2nd annotation

2. Myers, Walter. The Greatest. New York: Scholastic Inc., 1996.

This annotaion is one from the book by Walter Dean Myers who is a two-time newberry- honor award winner. Walter is nominated for this book that he has written, which is about Muhammad Ali. This book is called "The Greatest". This book has really helped me on some of the research I have got done for my National History Day project. So far, this book talks about how he became a symbol of the antiwar movement-and a defender of civil rights. As "The Greatest", he was a boxer of undeniable talent and courage. This book also talks about his childhood in the segregated South to his current fight with Parkinson's disease. One quote from the book is "float like a butterfly sting like a bee!" This quotes means that he whould dance on the ring on his toes(float a butterfly). And his punches would (sting like a bee), the came and hit you so quick and powerfully especially his left handed jab.
