Canelo vs. Golovkin!

Who will win on September 16 of 2017? Will it be Gennady Golovkin or Canelo Alvarez? Who knows, but the fight has been scheduled to be on September 16 of this year. After the Canelo vs Chavez Jr. fight, when Canelo won by unanimous decision, right after Chavez left the ring, Triple G entered the ring and stood face to face to Canelo. These two great fighters have shown their skills and how they rule the place, but no one can really say who is really the best professional boxer right now until one comes winner of this fight. Canelo has showed that he can fight the best without having fear and is confident that it is his era. But Triple G is a strong fighter with many K.O.'s. I don't know who will win but I do go for Canelo. Canelo has the speed in his shot but GGG has the power in his shot. This will be the well waited boxing match ever since Mayweather and Pacquiao. Who knows who will win since they are both great. Some say GGG will win others say Canelo will win, but I for sure will go for Canelo and hope he wins. He has inspired me so much ever since I was 8 and my dad got me into boxing since he also loves boxing. I have always went for Canelo in every match he has fought in and will continue to go for him. He is also one of my favorite boxers of all time. Like it or not, he is the best Mexican boxer currently and will defeat GGG in September! He has demonstrated that he can win any match and is not scared of nobody.

Powerful & Powerless

I feel most powerful when my parents are happy when I get good grades and don't disappoint them as I grow up and become more and more successful as school years are passing. I feel powerful because my parents mean so much to me in this world, and knowing that they are happy for me because I'm doing good at school, makes me feel powerful. It also makes me feel powerful, because every year that I do good at school and get good grades, my parent's know I love going to Mexico in the summer, let me go and I have so much fun over there, feeling free and joyful. It makes me feel powerful because I know I gained this, that I earned this through hard work and effort in school. I feel most powerless when my parent's are disappointed at me for something I know I did wrong and made them upset at me for my errors and mistakes in life. When I get detentions in school, or get written up, my parents get upset. I feel like I make them feel embarrassed for what I do wrong because I know I have failed them because nothing makes me feel much better than seeing my parents proud of me not disappointed. But when I feel powerless, I still feel like I'm powerful in some way because I acknowledge that I've done wrong and learn from my mistakes to not do it again.

Stereotypes of Racism

The worst stereotype that is affecting our world is how we see different people just because of their race. Many see all African Americans as bad people, that they are gangster, criminals, and thugs. Also, many see Mexicans as immigrants, rapist, and criminals, and that they come to this country to destroy it. But that's not the case, it's like saying, "Well he's black, so he is gangster" or "He's Mexican, so he is a criminal" or "He's muslim, so he is a terrorized." It doesn't depend on their race, every human has their own decisions that they want to take in life. I mean not all white people are racist, not all Mexicans come here to cause crime, and not all African Americans are gangsters. This is so bad because this is all caused by society that makes us be fooled and we shouldn't have labels under us. This is how society functions now, we make up stereotypes and lead to racism, violence, and hate.

The Greatest Muhammad Ali

The book, The Greatest Muhammad Ali, by Walter Dean Myers, is basically about Muhammad Ali and the obstacles he had to go through in order to get passed them and be what he wanted, to be a professional boxer,. He also wanted to be the greatest of all time in boxing history. As a child, his family and him were living in a bad neighborhood, where they could barely make a living. He wanted to get out of poverty and be someone in life someday. He one day, then started to try out boxing. Despite the fact, that he had to go through racism and hate due to that he was African American. It wouldn't be easy for him, having to be discriminated on and off the boxing ring or in his career. But after having a success in trying to become a boxer and ignoring the hate, he never gave up on what he loved to do. He had his head way up high and knew what he wanted to do in life. During his boxing career, he never gave up, kept fighting, and wasn't scared of anyone. He later then got awarded and received the golden glove. This is how much he loved the sport and kept going. Doing everything possible to be the greatest. He just had the passion, love, and courage for this sport. Besides having a great boxing career, he also inspired manu other African Americans to fight for equality and stop racism. He wasn't just the greatest boxer of all tims, he was an inspiring and motivational person in life that thought about others, not just himself.


