Creed by Zanaya Yancey-Gordon


In the movie Creed, the main character Adonis Creed chased his dream of becoming a boxer. Rocky Balboa was his trainer in achieving what he wanted to do. Adonis grew up in poverty with his mother in a poor neighborhood. His mother ended up dying and he got thrown into the foster care system. Adonis didn't know he was Apollo Creed's son until his widow came and adopted him while he was in foster care. Soon came Rocky who was interested in training him. He won his first fight and then Pretty Ricky's manager came to him asking for a fight but, Adonis had to take the last name Creed. At first he didn't want to to take the last name Creed and he wanted to keep his last name which was Johnson. His girlfriend Bianca encouraged him to take the last name because it was his and he should wear it. Adonis trained to fight Ricky since he was the light heavyweight champion. When the fight came about Adonis was extremely nervous since it was a lot of people and he didn’t think he was ready yet Rocky said he was. Creed And Ricky’s fight last a full 12 rounds and nobody thought Creed could last that long. Ricky won the fight but, Creed won the night. The entire crowd respected him and questioned was he continuing the legend of his father Apollo Creed. I feel that without Rocky Balboa pushing Creed to continue to fight. Sometimes in life you just need that one person to believe in you to push you to continue to work hard.
