Remember The Titans Research Paper

Homer Hickam was a teenage boy from a mining town in West Virginia called Coalwood. He inspired to build rockets when he seen the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, streak across the stars. With his friends and the local nerd, Homer sets out to do just that but with many errors and trials. Along with the town, Homer's father thought they were wasting their time with their rockets. He wanted Homer to be a coal miner just like everyone else but Homer knew he didn't belong there. As time went on, some people from town became interested in seeing the homemade missiles launch into the sky. The boys became popular and were known as the "Rocketboys" around town.

Remember The Titans is a great football movie, and an even better civil rights movie. The movie shows how TC Williams handled desegregation and how the football team brought the community together. When the white players and black players came together for the first time, they did not get along. Coach Herman Boone took the team to a camp, and the players started to get along. When the players went back to school, they experienced the racism all over again. Eventually, the team helped the school and community get over the desegregation.

In conclusion, the film October Sky touches on Homer Hickman’s determination to successfully build and launch his own rocket despite being isolated by his family, friends, schoolmates, school officials and community. This is shown through John Hickman (Homers father), the town of Coalwood and Mr. Turner

The Rocket Boys began to publicly announce when their rocket launching was to take place “because I [Sonny] had promised Mr. Dubonnet and the other miners at the tipple I’d let them know when there was going to be a launch” (Hickam 129). From then on, as the rockets advanced technically, the Rocket Boys’ recognition increased. And, as time progressed and more and more notices about the BCMA [Big Creek Missile Agency] were posted around town, more and more people began to make an appearance at their rocket launchings. One person in particular was Basil Oglethorpe, a news reporter for the McDowell County Banner. Now, just like the majority of Coalwood, he found the Rocket Boys interesting. So, interesting, in fact, to write a whole article about them which read, “If you have any hope of understanding what the grand and glorious future holds for all who dare seize it, you must come to see the rocket boys of Coalwood” (Hickam 139). Obviously, Basil was quite impressed with what he had experienced, but he wasn’t the only one who wanted to publicize the Rocket Boys. Sonny’s teacher, Miss. Riley, was also informed of the Rocket Boys’ growing success, and even suggested they enter the National Science Fair. And, after a great period of contemplation, they ultimately agreed, winning state in the

In October Sky, Homer is trying to become astronomer and he makes a group called the “Rocket Boys”. Every week or so they make a rocket that they launch up in the sky and measure how far it goes so they be able to win the science fair.

As a perfect demonstration of the classical cliché “failure is success’s mother”, the 1999 movie October Sky illustrates the rough path of a group of boys chasing their dream. As the Hickam was settled on his dream of being a rocket scientist, he inspired his friends Roy Lee Cooke and Sherman O’Dell, and the math geek Quentin Wilson, to work with him on innovating their own rocket. During the process, Hickam and his friends overcome many derider and difficulties until their launch of the rocket model was finally successful. As soon as they successes, the mine disaster happened. Hickam’s father was injured. Thus, Hickam had to give up his school and dream to work at the mine. Fortunately, when his father recovers, he was able to return to school.

Do you know where you were or what you were doing on July 16th of 1969? That was the day that Saturn 5 launched into space with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldren and Michael Collins on board. From July 16th thru July 24th is a time in the United States flight history that will live forever. Even though the United States and the Union of Soviet S. Republic were fighting each other the methods were almost the same.

Civil Rights are the rights that people are born with. The Civil Rights Movement began when people realized that the rights they were born with were being taken away. The Civil Rights Movement shows up in my text when talking about Remember the Titans because the entire movie is about how hard it was for the whites to overcome discrimination by using a sports team for demonstration. The text and the history of my topic are linked because the blacks weren’t allowed to play on the whites team but when they were put together, they worked together to get the job done, despite race. The scene that had the biggest impact on overcoming racism was when Garry got in the car accident because (1) the whole team accepted each other and came to the hospital for Garry (2) Mrs. Bertier overcame the Julius’ race and (3) when Garry recognized Julius as his brother.

Remember The Titans The movie Remember the Titans is a film dealing with the integration of schools in the 1970s. Two schools, one white and one black, are forced to integrate in Virginia. The football coach of the black school is given the head football coaching position over the successful coach of the white high school. The football team must put aside their racial differences and learn to play as one unified team.
