The Power of One

     I am not totally sure what the lesson is that Peekay learns that is the most importing in cultivating The Power Of One is. In the Power Of One I think there are a lot of thing that could mean. It could be talking about finding something your are good at or where you belong.
     Whats make Peekay the way he is, is wanting to become welterweight champion of the world. This is what he make his life around in my option. When he is seven and they tell him that he is not ready to fight that make him try harder, when he is told he can't do it in anything he will try harder.
      When Peekay is in his first match everyone counts him out they almost always count him out. He win his first fight and all the fights that follow he will go undefeated his whole life that we read about. He was never handed one fight there are matches that that referee doesn't even want him to fight in but the coached promise if he is gonna get hurts or looks like he might they will pull him out of the fight.
     No matter what Peekay ever does he always want to make himself better for fighting. He goes to be a grizzly man witch is someone who works with explosive. The reason he does that is to get bigger and stronger for fighting. In the ended he meets The Judge, his long time enemy and he finally gets closure by fighting him and beating him.
     This has been a short essay on how Peekay finds his power in fighting being a champion. He works his whole life for it and never give up even when odds or not with him. We never know if he becomes champion but I think he did because he was undefeated tell that day. This is where Peekay belongs always fighting for what he want.

Inner and outer qualities

     What I think of for people being different for inner and outer is that you can look at them for many different reason like color religion weight and many more. How people look can affect them for getting picked on a team to play like dodge ball or something. They could really be one of the best players.
     I know what its like to be picked last and it sucks. So just to judge someone buy how they look is dumb because you miss a lot they have to offer like in Kong Fu if they didn't except that boy just because he is not full Chinese would be a loss and the master see that and excepts him. This is what I believe we should learn from Kong Fu and never to judge "a book by its cover".

I don't know much about china so i am gonna like learning about it. I know we had summer Olympics there and the great wall of china is large. also we buy a lot of stuff from there cause like everything we buy says "made in china". Plus they speak a different language than we do. they Eat a lot of rice and i love Chinese food sometimes. I don't know what there religion is or really anything more about China.

jobs that complement each other

I picked Jewelery places and the East Boulder Mine because the jewelery store sell platinum and pladium that the mine drills for and they are a buyer of the mine. so like in the story they complement each other by both profit the mine would lose there job and what they do just like molley would be out of a job if the fish didn't do what is does.

persepolis

I felt that in the end of the book it wrapped up well. Marjane relized that sometimes growing up isnt everything it seems to be so when marjane is leaving she has to grow up and move on. Her parents are very sad to and the mom faints.
