this can relate to muhammad ali because manny pacquiao is a really fast and good fight like Muhammad Ali.

questions

A) Does the author seem to be saying about ambition..courage...greed...jealousy...happiness...friendship...love?
I think in the book there is hate and friendship.

E) Does the main character have a confidant, someone he or she relies on and how important or reliable is this person?
Muhammmad relies mainly on his coach, Joe Martin because he is the one that trains him to become a great fighter.

G) How does the climax change in the story?

I think the climax in the story changes by Muhammad loses his fight and not going to fight in vietnam.

I) Do you relate to your main character? How and why?

I do relate to the main character because i do boxing myself and when i mad i use it when i do boxing because i am hitting the bag hard.

J) What are the most revealing aspects of one of the characters(consider thoughts, words, actions, descriptions, etc?)
The most revealing aspects of the character is words and action because his quotes are amazing, for example, "Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" His actions are amazing because of what he does and how he acts.

The greatest Muhammad Ali

"Cassius(Muhammad) bike was stolen and told a policeman in the basement. Cassius found the officer, Joe martin, and told him what had happened. He also added that when he found whoever had stolen his bike, he was going to beat him up."

Muhammad Ali is already showing that he wants to fight and joe martin wants him to train him before he fights. Joe Martin already knew he was going to be a great fighter.

letter to main character

Dear Muhammad Ali,
                                 I found some interesting things about you. I noticed that you dropped out of high school when you were only in your sophomore year. Why did you drop out if high school so early? Also, you were really passionate about boxing. You were the only kid that would practice for boxing. Why is boxing really important to you? Did you really wanted to become a professional boxer in your life? Its really interesting that you became one of the best black boxers in world. Its really amazing how you came so far, even though you dropped out of high school.


                                                                                                                    Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                    Julian Vanegas
