Activity 2: What’s in a Name? [4 points]
Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxers of all time. He started boxing when he was 12 years old and went on to become the World Heavyweight Champion numerous times in the 1960s and 1970s.
Muhammad Ali was an African American man born with the name Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. When he was a young man, however, he became a Muslim and converted to Islam. When he converted, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. During his life, Ali gave a lot of time and money to various charities. He also helped to feed more than 22 million people across the world who didn’t have enough food. Despite all of his charitable work, Muhammad Ali is still best known for his agressive boxing style, his confident personality and his inspirational quotes.

ReplyDeleteBack again to comment on your awesome blog posts! I really need Pelimani or Erica (the other blog commenters) to check your posts out and comment on them so you don’t get sick of seeing my name all the time.
I really love how you wouldn’t want to change your name because you respect that that’s the name that your parents gave you. I think it is such a special thing that we don’t often think about. I this that is wonderful that if you were to change your name you would change it to your great grandads name, Peter. Ps, Well done on writing ‘Peter’ in funky letters. Can you show me how you did this?
Can’t wait to read more of your blog posts Lukas, keep up the mahi!
Cheers,
Georgia
