English Conference
There were a lot of things that we went over during my conference. The main thing that i need to do for my research paper is to develop an argument. One thing that i was thinking about for my argument could be what is important about Jackie Robinson. A major topic that Tess wants me to talk about is Branch Rickey. What his angle on picking up Jackie Robinson, who was on his side, and how Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson met, are a few things that i can talk about in my paper. I can talk about why Robinson wanted to play Major League Baseball, who made it possible for him to play, and why did only a few people want him to play in the MLB. There is another issue that i can talk about and that is if Jackie was interested in MLB or if he was happy in the Negro League. I found a great video that i can use for my presentation. It's called Jackie Robinson A Life Story. Here are some of the main point mentioned in the video: Jackie Robinson was a great role model not only for African Americans but all Americans. There is no greater figure in terms of the impact on social history. One of the fiercest competitors that ever played the game. It seemed like everyone was against him even his own teammates. He was a great athlete and a great person to be around.
