Mon Influence sur la Culture Francaise:
I, Zinedine Zidane, have made a large amount of contributions to french culture. Be it popular culture or just in general I have done a lot to influence my country. one of these influences that weighs heavily on french pop culture is my incident in the world cup finals. When talking with a player on the other team, he said something about my mother that I didn't much care for. In retaliation to his statement I headbutted him in the neck, drawing a red card and an expultion from the game.
This moment heavily influenced the french pop culture scene, one can still find pictures and videos of this moment on line. Although this was a seemingly personal moment it happened to occur on a very large stage and now gives all young soccer players who once looked up to me a whole other opinion. Unfortionatly I will most likely be represented almost certainly by this moment, my reputation as a resposible role model has been tarnished by this moment. This moment of weekness resembles the kind of news that people prey on. If only people can remember my contributions to charity.
In the span of my life I have done a lot of work for charity. In 2003, I attended the Race Against Hunger organized by Action Against Hunger Spain held at the French Lyceum of Madrid. 35,000 dollars was raised by this event.This was the most monumental of my charity acts. I am proud to say that I have influenced many people to work for charity and to help others.
You seem to know a lot about your topic, and that comes accross in the wiki. The youtube videos and slideshows add a little zest to the page, and your explanation of your influence on French Culture was very throuough. Good Work! Maybe center your information so it looks nicer.
Nice job on accomplishments and the information was extremely detailed. The youtube video was good selected too since it is a well known thing. Some information was written in 3rd person. But overall really nice.
The information on this page is very throughel and is well organized. Espacially in the section that is labeld indivudal. Nice resources that are cited. They are all very reliable.
The information put forth in this page was very detailed and it went in depth. It lets the reader understand the life of Zindene Zidane and what he has done through his life. Overall the page was done well but a little more effort in the influence on french culture and the page would have been perfect.
Wow, that was amazingly good. I liked the slideshow in the front, it gave a vibe of proffesionalism as I looked at each photo with amazement. The videos spiced up your topic as Zenadine headbutted that guy from Italy. I have no critisism for this other than its a little too long. Overall great job.
Dude, this guy is amazing (have his jersey. woot!!). I really liked the videos/slideshows because they added color to your page. Your writing was also really detailed and explicit :)
Good job! That was really well written, especially the accomplishments part, I liked how you subdivided that category so that it was easier to follow. And I loved the videos and pictures, it really made this page more appealing. The only improvement that you could have made was expanding on your 'Personal Details', I would really like to know what Zidane did before he became a soccer player.
I like it. I especially like the slideshow thing, and the two videos. Your information is well organized, and you have good insightful information. Overall i think its great.
Nice page! It was very visually appealing with your application of slideshows and pictures. I was astounded by the generous amount of award that Zidane has won and how much he has contributed to charity. Overall, you did well on the creation of your page but think about adding a little more depth on his personal details.
