Movie Trailer Story

The first 30 seconds of the movie trailer for Forrest Gump has a distinct story that allows the viewer to see where the movie is heading. The opening scene of a man sitting on a bench begins the idea that he is about to tell his life story. The scene then jumps to a boy laying in bed and it introduces his mother to the movie. As the story progresses he is shown to not be very smart in his education but then meets a young girl on a bus who seems to play a major role in the film. The are shown doing everything together. The scenes keep on jumping back and forth between the man sitting on the bench and him telling scenes from his life. As the 30 seconds end, the man is being chased down a road, showing that he is very fast but also that he has been bullied.

This article focuses on how Congress can get involved in the MLB steroid testing policy. The journal consists of an argument that thinks the MLB would be a lot better off with the help of Congress. Steroids have become too much and testing needs to get better as the game goes on.

This article deals with the hitters in baseball and the effect they have when they are on performance enhancing drugs versus the players who are not on the drugs. The article discusses how the drugs ruin the game and helps rehabilitate players faster as well as put them on a healthy diet.

Research Argument

The NFL and the MLB both have a history of steroid usage in the game and numerous scandals that arise once a notable player has been found guilty of performance-enhancing drugs. The two sports are very different in nature and both have committees creating new ways to test for drugs. In the history of the sport, there have been more cases of steroid usage in baseball than in the NFL. I think this is because of better testing in the NFL and how the sport is not about the numbers and a player’s individual performance.  The NFL has a larger list of know steroids that they outlaw in their league. The procedure for testing is very strict and has caught more and more people every year. The argument consists of how the NFL has bigger, better, faster, and stronger players every year, but isn’t getting accused of steroid usage as much as the baseball players. I would argue that it is way more noticeable to be caught using performance-enhancing drugs because it is more obvious when one player stands out as opposed to football when the players are more focused on team strength than individual.  I would say that the NFL players aren’t getting convicted for steroid use because I don’t think they are actually using the drugs. The testing is too strict and the NFL is more serious about the bigger players because the sport is more dangerous. Baseball players need to play their best at their own individual effort to help their teams win. It is more important to be stronger and to hit the ball farther. I would argue in this research paper that the NFL has fewer cases in steroid usage because they are better at testing and the MLB really doesn’t have that strict of punishment for the usage.

Research Topic Ideas

Steroids in the world of sports- talk about cases of people in the NFL and MLB accused of the use of steroids and how it affects the sporting world. I could also discuss how these two sports would be different without steroids.


Facebook- how the social network affects our lives in a positive and negative way and how our lives could potentially be different today if we did not have it.


Global Warming/Climate change- is it happening? how would it change our lives and what should we do to stop it. is there anything in particular that is causing it?
