Reaction Paper to Remember the Titans

(try to think beyond just the specifics of the movie and

discuss the larger issue of race relations)

 

10 points -

1-2 pages typed, double-spaced, & stapled

 

Address the following four issues in your reaction paper

 

1)     Compare the movie to the Robber’s Cave Study in terms of prejudice.

 

2)     How vital is a person like “Louie Lastik” (the big white offensive lineman who easily befriends his black teammates) to good interracial relations - would it have been different if a black player had tried to befriend white players from a predominantly white team?

 

3)     Does this movie imply that the only way for the races to get together is if their quest is successful? (Imagine what would have happened if the team had gone 3 - 10 instead of

13 - 0?)

 

4)     Finally, give me a thought-provoking concluding paragraph about racial relations here at Bridgewater.
