Muhammad was historically significant in many ways. “...Muhammad, was born in the bustling city of Makkah around A.D. 570.” (pg 271).

At the young age of 13, Muhammad already had a job as a camel caravan worker. “When Muhammad was about 25 years old, Kadijah proposed marriage to him.” (pg 271).

Although Beah was from an under developed nation, he had the dreams and thoughts of any normal teenager from the west. It is heartbreaking to learn that such dreams of millions of children like Beah are crushed down and ripped apart by the institution of War.…
“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life” (“Muhammad Ali Quotes”). This quote is from the world’s most famous boxing champion, Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali also changed his original name because it was a slave name and it was against his religious beliefs. Muhammad Ali is a big inspiration to me. I can relate to his determination that he has with his sport and…