I picked this book out due to that Muhammad Ali also inspired me to keep on going even though something is in your way. If you want to achieve something, you have to fight for it. If it means to do the impossible, than do the impossible. There are no limits, only you are the person that will stop yourself from what you want to be or do in life. If you want to be someone in life, you won't stop until you get what you want. This is why one of my favorite sports is boxing, because Ali motivated me to never give up and put forth the effort in what I love doing.

Twisted - Laurie Halse Anderson

The book, Twisted, by Laurie Halse Anderson, is about high school senior named Tyler Miller that for years, has liked a girl in his school named Benthany Milbury, which she is the daughter of the boss where Tyler's Dad works. Tyler never really got any attetion from any girls and was like a "nerd" and not popular in high school. Since Bethany is really gorgeous to everyone in the school, Tyler thinks he'll never get the chance to go out with Bethany. But, then senior year came around, and Tyler has decided to do something remarkable, where nobody will underestimate him ever again. So, one night, he does graffiti on one of the school's walls, but what he doesn't know is that there is a camera outside the building. Soon after he gets caught and has through probation and work to help out his damages to the school. While senior year still goes on through the book, Tyler is becoming more popular and everybody knows him. Even Bethany starts getting close to him and later, she catches feeling for Tyler too. She invites Tyler to a few football games, but then Halloween came around, and she invites Tyler to a Halloween party. Things look like they will get better and they will soon be together. But in the halloween party, where they go into a room, and kiss, not much intense things. But Tyler helds her back because she's drunk and thinks it's wrong to do that to her. So, after the party, Tyler gives Bethany, Parker, which is a junior, and Chip, Bethany's brother, that is quite mean to Tyler. Only when Tyler sees Parker and Bethany kissing, of course he gets mad and drops them off and believes the things between them they already have started, will to down. The next day, on the internet, there are naked pictures of Bethany that people think that Tyler did this. So, police investigate and after awhile, they found Tyler's innocence and his family is happy. After all this, his family and him want to forget about everything that has happened and move on, trying to shape up their lives.

I feel like this book, didn't really have a theme, but I thought about it and figured that it was trying to tell me, because of all the problems that happened to Tyler, is that anyone can have a lot of problems in life and you will always be underestimated. But doesn't mean you should give up on you and fail. Instead you should learn from your mistakes and forget about what happened in the past, if you wver did something wrong and let it go. It made sense to me that I even though we might have problems and go through hard things in life, we can still make the choice if we want it like that or if we want to change. Eveyone has the ability to shape up their life and go through a good path in life in order to succeed and forget about all the negative things that happened to you in the passed. To not let the things that happened in the past, bother you in the present and the choices you make in life.

Propaganda

This propaganda is about the Holocaust because Hitler and the Nazis blamed the Jews for Germany's problems. On this propaganda, "Der ist schuld am kriege" means "Who is to blame for the war." And as you see, a Nazi member is blaming the Jew. "Jude" means "Jew." I picked this propaganda because it really stood out to me. This was actually true because Hitler and the Nazis hated Jews as well as other groups. Adolf Hitler then started to convey others that Jews were the reason for Germany's problems and they would fed in and followed the leader. Soon enough, after Hitler would take power of Germany, the Nazis did all these terible things to the Jews, just because of their religion and hatred toward them. So, they set up concentration camps, where Jews would be forced to work hard until the Nazis didn't need them, and then killed them. Jews barely got anything to eat, some were lucky to stay alive for a long time, and others would not make it due to hunger or disease. Jews were also put into ghettos, that are small cities, where Jews lived, and the Nazis put ghettos to keep Jews segregated and have no rights. Kids and elderly people were prosecuted right away because the Nazis didn't need them or thought they were useless. This is why I picked this propaganda, it has alot of affect and is really related on why and how Hitler and Nazis hated Jews and why the holocaust occurred. It was all because of hatred toward Jews.
