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 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

Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas - Book Review

We'll get to the root of Petey's problems. Why he's the villain, in every Dog Man book. Well, this time it's different. Petey's the good guy. We'll also meet his childhood friends, who want their revenge with a giant Robo-Brontosaurus. And Petey will fight back with the power of knock-knock jokes, in Flip-O-Rama. Will the power of good arise or will Petey stay his rotten old self? This book is very funny. Something I always enjoy about Dog Man books is Lil Petey (he's my favourite character). He always does this thing where he says "why" after everything. Here's an example from the book. Lil Petey is never mad or angry. He is always happy and innocent. He makes many jokes that are always HILARIOUS! I also really love Flip-O-Rama scenes, Dav Pilkey always has Flip-O-Rama's in his books. Flip-O-Rama is when you flip a page very quickly and it looks like it is animated. I think that anyone, any age would laugh and learn some...

They moved to an old farmhouse. They had found Jory's little sister in the fields eating pumpkins. Ansel, Jory's little brother, was born there. Jory Birch has no ordinary life. He has a life full of secrets, danger, silent sister and signs. Now he had to go to school too. Jory had always been home schooled by his mother. Kit was a secret. So were the signs. School was school and home was home. Jory couldn't let them mix. Friends were school and family was home. Signs were anywhere and everywhere, Caleb - Jory's stepfather says. Signs. They could be anywhere. They could be anything. They mean everything. Red leaves in the springtime. Pages torn from a library book. All the fishes in an aquarium facing the same way. A cracked egg with twin yolks. All signs. Caleb tol...

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...
