Miss Spitfire - Book Review

Imagine being deaf and blind, with no one understand standing your needs or wants. All you can do is scream. That's the story of Helen Keller.

The story starts in 1887 when Anne Sullivan arrives at Ivy Green. Helen has a very aggressive attitude. D-o-l-l Anne spells into Helen's hand while she holds a doll in her other. Anne decides to teach Helen like this. The only problem is her attitude. She bites, scratches and kicks. Anne tries her best to teach Helen. Day by day, Helen grows more obedient and caring.

This book is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone. It is the miracle of learning. I think everyone can enjoy this book because there aren't lots of stories like this.

TIGER - Movie Review

Pardeep Singh Nagra was a boxer. Well, more than that actually. Tiger is a movie based on the true story of Pardeep Singh Nagra. Pardeep was born and raised in Canada. He faced lots of discrimination because of his faith and culture. He was raised by his aunt and uncle because his parents moved to India. In the movie, Pardeep had lots of rage and anger. That's how he became a boxer. He let out all his anger with each punch. The boxing club that he attended was filled with racists. He got better day by day with practise and support from his coach and soon from his fellow boxers. The problem soon arose. The ABC (American Boxing Commission) didn't approve of Pardeep boxing. It was because he had a beard and the rules say the boxer must be clean shaved. Pardeep and his lawyer fought until he was allowed to box. But did it work? Watch the movie to find out! I can relate to the movie. I have witnessed and faced racism countless times. I think that what Pardeep did r

Meeting a Member of The LGBTQ Community May Not Be Possible In The United States
