What impression is given of Gareth Bale in this report? Story:

Gareth Bale today hit back at accusations that he dives by claiming he is just trying to protect himself from serious injury.

The Tottenham winger has been criticised this

season for “going to ground” too easily and

Stevenage manager Gary Smith was unhappy that

Bale was granted a penalty when challenged by

Mark Roberts last night.

‘I tend not to dive’, insists Bale

Doubts were also expressed about the

spot-kick awarded to Bale during the north London

derby last month, yet the Welshman insists he has

no option but to take evasive action from aggressive,

dirty tackles: “I try not to get in the way of tackles and if people want to say I’m diving then

they can but I’m trying to get out of the way and save myself, save my career if you like”,

he said. “You’ve got people flying in at you.

“If you stand there, you’re going to get a whack. Sometimes it looks like you’re diving but if

someone’s coming across you, you try to get out of the way. You can see why people say

you’re diving but I’d rather dive – meaning get out of the way - than get hurt. I tend not to

dive”.

Harry Redknapp has blasted claims that Gareth Bale is a diver – saying:

He just gets kicked all the time!

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp defended his player recently saying, “I don’t think he

dives”, but also suggested that Bale would need to accept that rough treatment will

increase as his reputation grows. Redknapp used the examples of Lionel Messi and

Cristiano Renaldo, probably the two most tightly-marked players in the game, to show Bale

what he can expect as his career develops.

He believes Bale should regard it as a compliment if teams seek to stop him by illegal

means and the 22-year old admitted he takes a degree of confidence from the way he is marking.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
