TIGER - Movie Review

Pardeep Singh Nagra was a boxer. Well, more than that actually. 
Image result for tiger movie posterTiger 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 really motivate me to speak for what is wrong. I think that people need to know about his story. What he did was astounding and significant. 
I would rate this movie a 3.5/5. It was a marvellous movie from the fighting for rights perspective. It showed how you should stand up for something that is wrong. Something that didn't make sense was that Pardeep is actually a Canadian, but the movie took place in America. 

Cast:
Prem Singh as Pardeep Nagra
Mickey Rourke as Frank Donovan (coach)
Janel Parrish as Charlotte (lawyer)
Michael Pugliese as Byran Doyle
Carly Tamborski as Aunt

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown - Book Review

What will Greg Heffley do when it's a snow day? He'll have a neighbourhood snow battle, that's right. Greg Heffley lives on Surrey Street and it's quite different from your average neighbourhood. On Surrey Street, you're either a hill kid or a non-hill kid. Greg and the hill kids can't stand the non-hill kids. In the summer the kids at the bottom never let the hill kids play down there. But in the winter the tables are turned. The hill is amazing for sledding and all the non-hill kids want in. Upper Surrey Street ambushing lower Surrey Street kids If you really want to enjoy and understand this book you have to know your Wimpy. In this book, there are a lot of callbacks to things that happen in previous books. So, to understand this book read a couple of the older Wimpy Kid books.  So I really loved this book. In fact, I really love the entire series. I would recommend this book to ages 10-12. Something I would love to see is this book in movie for...

Earth's Cavities

Earth’s Cavities Candy is a kid's fantasy. That exemplifies why we eat so much of it, but it doesn't explain why the wrappers end up on the street. If you walk around your block, you can find enough wrappers to wear. So let's take a look at the sour side of this sweet. Halloween. We all know about it and all the candy we can get. Did you know 600 pounds of  candy is bought in the season of Halloween in America? With all these wrappers there has to be  a solution but still be able to celebrate Halloween, right? Well, there is! You can give out candy  that is in boxes! Dots, Milk Duds, and Nerds all come in recyclable cardboard packaging. You  can also buy your candy in bulk and make 'Mystery Bags’. Many candies are wrapped in plastic, and that plastic is made of lots. Bits of plastic, aluminum,  and paper make up a candy wrapper. It's hard to recover all those materials to recycle. When  these wrappers are thrown on the ground or in the ga...
