    Crash Analysis I think that it relates to my life by knowing that most people will respond in the attitude that they are being presented. He responded in that way because he was in the heat of the moment having an argument and couldn’t find a simpler way out so he went with what he thought was best.

    John “Crash” Coogan is the typical jock; he lives in Pennsylvania and is starting his second year of middle school as a 7th grader.

The film Crash is a good artistic
