Remember The Titans Character Analysis

Have you read Wonder or Summer ball? They are both amazing books. In the story Wonder, by R.J. Palacio, Julian is a big bully and in the story Summer ball, by Mike Lupica, Lamar is also a big bully. Both Lamar and Julian are big bullies because they bully the main character, and not only the main character but also other characters. The first reason I think they are both bullies is because they both bully the main character in the book they are in.

In the book, Warriors Don’t Cry by Melba Patillo Beals, all of the character present were true warriors at heart. Between the students that attended Central High School and the family members that had to go through the struggle of being hated in their own town, they did not give up. I believe that I am most like Melba because I never give up, I have had similar events happen to me in my own school, and I have a family that is just as supportive as hers.

“Courage, I seemed to think, comes to us in finite quantities, like inheritance and by being frugal and stashing it away and letting it earn interest, we steadily increase our moral capital in preparation for that day when the account must be drawn down.” (pg.40) Tim O'brien turns a boy decision of weather to fight in the Vietnam war or flee to Canada into such an exciting piece of writing by using character Elroy Berdahl who is a silent Observer who helps Tim overcome his fears and hallucinations.

In this clip from “Friday Night Lights,” the coach gives an inspirational, yet emotional speech to his football players about what it means to be perfect. The clip starts off with the coach stating how most of the players are almost finished with their football careers. He tries to play on their emotions by saying, “…most of you have been playing this game for ten years, you got two more quarters and after that most of you will never play this game again, as long as you live.” The coach uses pauses, skill number three, in this part of his speech to give the players a second to really think about what he is saying, and to realize that he is right about this being the last time they will ever play the game. He then goes on the explain what he

In the movie Remember the titans directed by Boaz Yakin. A character that changes throughout the movie is Gerry Bertier. The movie is strongly based around racial integration with the high school T.C Williams, in my opinion many people change their point of view about each race. This essay will describe how Gerry changes throughout the movie. Gerry changes throughout the movie.

Remember the Titans is a film based on the true story of Virginia High School football team working to come together during desegregation in the 1970s. Herman Boone, a black head coach, is hired to lead the T.C Williams High School Football Team. The team formerly led by a white coach, Bill Yoast, is better known by their nickname, The Titans. Both Boone and Yoast must work together to bring their white and black players together in a time where segregation across racial lines in the south was commonly accepted. Boone and Yoast are successful in doing this during the team’s training camp, only to return to find that bringing the team together would be only one of the challenges they faced. We see both coaches work together and lead the team to an undefeated season that helped unite the town and overcome its own racial strife.

In the beginning of the film there was a lot of hatred towards each race as the whites and blacks didn’t get along well with each other, little did they know that they would both be put on the same football team and have to participate in a camp if they were serious about joining the team. The person that they were sitting next to in the bus was the person they would be bunking with for the next two weeks and it happened that both Gerry and Julius were both in the same room. The issue that started the conflict between the two was Julius had hung a “black people power” poster on the wall which Gerry found intimidating. This resulted in Gerry attempting to remove the poster with force. This is what sparked the fight between the two and before long the entire team jumped in and fought for their own race in a tiny little dorm. As each day went on, they got to know each other bit by bit and would come closer to becoming friends probably because of the fact that they were the two head captains of the team and had to set an example for the rest of their own race and get them to all become friends, otherwise the team would fall apart. By the end of the film they were very close and would hang out all the time, until they had an altercation and just

While watching 'Remember the Titans', I found many examples of characters building and sustaining positive relationships. Strong bonds were created throughout the movie, but there was one in particular that sparked a memory. Louie sitting with the black players in the lunchroom reminded of a personal connection of when my teacher showed the class what to do if we didn't have anyone to play with. When everyone was sitting with a players of the same race, Louie decided to go with the unfamiliar route and sit with Julius, Blue, Rev, and Petey-all of which have a different skin colour than him. He didn't care about ethnicity, he wanted to get to know them.

