Nelson Mandela
has always been considered a hero. Everything that was promising in South Africa
was related with him. Nelson Mandela died the 5th December of 2013, and had a
Nobel Peace Prize.
When he was in
prison, there was a poem that made him be strong while being there. That poem
is Invictus, by William Ernest Henley. It reflects the feelings that he had
when being in prison, where he spent 27 years.
The writer was
not wellknown, and this is his most famous poem. He was Robert Louis Stevensons’
friend, and the character of Long John Silver in the Treasure’s
Island was inspired in him.
Nelson Mandela
got married three times, and had six sons. He had twenty grandsons and an increasing
number of greatgrandsons.
He got retired
of the politics life at the age of 81, and started fighting against the AIDS.
He lost a son because of this disease.
He loved
classical music, specially Händel and Tchaikovsky. He’s
really admired in South Africa, and people call him by his clan name: Madiba.
Nelson Mandela
went to prison for defending black people rights, and became a worldwide known
person for that. He also fought for many good causes, and people knew him as
the most important black leader of South Africa.
He played
Malcolm X role in the film Malcolm X, by Spike Lee, and three films have been
made about different parts of his life.
