Armstrong and Braddock Similarities

Some of the different similarities that Lance Armstrong and James Braddock have is that they are both very resilient. One way that Lance Armstrong is resilient is because he fights cancer and other diseases everyday, and still manages to shake it off, and keep riding his bicycle and winning marathons.One way that James Braddock is resilient is because he was super poor, and could barely afford to put food on the table for his family. James Braddock thought that the only way that he could get some money was to win boxing matches, so James Braddock faced the challenge, and started becoming a great/well known boxer.There are tons of ways that these two people are similar. One way is because they both overcame a huge challenge that was put in their way and stood up for themselves and overcame that specific challenge.

This description is really in depth and talks a lot about both people. I think your connection is really strong and you could talk even more about why they relate. But I think overall that this is really well written and easy to understand, which is great. Nice Work!
