Game or Sport?
Golf: Is it a game or sport? Many people argue that golf is a game, not a sport. A game is defined as an activity engaged in for diversion or amusement. A sport is defined as physical activity engaged in for pleasure. Based upon these definitions, golf is a game and not a sport.
When golfers play, they very rarely wear any form of protective gear to protect their bodies from impact that may take place during the game. In fact, golf is very rarely described as the sport of golf. Instead, it is referred to as the game of golf. On the other hand, we hear football, soccer, volleyball, and lacrosse referenced as sports, but the activity of engaging in competitions with other people are games. On its own, this fact should help people who are speculating about golf better understand that the competition is what makes a game, not the actual activity itself.
Ultimately, the question of game or sport may boil down to semantics, or the study of words and their meanings. In this case, it is cut and dry. Golf is a solo activity that is more mental than physical. When people consider the challenges of being an athlete, one thing they very rarely worry about is the competition they will face with their minds. Golf, while it may have some physical elements, is purely mathematics and focus. Athleticism on the other hand, is the inner competition and the drive to win against competitors.
Which argument has the strongest support in the passage?
A.
Golf relies on more mental than physical ability.
B.
Golf lacks the use of protective gear.
C.
Golf is is not considered competitive.
D.
Golf is a game played for amusement.

Consider the speakers in "the raven" and the speaker in "the song of wandering aengus." write two paragraphs to compare and contrast the voice in these two poems. how does the poet give the speaker in each poem a distinctive voice? what effect does this voice have in each poem? use examples from each poem to as evidence for your answer "the raven"once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten loreâwhile i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.ââtis some visitor,â i muttered, âtapping at my chamber doorâonly this and nothing more.âah, distinctly i remember it was in the bleak december, and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. eagerly i wished the morrow; âvainly i had sought to borrowfrom my books surcease of sorrowâsorrow for the lost lenoreâfor the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name lenoreânameless here for evermore. and the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtainthrilled meâfilled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; so that now, to still the beating of my heart, i stood repeatingââtis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber doorâsome late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; this it is and nothing more.â"the song of wandering aengus." i went out to the hazel wood, because a fire was in my head, and cut and peeled a hazel wand, and hooked a berry to a thread; and when white moths were on the wing, and moth-like stars were flickering out, i dropped the berry in a streamand caught a little silver trout. when i had laid it on the floori went to blow the fire aflame, but something rustled on the floor, and some one called me by my name: it had become a glimmering girlwith apple blossom in her hairwho called me by my name and ranand faded through the brightening air. plz hurry
