And players or teammates like our family members are just riding along.<BR/><BR/>Lions and tigers prey their food in minutes, but sleep and rest in hours day and night. They are beautiful whether in hunting and sleeping. <BR/><BR/>Soccer is about chasing a few glorious flash and goals under lifelong hardworking sacrifices in strength and spirit, after matches often judged under a moral value. Not as other sports that everything is made easy to draw weekend sport "lovers" to sit there for hours eat, drink, consume while organizations leavening their profits by making peoples grow unhealthily.<BR/><BR/>In soccer, a player does not wait to bat a good ball, he does not rely on physical prowess to play, he does not need a tall body to participate, he needs to sweat, spit, run, tackle, fall hard in every sec of game, and all his efforts may not give him a good result. That's just life. Everyone knows, especially writers understand it.<BR/><BR/>I am not a writer. I do not know the difference btwn fiction or non-fiction. But life and love can be put in any genre. Same as any story a writer tells, from a reader's mind, it's truth or lie.<BR/>But who cares, as long as it speaks.<BR/><BR/>From A Soccer FanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214489875213933536.post-53034399264641187372007-02-18T11:33:00.000-06:002007-02-18T11:33:00.000-06:00I think so, too. Some people seem to think if you'...I think so, too. Some people seem to think if you're teacing a nonfiction class you should use only nonfiction. But I learn so much from poetry and fiction, and I read so much fiction that I feel I must use these genres in my nonfiction classes.kate hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761820572827505993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214489875213933536.post-12608250499602898152007-02-17T08:20:00.000-06:002007-02-17T08:20:00.000-06:00I know what you mean about describing those you kn...I know what you mean about describing those you know well - I think it's hard also because we are least likely to want to make caricatures out of the people we are closest to - for me, that's an issue in nonfiction that blocks me, makes me stumble. But of course then when I start to feel close to my fiction characters the same thing happens. Anyway, glad to hear you're crossing genres in the class - it seems essential.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
