music!

In our generation (people around twenty and under) the top two most listened to genres of music are electric and heavy metal/rock. Personally i like to listen to both or even a mixture between them two. Heavy metal or rock, are really nice to listen to and it takes a lot of talent and skill to go up on stage and rock like that for a few hours. And for electric, even though most of the time they are just using a keyboard, its usually calming to listen to and it can also be nice to listen to when you want to get pumped up for a game or sport. But there are only a few songs that i have listened to that have both of those genres mixed in with each other, and it sounded amazing because they are using heavy metal, and adding a bit of dubstep into it, not only are they atracting the electric fans, but they might even get fans from the heavy metal/rock too.

Remember the Titans

1. What were some of the challenges that the Titans faced as their coaches tried to make them into a team at the beginning of the movie? Their races have never been mixed so they weren’t working together and they were disrespecting each other. 

2. What did the coaches do that was helpful in shaping the players into a team? They jogged to the civil war field and the coach told the story about how the soldiers were fighting the same war as they are today.

3. What did the coaches do that was harmful to their goal? They didn’t allow any water breaks and they would do three day practices until the whole team got along and played together.

4. What did the players do that was harmful to teamwork? They only cared about each other and wouldn’t work as a team.

5. What did Julius Campbell (the leader of the black students, played by Wood Harris) mean when he told Gerry Bertier (the leader of the white students, played by Ryan Hurst) that “attitude reflects leadership?” He meant that the captain of the team needs to have a positive and helpful attitude so the team will be the same way.

6. How did this feedback impact their relationship and the team? Gerry listened to Julius and the team followed him, they got better as a team.

7. What was the turning point for the team? Why do you think so? The turning point was when Gerry changed his attitude and became friends with Julius and the whole team acted and played as a team.

8. What were some characteristics of the Titans when they became a high-performing team? Some characteristics of their team would be strong, and cooperative.

9. What challenges did the team face after they became a high-performing team? They had to face their school life and all of the people were mad at them for being friends and playing with the black people.

10. How did they respond to these? They dealt with it, and helped each other in the hallway if there was a problem.

11. What kinds of changes do individuals need to make in order to become part of a high-performing team? They would need to be cooperative and helping for their teammates and be aware of who your guarding or going against.

12. What do you think is the most important lesson that you can take away from this movie? The most important lesson I get from this movie is never judge someone before meeting them because all of the white and black people didn’t like each other until they won their first few football games and then people started to like each other.

13. What did Coach Boone expect from his players?  Is this a realistic expectation, why or why not? He expected them to be the best that they could be, and yes I believe that is a realistic expectation because he isn’t asking them to be the best players out there, he’s just asking them to try their best and not give up.
