FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
Scott Oliver, the father of Hunter who struggles with autism and epilepsy "worried that [taekwondo] could be too rigorous for his son" but later found that "not only could [Hunter] do it, he could enjoy it as well"(Ledig). |
Before taking taekwondo Hunter was "refusing to eat" but "the first thing Hunter learned was the importance of good nutrition" and saw "the importance of eating regularly to keep up his strength"(Ledig). |
Not only did Hunter learn the importance of nutrition but " 'He's much more self-confident' " and " 'If there is something he cannot do, he'll still try it anyway' "(Man-Son-Hing). |
Hunters self confidence isn't only on the mat but "that self-confidence carries over into his home life as well"(Ledig). |
Man-Son-Hing is a firm believer in the powers of martial arts for "Martial arts is not just another sport — it's a way of life" and he has proven this point with helping Hunter both physically and mentally. |
