English

Answer:

In his narrative essay “Home Debut,” Nick Hornby provides a humorous account of how he became a football (soccer) fan and fell in love with Arsenal, a team notorious for consistently losing. He begins by describing his childhood in a suburb of England along with how he was affected by his parents’ separation. Desperate for some way to bond with his son, Hornby’s father takes him to a football match, hoping that his son will share his love of the sport. The outing was a success, and Hornby and his father could finally relate to each other thanks to football.

Hornby credits the first match that he went to, which ended with Arsenal winning 1-0 on a penalty rebound goal, for starting his lifelong obsession with football. He recalls the outrage and disappointment of the fans in the stands at any number of other matches he attended, and he wonders why football fans continue to support teams that lose consistently. The angst of the fans existed regardless of their team’s score. He concludes that football shaped his life by introducing him to the idea of “entertainment as pain” and that becoming a football fanatic was inevitable.

Yep, it is

In my life I have experienced a loss that has
timurjin [86]

Answer:  In my life I've experienced a loss that has  

 been traumatic for me which can also be for most  

people. One night, in November I was having a  

movie night with my four kids and husband when

around eight o'clock I suddenly got a phone call that  

changed my life forever. On the other line was a  

family member of my brother's girlfriend. I could hear the tone of sadness in her voice as she explained to me that both my brother and his girlfriend had died in a car accident.

I was so in disbelief that I hung up the  

phone and I called my brother over and over  

and over again. He didn't pick up which was surreal because he always answered when I called him. At that moment I thought to myself that maybe he really was gone. After the incident  it took me years to  

overcome the pain that I felt in my heart.

The memories of our childhood and the things that happened to us growing up only reminded me of the pain.

We had our good times and bad times but one thing I knew was that we would always have each other.

His loss felt so heartbreaking that it affected me physically and mentally. I stayed in bed for  

  weeks and those weeks turned into months. It made me think that this pain would never end, but deep down inside I knew that I needed to learn how to deal with the pain rather than trying to get rid of it.

My brother, someone that I truly loved and grew up with was a part of my life that I didn't want to lose.

He was my sunshine  and was always there for me. He was the light that made my darkness disappear.

Ever since the our grandmother Irene, which was the person who raised us passed away, it always Felt like we only had each other because of the fact that both our parents were in prison and were never truly involved in our lives.

So it felt like it was my job to pay for all  

the awake cost and prepare everything  

which was getting my brother  

cremated. It was hard but with the help of  

my husband I knew that I would get it done the  

way my brother would have wanted it to be.

 My brother would have approved of how it    

all looked. He was always someone I could talk  

 to. He was a backbone for me and was also my  

 husband's best friend. They grew up together  

 they loved each other. I was so depressed  

 when I lost him. He had a way about him that  

 could really light up the midnight sky.

 I was depressed and crying all the time. I knew  

 if my brother could be here he would tell me  to

 stop being crying and to carry on with my life.  

  My Nieces, nephews, and children knew that if  

  he was still he'd tell me to not cry for him that he's in a better place now. It was so hard but I ended  

 up little-by-little getting out of bed, going to the  

 meetings and trying my best to not think about  

 the pain I felt in my heart on a constant basis.  

 But the one way that I overcame the pain was  

by going to the meeting of Jehovah's witnesses,  

studying the Bible, and learning what the  

scriptures had to say about death.

I knew that one day I would see him again; I  

 knew in my heart that one day I would give him  

a hug and tell him how much I missed him.  

Until then I had to live with the pain of missing

him, but learning to rely on my husband,

family, and friends taught me that I could deal  

with pain in a way I thought I could never deal  

with so I can thank them for being a listening  

ear and for being a shoulder to cry on.

They never once turned a their backs on me.  

They always stayed there listening to me  

whether it was good day or bad day; They listened  

to the pain that I was feeling and gave me

hugs and talked to me or even just stood there  

by my side and listened which I really truly  

appreciated. Now I can say that I feel so much  

better and I don't feel so sad anymore but for  

anyone who does lose a brother or a loved one that

i'm truly sorry and I pray to my god for them so  

they can continue to live life in a good healthy

way.

Explanation: I rewrote a couple of sentences so that i'd make better sense. Hope this helps you.
