A Response To Ali's Letter To The Narrator

Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. later known as Muhammad Ali, was a black boxer, and was proud of it. Many African Americans were ashamed of their color, but Ali was different. He was the first boxer to win the Heavyweight Championship 3 different times. He had a great personality and was liked by the people. During his life, he made big decisions that changed the course of his life completely. Muhammad Ali's journey through life was a great inspiration for African American people, but Ali himself deserves the admiration of everyone.

The Pakistani experienced left Ali feeling a little frustrated about the entire experience and the lack of acknowledgement of his culture so he takes a wholehearted effort into reclaiming his identity. During this period he again changed his name to Amir ul Islam or Prince of Islam and began exploring any and every ideology that contradicted the Islamic religion; however, he still was not ready to let go of the Islamic culture and wanted to remain close to it. The calling on his life draws heavy on his, which makes him stay involved with Islamic activities at the University and eventually make him the President of the Muslin Student Association. This quest for anything contradicting the Islamic culture and his childhood obligations to the culture drove his actions throughout the remaining college years and still left him dissatisfied. He came to realize that this quest only lead to his developing a status amongst his fellow Muslim brothers but did nothing to increase his faith.

Eleanor Roosevelt once quoted “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Most people look at those kinds of quotes and similar to me, laugh at it because we realize that following your dream will lead you to a high percentage of failure in life. Famous people and programs such as Disney channel, tell us to follow our dreams and never quit. Most of the time, we refuse to listen by switching the channel or just turning off the TV. Although, Muhammad Ali was different. He challenged himself. He didn’t switch the channel or refused to hear it. Instead, he didn’t give up his dream that later on rewarded him with becoming the best boxer in the world. Unlike us, he had huge objects blocking his path in the time he

Muhammad Ali once said “I am the greatest” and he has the evidence to prove it. Muhammad Ali was determined to fight and beat up who ever stole his bike. When Muhammad Ali was little somebody stole his bike so he wanted to become a boxer to beat up whoever took the bike. Then he trained every day and eventually he got so good at it he joined in his first competition and won. Then went on to face some of the best at the time like sonny Liston, Malcom X and joe Frazier.

He likes to read book about poetry and write alone in his room, he won’t fight when he’s being bullied or even just stand up for himself. Baba is the type of man who likes to take control of things and make sure they are going the way to his liking. As Baba starts to realize this qualities about Amir he takes matters into his own hands and tries to change his son into someone he’s not.

Muhammad Ali was born on January 17, 1942 In Louisville. One day Ali’s bike had been stolen. Someone had suggested that he should report it to a nearby police. Ali reported it to a traffic cop named, Joe Martin. Joe ran a boxing gym in the basement of the convention hall. He took Ali to the basement. Right when Ali got there he was in awe of all that the boxers were doing. The sights and sounds and smell of the boxing gym excited him so much that he almost forgot about his bike. Right then at that moment was when Muhammad Ali discovered boxing.

It was a very hot day as I walked the streets of Afghanistan. Being of Hazara ethnics, everyday was a struggle. I was on my way back home from the market when suddenly people were shouting profanities towards me. Normally, it would not bother me as much because it happens all the time being a Hazara along with having a disability such as mine.

Since childhood, both children were together. Amir's father Baba displays signs of affection towards Hassan despite Hassan being Amir's servant. Amir gets quite envious because of these acts and developes hatred towards Hassan. One day, there was a kite fighting tournament to which Amir won. Hassan offered to run and get the kite for him and that was when he was ambushed by Assef, a sociopath who hails Hitler. Assef commits an extremely abhorrent and disturbing act towards Hassan and Amir sees this. Amir takes no action into saving Hassan. The guilt that came with not telling anyone about the disgusting things that he saw obstructed his mind and caused him to be scarred with these memories for

Clay, named after his father and Kentucky abolitionist Cassius M. Clay, was born in Louisville, Kentucky. At age 12, he had his bicycle stolen, and reported the fact to a local policeman (and boxing trainer), Joe Martin. Martin suggested that Clay learn to fight; under his guidance, Clay rapidly advanced through the youth ranks. A low achiever academically, Clay won six Kentucky Gold Gloves while at high school and was allowed to graduate despite his poor grades. Presciently, his principal announced during a staff meeting about the issue that Clay would someday be "this school's claim to fame." Clay later joked about his lackluster academic record saying, "I said I was the Greatest, not the smartest."

As he grew up into a young man, he learned that his goal is going to be towards education. His goal in high school is to go to school for free. That means, he needs to win a scholarship. His family at the time was struggling. Ali adds that if he did not get a scholarship, that means he is not ever going to get a higher education at

Bruce nuzzles Ali’s neck. “I do, but you have to keep this a secret. I know that I am asking a lot of you, but I promise to make it worth your while.” Bruce kisses Ali on the lips again. “So now that you know that your boyfriend is Batman does that mean you’ll go easier on him?”

A blur of images followed: a woman named Aisha, a man with the mustache, someone he recognizes. Slipping in and out of consciousness, he imagines Baba wrestling the bear. Amir meets Baba’s eyes and realizes he is the one wrestling the bear. He wakes up and discovers he is in the hospital in Peshawar. The people he saw are doctors, and Farid was the man he recognized. Amir’s mouth is wired shut. His upper lit is split, the bone of his left eye socket broken, several of his ribs cracked, and his spleen ruptured. Farid and Sohrab are there, and Amir thanks them both. Farid tells Amir that Rahim Khan has gone, but he left a note.

Alis broke the kiss and sat back on her heels with a soft smile on her face. “When shall we wed?”

Sharif Hussein Ibn Ali, the Amir of Mecca and Medina and the British commissioner Sir Henry Mc Mahon exchanged series of letter known as the Hussein-Mac Mahon correspondence.

Ali shows exceptional character development throughout the film because of his actual development as both a human being as well as a professional boxer. In the beginning of the film, he is still under the name Cassius Clay prior to his debut in the championship ring. He wins his debut as becomes a heavyweight champion. This championship beings Clay’s development as a character. Soon after his championship, Clay meets with an Islamic leader. At this meeting, he gave Clay the name Muhammad Ali. Clay
