine looks pretty much the same for any song so the song selection shouldn't make any difference to them. The poms team's time to shine is at half time and it is then they can have their own music. It is the basketball team's warm up therefore the basketball team's warm up cd should be the one used.
