Muhammad Ali's Influences
Influential people say things that make you think and to influence you to do better. Muhammad Ali inspired me to do better by saying, “I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was.” Clearly, he was trying to tell you not to get in the mindset of saying I am the worst, I can’t do this, or I'm going to fail. Inky Johnson inspired me to do better every day by saying, “The only person you try to do better than is the person you were yesterday.” Obviously, Ink Johnson is trying to tell you to do better no matter what even if you were amazing the day before. Carrie Fisher inspires me to try to do some funny or embarrassing things by saying,”If my life wasn’t funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.” Apparently, Carrie Fisher

    Muhammad Ali's Anti-Slavery Movement

    After Muhammad Ali claimed that he was not going to be inducted into the United States Army because he “...ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong”, he was convicted of draft evasion, fined $10,000 and sentenced to five years in prison. Muhammad Ali gained his fighting licence back in 1970 and in 1971 and the conviction was appealed. His actions and bravery gave people courage to fight for what they believed in, which lead to people questioning the drafting process and helped start the anti-slavery movement. Muhammad Ali took a stand against the Supreme Court and showed them that all religious beliefs should be respected and considered before conviction.…

    How Did Muhammad Ali Contribute To Civil Right

    “Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.” Muhammad Ali is somebody that we think of for his great boxing but he was truly so much more. The period of American civil rights in our country was a very dark and frightening time. What white people did to people who were of a different race is so depressing, and actually shocking on how somebody could be that cruel. Luckily in that time there were a few people who stood of for their rights, and their rights other. Because of them, today we have our freedom, and are not tormented for just drinking out of a water fountain, or going into a bathroom that wasn’t meant for our skin color.…

    Peopl Problems

    For example, during the 1960’s Rosa Parks saw that discrimination was growing out of control, so to stop this problem she unknowingly began the bus boycott by not giving up her seat to a white man. By speaking up Rosa helped put an end to something that could have become so much worse. No matter how bad things may seem they will get worse if no one speaks up and they won’t quit until someone does. We can tell you from experience, if you are having trouble with something or there’s something happening that shouldn’t you have to say something. You can’t wait for someone else to because they might not see it as a problem and it will just continue to go…

    Influence Of Tupac

    The language in our popular music has the ability to shape one's reality. For instance rap artists in their first couple albums that are released their lyrics tell the story of their lives and how hard it was for them before the fame and glory they live today. I think some people can thrive on that and in turn will motivate them to do something for the greater good because they can relate to the experiences and the hard times rap artists have gone through. A good example of this is Tupac Shakur in his song titled "Changes." He uses the same beat of the original song written by Phil Collins in 1989, "That's just the way it is." I like Tupac's remix better because it is more up beat and relates to my generation. I believe that Tupac set a new…

    12 Angry Men: How One Man Can Influence Rest of The Group

    The statement has had a little influence on my life so far. I have not really witnessed this trait in real life. Even though I strongly believe in the fact that one person can make a difference, I don’t see it a lot. That’s why it hasn’t had a great impact on me. I also believe that there are only a few people in this world that have acquired this special quality. You have to be a great person to not give in into the pressure of numbers and firmly stand in what you believe in. This feature still helps me out in life when I face this challenge too. I think in my mind that to not give into other people’s opinions and to not give up on my idea. This sometimes makes me land on top and become the victor of the argument and sometimes it makes me look like a fool because of what I said. Either way…

    Personal Narrative Essay On Princess Leia

    “We all have doubts about ourselves, sometimes. It’s part of what makes us examine ourselves and all that we do. And without that we become nothing short of monsters.” Princess Leia from the star wars franchise has been a very inspirational role model for me from a young age. Sure it might sound a little nerdy but it has great meaning to me. In my life when I was 11 years old my parents got in a divorce so finishing up 4th grade I moved to a completely different school in Kimberly, Idaho. We spent two years at that school and I found out that I really enjoyed art and then we moved to rigby to live with my uncle for the summer. Luckily we moved back so I got a little more time with those friends and their art program, but in the middle of that year my great grandma was dying so we moved again to my grandparent’s house to help them with my great grandma. It was very hard to move to a new school in the middle of the year so I didn’t make any friends for a while. Eventually I did make…
