Coach Boone Character Analysis
Respected, strong and intelligent, three great synonyms for Remember the Titans’ Coach Herman Boone, yet like the rest of race, he was not always treated as an equal. Throughout the film Coach Boone deals with many everyday struggles, yet his responses deliver a very important lesson. Early in the film when the team is boarding the bus for camp, Coach Boone faces a problem when Gary demands half of the team to be white and states they “don’t need any of his people on defense”, referring to the black students. This is the first time that the audience sees how Coach Boone stands for disrespect and discrimination as he proceeds to humiliate Gary and his friend, establishing the respect he demands, in front of their peers, by repeating that he

    Remember the Titans Rhetorical Analysis

    In the movie Remember the Titans Coach Boone gives a speech on the battle ground of Gettysburg. Coach Boone was hired and made head coach over the nominated Hall of Fame Coach Yoast. Racial tensions were building between team members because their school, T.C. Williams became integrated. His team of football players had a problem with open prejudice and hostility between the black and white players. After a day of bad practice, Coach Boone took his team out for a run in the middle of the night through the forest to deal with the issue. When the players were finally given a chance to breathe they realized that they were at the Civil War battle ground of Gettysburg.

    Character Analysis: Chris Mccandless

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

Little Richard seems to be enjoying himself while on the other side of the spectrum, Pat Boone’s performance has some body language but mainly focuses on the content of the lyrics as a whole. Pat Boone had no audience within view which isolates Boone to receive the entire viewers’ attention. In relationship to rhythmatic scheme, Pat Boone has a very fast pace attached to his quick delivering lyrics. Little Richard pace is much more slow, with Little Richard incorporating the audience makes it perfect, allowing the audience to clap along. A very strong argument can be made for…
