The Peachtree Road Race: A Race Like No Other David Matherne 1 A common golfer cannot play in the Masters or British Open with t

he world’s best-known golfers, nor can the average tennis player play against the world’s best at Wimbledon. No teenager just learning to drive can bank the turns with professional drivers at the Daytona 500. However, in the sport of road racing, common people and novice joggers can lace up and be in the same race as the world-class runners competing to win it all. The Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, GA is the world’s largest 10K, boasting 55,000 runners who line up for blocks at 7:30am to run down Atlanta’s most famous street. Only a handful, however, really have a legitimate chance to win the prestigious crystal peach and the $15,000 first place prize that comes with it. The Peachtree Road Race is unique as a road race in three distinctive ways: it is run on the 4th of July, it has a rich tradition, and it is the most competitive 10K in the world. 2 One thing that makes the Peachtree Road Race special is that it takes place each year on Independence Day. (1) American flags are waved down Peachtree Street, and nearly everywhere red, white, and blue is seen. Many runners choose to wear stars-and-stripes as a part of their racing outfit, but no one is allowed to wear costumes in this serious race. That means no Statues of Liberty are officially allowed running down the road, as with other%

B)

C)

Write an explanation of how Shakespeare crafts Act I, scene i for dramatic impact. What particular elements contribute to this i
pishuonlain [190]

According to a different source, this question refers to the play <em>Hamlet</em> by William Shakespeare.

There are several methods that the author employs in order to create a dramatic first scene. In Act I, scene 1, Shakespeare begins the play right at the beginning of an exciting moment. The first line asks "Who's there?" and invites the reader to pay close attention immediately.

Moreover, the first scene deals with the appearance of a ghost. Not only does this introduce a mystery (who is the ghost? why is he here?) that encourages the reader to continue reading. It also creates a scary and eerie mood that draws the reader in.
