1. I really enjoyed this film!! It was one of my favorites so far! It was a great way to show what exactly happened back then and how Jackie Robinson made such a difference for all African Americans and for baseball in general. This was a great film and I really enjoyed every part of it.
2.Yes, I think Jackie Robinson helped our country. He made a huge movement for equality and for all African Americans in general. He really paved the way for many baseball players in the future. What we can learn from people like Jackie Robinson is to always stay confident with who you are and how you can make a difference. Even if everyone is trying to bring you down, we have to keep our heads up high and prove them wrong. We have to be the example and the difference, and we have to do something that will change the world and make it a little bit easier for others in the future.
3. Jackie's values are many that I take to heart. Staying strong and focused and keeping your mind set to what has to be accomplished can be one of the hardest things to do but, at the end of the day you'll feel so accomplished once you achieve your goal. Also, working with others and always doing your best are two key values that stood out to me. It can be very hard to work with others and get along with others but, "killing them with kindness" sometimes is the best thing you can do to be the bigger person in the situation. Always doing your best is one of the things that can be very hard to live by. Going that extra mile and putting your mind and body through tough situations are hard, but that one goal that keeps you going makes it all worth it in the end.
4. This quote means that if you haven't made a difference throughout this process sometimes the whole journey is not even worth it. I agree with this quote. This quote is an example of how you can change the world and impact many peoples lives. If you set a good example and if you do the right things in your life you are even closer to making a change and impact in the world and possibly in someones life.
I loved the movie too! I really like how you said that it is difficult to work with others that it is best to "kill them with kindness". That is a good way to get things that you want and in Jackie's situation he killed people with kindness by allowing them to do what they wanted. By being kind and keeping his head up eventually all things turned out right. You said, "it's all worth it in the end" and that is so true the end is what matters most.
ReplyDeleteJust like Casey, I also enjoyed the film. Casey made a good point to mention the ability of Jackie to kill with kindness, because Jackie was forced to act like that in the movie because he wasn't able to fight back. Additionally, I think the quote was true too because it does impact people's lives. And how casey agrees with how every person who does this can set a good example for other people to come.
