When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice at bottom. Contributors:Elyssa Tardiff, Allen Brizee. Summary: This resource describes why outlines are useful, what types of outlines exist, suggestions for developing effective outlines, and how outlines can be used as an invention strategy for writing. Four Main Components for Effective Outlines Ideally, you should follow the four suggestions presented here to create an effective outline. When creating a topic outline, follow these two rules for capitalization: For firstlevel heads, present the information using all uppercase letters; and for secondary and tertiary items, use upper and lowercase letters. The examples are taken from the Sample Outline handout. Parallelism—How do I accomplish this? Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a verb, the second heading should be a verb. Example: I. CHOOSE DESIRED COLLEGES II. PREPARE APPLICATION ("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs. The present tense of the verb is usually the preferred form for an outline.) Coordination—How do I accomplish this? All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings)...

In 1954, when Ali was only 12 years old, his bike was stolen when he was with a friend at the Columbia auditorium. Boiling with rage, young Cassius encountered Joe Martin, a police officer. It was Martin who first advised him to learn boxing before he thought about fighting with anybody for revenge! This was the time when Clay began training with Fred Stoner. With Stoner’s training, Clay then won six Kentucky Golden Gloves title and many more medals. Young Cassius thus began dreaming about being a heavyweight champion at an early age. As a teenager, this boy completely dedicated himself to boxing. He practiced with unmatched fervor. His constant practice set him off from other boys. The talent and hard work is what helped him to bag all the medals even before he turned 18 years of age. With 100 wins in his amateur career, Cassius returned home to Louisville only to be shocked with unfair treatment. Cassius was refused service at a local restaurant despite all the extraordinary feats. Muhammad Ali’s childhood was thus not an ordinary life. It was the beginning that laid the foundation of a success story to inspire many others that choose this...

Ali fizzled the U.S. Military qualifying test in light of the fact that his written work and spelling aptitudes were below the national standard. Because of the immediate coming of the Vietnam War, the test norms were brought down in November 1965 thus Ali was named eligible, which implied he was currently qualified for the draft and actuation into the military (Cassius Marsellus CLAY, Jr.). At the point when advised of this status, he announced that he would decline to serve in the U.S. Armed force and openly viewed himself as an outspoken opponent (Bingham). Ali expressed that War is against the teachings of the Qur'an. The court decided that Ali did not have proper distinction to declare ineligible for the draft. This was a violation of Ali’s first amendment freedom to freely exercise religion. Cassius Clay joined the Nation of Islam, converting to Sunni Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. In 1967, three years subsequent to winning the heavyweight title, Ali declined his recruitment into the U.S. military, referring to his religious convictions and resistance to be involved in the Vietnam War (Bingham). He was inevitably captured and discovered liable on draft evasion charges. Ali bid his nearby draft board's dismissal of his application for outspoken opponent grouping (Cassius Marsellus CLAY, Jr.).

The career of Cassius Clay began at the age of twelve. After his brand new bike had been stolen at the Louisville Home Show. He wanted to “whoop” the thieves so badly that he began to take boxing lessons. His first victory was a three round, three-minute split decision match. As he became more dedicated to boxing, Clay advanced to winning six Kentucky Golden Gloves Championships, two National Golden Glove tournaments and two National AAU titles. He won a gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics. The career highlight for Cassius Clay was being titled heavyweight champion after his defeating Sonny Liston.
