Term Papers on A Field In A Dream
A Field in a Dream The day was hot; not a cloud in the sky, the air could NOT be any calmer. The sun beat down on the freshly cut field. It was my last home game of my senior year. I walk out to the football field to feel it's potential and its softness. The field runs north and south. It is right in the middle of two mountains in a valley. There is a big white "PV" on the face of the mountain to the north. To the east of the field is an open country field, with cows. The cows nested right next to the fence by the football field, watching the teams warm up. There are white lines on the football field that mark the boundaries and end zones. To the west of the field are the stands for all the Plateau Valley Cowboy fans sit and cheer us on. With a little old, white, shed just to the right that contains all the refreshments for all the out lookers. The parking lot on the backside of the stands holds all the vehicles that transport the local crowd to the football game. The highway just south of the field also is a parking lot for those vehicles that can't make it into the parking lot. The field is surrounded by the mountains and is the center of attention on this very day. Two bright white goal posts stood erect at each end of the field, strapped with green pads to protect the players who might run into the goal posts. Down the visitors sideline the landmarks that are yellow with black numbers, to remind the players what yard line there on. At each goal line there was a bright orange square pad that marked the destination that you had to reach in order to triumph. To the north stood right off the track stood the old blue scoreboard. This scoreboard has seen its days. Some lights don't even work and some of the white letters are faded. There were many places were the team could get focused up and ready for the game. I had a certain routine. Every home game I would come to the school at least three hours before the game would start. I would park my little red mobile TYPE OF CAR MIGHT BE A GOOD DETAIL TO ADDat the end of the empty parking lot, were the basketball courts are. Around the school was the locker room filled with ugly gray lockers, and helmets and shoulder pads that were on the hangers. The stench in that locker room reeked like two-week-old sweat and bad BO. You can only stay in that locker room for so long. Then you have to leave because you can't stand the smell anymore. Then to the practice field it is. With holes that could break anyone's ankle. The half-dead grass caused by all the practicing we do on it and the divots are all over the place, form our cleats. This is where I start my warm up. As I am jogging around stretching the kinks out of my muscles the rest of the team starts to show up. The second teammate that WHO is always here after me, is Hank Bevan. Hank is a big guy real stocky, a little soggy around the mid section, but he is real tough. He gets out of his white Ford and greets me then walks into that stinky locker room. I did my entire warm ups on that field. The sun was at a morning height. I have cottonmouth form the butterflies in my stomach and running in the sun. Right across the red track laid the field of dreams. SOME OF THIS PARAGRAPH SEEMS A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE Ever since I was a kid I could remember watching Barry Sanders moving around the TV screen like a cat. Thinking to myself one day I will be thereTHIS IS A FRAGMENT--AN INCOMPLETE SENTENCE. There it was just 50 feet from were I was standing. The sport that all my love is for, was this one and all my life I wanted to play. This was the last game that I was going to play on my home field. All the blood, sweat and tears I put into the last four years were all out on that field. After throwing around the football with other teammates who showed up early. I go back down to the locker room and sta... This is ONLY a preview of the article. If you would like to view the entire document, you must subscribe to Digital Term Papers.
