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.

these pictures can relate to muhammad ali because he love boxing and never quit boxing. He was commited to it.

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

3rd independent reading book.

The current book that I am reading right now is "The greatest Muhammad Ali". So far i only read a couple of pages of the book and it is already pretty good. This book is about Muhammad Ali becoming one of the mosts greatest fighters in boxing. Muhammad Ali even got a Olymipic gold medalist, and became world heavy weight champion. Hopefully i get to read the whole book and i really hope that there is a lot of action and fighting in the book.

2nd Independent reading book

I finally finished my second independent reading book called "From the back of the Bus". I really admired the main character Dick Gregory because he explains the difference of black people and white people. He also shows picture of himself that how black people would get treated and / or how they would dress in a certain way. This book is very intresting and I think other people should read this. This book also has comedy and thats why I read this book. I really recommend this book to other people.

from back of the bus

The book i am reading is called "From back of the Bus" This book is my second independent reading book. This book is about a man name" Dick Gregory" trying to compare black people with white people. He talks about his life and his experiences. He said that he would make 10 dollars a night and now he is making 5,000 dollars a week just for speaking out what he had to say. So far in the book that i am reading, it is very good and intresting.

change over time

The book i am reading for my independent reading book is called "From the back of the bus". The main character name is Dick Gregory. He devolops over time because since his skin color is dark they treat him wrong and when the laws become more fair for black people he becomes more confident in himself..
