The French to me are being mocked the most. Cause they say the most ridiculous things that make no sense. They are obsessed with animals and will use them as ammunition. When King Arthur and his group made a huge bunny to hold people inside and when the french see’s the rabbit, they will be inside the rabbit in the castle. Well that didn’t work.…
The four historical athletes I would put on my Mount Rushmore are Curt Flood, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and . Curt Flood was a previous Major League Baseball (MLB) player who confronted the reserve clause issue. He made the Curt Flood Act as a way to ensure ball players received a livable wage. Society became outraged at the idea of major league players making more money when they already made so much. Curt Flood wanted to be a free agent to be able to stand up for the players, free of charge.…
The Shi'a Muslims are the Hazaras, the lower class, the hirelings. Ali and Hassan are Shi'a Muslims. Ali experiences loss of motion of his lower facial muscles, and polio left him with a bent right leg. At the point when the storyteller was eight years of age, Ali found him ridiculing him, yet Ali never said anything in regards to it. The Pashtuns, the general population of the storyteller and his dad, had mistreated and persecuted the Hazaras.…
Throughout When We Were Kings there is a constant duality between Muhammad Ali’s well favored embracement of African culture and George Foreman’s disgraceful contentment with staying an outsider. The film highlights the importance of African-Americans accepting and learning their African roots by showing us the good and bad of the famous “Rumble in the Jungle”. The film proves that an underdog such as Ali can win against a man larger and stronger by enforcing a home court advantage. We cheer for Ali because he is a “real person” and seeks a connection with the natives of Zaire unlike Foreman. Ali illustrates that embracing your “people” and heritage is winning and can overcome bad odds (Gast,…
Muhammad Ali in 1967 stood up for what he believed in when he refused to be a part of the United States Army, even though it was against the law. Roger Goodell has recently been criticized for what he thinks is the right amount of time to suspend an NFL player for their wrong doings. When Ali and Goodell made these decision’s, they tested people’s ideas, shaped their knowledge and they attempted to build a community through their actions. Ali had no fear when it came to standing up for what he believed in. He took criticism left and right and did not care what people thought of him.…

“Champion of the World” by Maya Angelou,this excerpt chronicles how a boxer named Joe Louis captivated the world by being one of the first black boxer to be heavyweight champion of the world. In the late 1930 when segregation and inequality for African Americans was so prominent, something like that captivated the world and boosted the spirits of African Americans who were being depressed and were treated horribly by whites. This story lets you see inside a store of African Americans who are listening to the radio of the championship between Joe and a white challenger. During this fight Angelou connects the fight to the pride of all African Americans and how every African American shared the same pride in him and were counting on him to solidify to the white people that they are strong and are not sub- humans. She uses paragraph 16 and 17 to get the point across to readers that it was a huge deal for African Americans that he won because they felt they would end up staying at second class citizens and go back to being slaves if he lost which at the time could have been completely probable.…
When Rahim Khan finally tells Amir the truth about Hassan and Baba a question arises about whether Ali knew that Baba was Hassan's father, although it's not directly said in the novel I think that Ali knew because he saw how much Baba cared about Hassan during all those years and also Ali kind of knew that he wasn't able to have any children because his first wife left him because they couldn't have any children, but later on she was able to have children with another man, which clearly showed Ali that something was wrong with him and there was no way he could have any children, and I think the reason he didn't confront Baba was that he was too loyal to him and also maybe because he knew that he could never have any children; therefore, rather…
After watching the movie Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight, many of the events/situation that occurred between the Supreme Court Justices and law clerks surprised me. First, I was fascinated by Justice Harlan’s law clerk, Kevin Connolly’s tenacity and idealistic attitude during the process of rejecting and accepting the case, Clay v. the United States. For instance, Connolly’s bravery was demonstrated when he tried to dismiss his responsibility to write the brief directed by Justice Harlan due to his political ideology.…
With his defiance, he was refusing to participate in America’s plan for a nation far away from home, especially when that plan called for murdering the enemy and violated his faith. Ali couldn’t accept betraying his faith for America while in a foreign land, only to return home to a culture of racial bias and discrimination by the country he just served. 6 Civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.'s came to Ali’s defense. " He is giving up millions of dollars to do what his conscience tells him is right," King said. 7 The possibility of being killed or maimed in a war zone for a country that was hostile to black Americans was not worth the price of betraying his faith.…
I can hear my daughter, Ali’s, laughter from the bathroom. Her mom is giving her a bath before bedtime while I grab a bite to eat before I go to work.

Unfortunately, our daughter is a master at breaking that routine and will do anything to do so.…
