Remember The Titans: Success As A Football Team

ENGLISH GENERAL TASK 6
REMEMEBER THE TITANS
IN CLASS ESSAY The movie Remember the Titans is one about a high school football team. However, it's much more than that. Remember the Titans is about the struggle to succeed, not just as a football team, but also succeed in making and keeping a friendship, despite the circumstances. The team struggled for many reasons the main one being race but also because of having a new coach who wants them to achieve perfection. Despite the circumstances, the T.C. Williams High School Titans succeeded as a football team. The Titans were successful as a team because of leadership and dedication.
The initiating events that reflected the changing nature of American society is when the two schools had to join
Due to these they lost a game, because in the filed they didn’t work together as a team. Other example is when the players understood each other on the film and didn’t understand each other outside the field, for example when sunny asked them to come with him to a restaurant and the black boys got offended and insulted by the restaurant manager. They were told to go and eat at the back where cabbage was thrown because they were seen as lesser people.

This changed overtime as the movie went on due to some of these complications like the scene when they had a fight and then after the fight they both
Gerry said that “can’t you see the resembling”? He is my brother’ this scene relates to Martin Luther King speech because he once said that ‘’I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the son of former slaves and owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood”. When Rosa Park sat in front of the bus, she was arrest because that was where a white men was supposed to sit. She got arrested, and due to this the civil right movement begun and the black people finally came together and put an end to segregation. I think that America hasn’t change for the better yet because up to these day racism is still in America because white police men are still killing innocent black men and also because there is a lot of separation created between the white and black people, the white people have their rich and safe neighbourhood and the black people have their poor and dangerous neighbourhood, white children have more opportunities compared to the black children. They have better chance to go to a good schools, hospitals and many more and most of the black people in order to make out of the street one either be a rapper, drug dealer or a gangster. And also because the kkk is still killing innocent black people. They are similar issues in Australia because in Australia people want to be