Our actions and interactions with others and society are what define us. Society’s perception of an individual may contrast with that individual’s perception of self. Our actions and interactions with others create certain stigmas which may not change despite progression and change an individual has undergone. But however at the end of the day we are our own creators and we chose who we interact with.

Every person, no matter what they think, classifies one another as either bad or good. It may be based on their opinion, but as many say; actions speak louder than words. In Sirens of Titan, Winston Niles Rumfoord discovers humanity’s purpose and with this knowledge he determines his situation as good or bad. Throughout the book, Winston Niles Rumfoord proves himself to be a bad person because with the knowledge he has gained from passing through a chrono-synclastic infundibulum, he makes nothing but bad use of it.

He seems to want the audience to respond with shock and sympathy as they witness how vile the black people are treated. One of the few racism dilemma’s is shown after Gerry, Alan and Ray are returned to the high school after coach Yoast stops them from joining the city riots. Infuriated with the black people fighting back, Gerry instigates the racism and discrimination, snarling, “Hell why don’t you just kick ‘em all off the team. I don’t wanna play with any of them black animals.” This scene was very effective and coincided with the use of close-up camera shots to enhance Gerry’s emotions, whilst reinforcing Yakin’s message that black people were treated poorly and erratically.

The film Big Hero 6, is about Hiro, a 14 year old boy who creates an incredible invention called microbots to achieve his dream of enrolling into the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. The microbots are tiny robots that are linked together through any way, shape, or form, through a neurotransmitter. However, trouble strikes as someone steals them, but Hiro and Tadashi, his deceased brother’s medical assistant robot Baymax save the day along with the other multiracial four heroes who were his Tadashi’s friends at the institute as they capture the villain. Big Hero 6, in particular, made me witness how Disney had began to endeavored taking a technological path, opposed to other films intended for children. I believe that Big Hero 6 stands out from all the other movies intended for kids, as from my analysis the movie made me see that it’s characters were mostly all centered around intellectual human-beings. But Disney still used a well-known cliche as they still put at least one unintelligent character in the movie, mostly due to comedic purposes. However, in Big Hero 6, there were some weaknesses that could’ve made this movie even better. The first weakness, was that the directors could’ve added more insight/backstory on how the Hamada household came to be. I felt like starting off with that to go along with the bot-fighting scene would connect must smoother to the movie. Giving the audience some insight/backstory to Big Hero 6, might specify maybe how their aunt became

When I read The Reunion, immediately I was introduced to the character of Hans Schwarz. He was introduced as being bored, as he was, “Half asleep, doodling and daydreaming.”(2) I saw him as being a typical bored boy that you would see in any classroom in America. When Konradin entered the picture, I immediately saw a difference in Hanz. He was suddenly very attentive and alert, noticing things that other boys may not have been paying attention to. Hans noticed how Konradin organized his pencils, and how elegant and polite he was (2). When Hans decides that he wants to become friends with Konradin, you see him suddenly become very determined and motivated. He is now participating in class, and doing so well that people who had thought nothing of him before, took a new interest. “The results startled my teachers. They turned to me with a new hope and a touching joy.” (3) That new motivation has changed not only how the characters in the story saw him, but how I saw him as well. I saw that he had a strength of character and determination that was different from other kids. There was no whining about how long it was taking to become friends, only Hans trying harder and harder to impress Konradin. During one of his classes, a teacher calls for volunteers to do a seemingly difficult gymnastics routine, Hans is the only one who volunteered, simply to make himself stand out to Konradin (3). To me, that shows a real motivation, because, it takes courage to do something hard in front

     Another important role that is established by one of the players is the role of the magnet that finally brings the black kids and the white kids together. This role is taken on by Louie Lastik. He takes this role when he’s the first one to approach the other black kids and make friends with them. He shows us his role when he sits down net to the black kids

In the film “Remember the Titans” head coach H. Boone exhibits many perspectives of an effective leader of change. He embraces natural tactics of being Real, Relevant, and Relatable as a way of implementing change amongst these divided young men.
