ReplyDelete1. I think the biggest chang Muhammid made for himself and others was going to jail instead of going to the war. He didn't believe in what they were fighting for so he didn't fight.
2.One connection I can make between myself and the book is that i wish i had somthing like he dose to be that deddicated to and to work that hard at that really insipires me.
3. would you have rather gone to jail or faught in the war?
1) I believe that Muhammad Ali changing his religion was the biggest change he made. It impacted himself as well as others.
ReplyDelete2) One connection I can make to the book is that Muhammad has the ablility to fight for what he believes and what he does well. I try to do that everyday!
3) Christine--I would have deffinatly fought in the war because it is my country and I have faith in it! I would also be honored to fight for such a wonderful country.
If you changed your religion, would you tell people, or just keep it to yourself and family?Tanner W.
1.I think the biggest change Muhhamad Ali made during his life was his name because it made the American people think that during a time of war one of their American heroes was abandoning them for the Nation of Islam.
ReplyDelete2.I can relate to Muhammad Ali in his work ethic in sports, because while i'm not always the best at what I do I try as hard as I can to be the best I can be.
3.Do you think that throughout his career Muhammad Ali was too cocky and should have been punished for comments he made regarding his opponents?
Would you have rather gone to jail or fought in war?
If i were in Muhammad Ali's position I would have gone to the war because even though it was against my religion I wouldn't actually be fighting and killing other people, just fighting for the soldiers amusement.

I believe that Muhammad made a change by not going to the war. He showed people that you dont have to fight for what you dont believe in.
ReplyDelete1) I think the biggest change for Muhammid Ali would be his religon change. It effected not only himself, but others around him.
ReplyDelete2) a connection i can make from this book would be is that he stood up for what he believed in and proved to everyone that he didn't change himself, he was still a great boxer. It was just his religon that changed.
3)how would you have acted if you were Muhammid Ali and had lost your first fight to Joe Frazier?
4) Tanner- yeah I would tell people. If it was something i believed in, then i wouldn't care what anyone says about it.

I think that the biggest changed Muhammad Ali made was changing his religion. This change impacted himself and others. One connection that I made from the book to myself was that Muhammad Ali believed in himself, and thought that if he put his mind to something, he could do it. I believe that too.
ReplyDeleteMy question is would you ever consider having a career in boxing?
Tanner- If I changed my religion, I would probably tell people because if I believe in something, I would want to be open about it and let people know that I am commited to my beliefs.
The connection i would have with this book. Is i play very hard and i don't give up. Another connection i have with this book is that i like to box. An I Do not fight for things i dont believe in.
ReplyDeleteMy question is if Muhammad WAs not introduced to boxing what do you think he would of been introduces to?
1)i think ali made the biggest change n the book becuase he changed how other people look at boxing and he made it hard for other people to say they were better then him.
ReplyDelete2)i no how ali feels when someone stole his bike because someone had stoled my bike.and i always wanted to no who did it and i wanted to beat them up bad because it was a nice bike and it was one of the best bikes i had.
3)do u think ali should still be called the greatest?
RUSSELL- i think he would have been introduced to being a punk andhe would have let people take controll of him.

I think the biggets change that Muhammed Ali made in his life was becoming Muslim and over coming the racest comments that everyone was saying about him. I think a connection that i made with the main character i stand up for what i belive in. Tanner-if i changed my religon i think i would tell people about it because if they did something that i made may find offencive because of my religon i cant get mad because they didnt know lol :)
ReplyDelete1)The biggest chang was his religion.A lot of his fans didlike that he become muslem.
ReplyDelete2)The thing that i am like is i do not like it when peopel that i do not kmow tell me what to do.
3)The way did he stop fighting why dident he keep fighting.
Jake-I would get vary angery. the next day i would want remach.
I think that muhammid change the world by standing up to the people who try to send him togo to war but he didn't want to go so he instead went to jail.
ReplyDelete1. I think the bigger challge clay has to face was standing up for what he belives in. Like when he changed his name for his religion and others didn't like it. He wasn't afraid and he espcially didn't change his name back. With that others respect him and he changed how people think when he didn't go to war. 2.Like Muhammad Ali I know how to stick to my opions and not let anyone else change my mind and not let anyone else tell me other wise. Question : How did all this fame end up changing his families life? I do think that Ali should always be named the greatest for everything he did and went through to get to the top
ReplyDeleteMuhammad was a boxer who never gave up even in those thouht time when he was out boxing.by that time it was hard just to have to go sometimes to some kind of place and box to get money I'm sure that you could go to th so what I say is thd so go and do thing he did go to the olympics and got a gold metal

1.I think the biggest change Muhammad Ali had was when he changed his name during his life and American people thought he was betrading them for the Nation of Islam.
ReplyDelete2.My connection with Muhammad Ali was when his bike got stolen because my bike got stolen and i wanted to find out who did it.
What do you think Muhammad Ali would do if he did not box?
1. I think that the biggest change that Muhammad Ali made was changing his religion to Muslim. This greatly impacted him. One way that it impacted him was that he changed his name. He was also impacted in boxing because of this change. Many sportswriters wrote nasty things about him and he lost many fans.
ReplyDelete2. One connection that I can make to Muhammad Ali is that I try to work hard at what I do. He has always worked really hard throughout his entire life at boxing and at many other things. I think that everyone should try to do there best at whatever they're doing whether they are playing a sport or just doing school work.
3a Do you think that Cassius Clay Jr. would have have been a boxer or ever become Muhammad Ali if his bike hadn't been stolen?
3b Tavares question was What do you think Muhammad Ali would do if he did not box?
My answer is: I think that if Muhammad Ali didn't box that he would have become more envolved in the Nation of Islam and would have become more of a Civil Rights activist.
