Do The Right Thing Compare and Contrast Response

The similarity between the movie Do the Right Thing and How Bigger was born were that both had the same concept of identity and the importance of who you were within a society.  In the text How Bigger Was Born, Wright illustrates the concept of identity and how a person needs to be who they are and try to excel themselves the most that they can in society.  "Taking life into his own hands, accepting what life had made him" (pg, 461).  This last part of the Novel helped identify the importance of trying to make the best of what you have and be yourself in doing that.  And this last part also showed the true meaning of individualism by being who you are and doing the things that are really you.  Also, in the movie Do the Right Thing, the director Spike Lee also brought identity within his movie by having a variety of different races all live under the same roof.  He also magnified the importance of accepting who you are and to try to live life at your best.  One of the main characters named  Sal demonstrated this concept by owning a restaurant in a different racial community than his, he accepted himself as who he was, and realized his own limits and boundries towards his type of sucess and location of himself owning a pizza resetaurant.  This individualism was expressed in the movie by Sal which gave him  confidence and sucess with his restaurant that for awhile helped him flourish within a different atmosphere than his.  As a conclusion, this core idea all ties into the main idea of having individualism because there can't be individualism whithin a society without the people themselves of accepting of who they are and to make themselves the best that they can be.
         I think that the Movie Do The Right Thing was good because it really deveoped one core idea about inequality and the affects that it can portray within a society.  In the movie, there was alot of different groups of people that all lived in the same area.  There was inequality present when the police choked a black boy to death.  This movie showed that it was the power and danger of inequality that caused all of the destruction whithin the town just because of different view points and likings others had.  I liked this movie because it showed the consequences of having inequality within the society and as a conclusion why a society should have integration so that there could be less violence and more peace. 

The Promise Land Document 3

In the Promise Land Document 3, Senator Robert Kennedy talked about how our country should end violence and attain more peace.  Roberty Kennedy adressed the importance of unifying our country together instead of dividing it.  He also stated that most black and white people wanted to be integrated and joined together for the most part and that there is hope for our future.  This statment was important by Roberty Kennedy because he adressed the importance of perserverence and for our country to keep on fighting for what they believe in order to achieve their belief.  This document composed by Robert Kennedy was mainly to try to unify our whole coutry together by stating of all the blacks to not be tempted to consider using violence.  That decision will not only hurt you, but it will affect the whole country.  And Robert Kennedy adressed to the white people to help guide them along and fight along side with them with support.  If we do this, this will direct our country into the right direction and will lead everyone in our country to the persuit of happiness.  He is saying that this as a result will make our country stronger.
connection question 4:
What are the difficulties that movements face with the death of a charismatic leader?
   The difficulties that movements face with the death of a charistmatic leader is that people don't know what direction to go to next.  People won't have that great leader to help guide them into the right direction and keep them strong.  Also, charistmatic leaders bring hope and confidence to their people.  When a great leader leaves his people, people then will lose their hope and confidence and will have a hard time rebuilding it. It's can be sometimes difficult to move on from the past.  Once a memory is with you, it can last forever.  The hardest part of that memory is to move on from it and recooperate from it and become stronger again.  Other difficulties that movements face are that they will feel compelled to have revenge on death of their charistmatic leader in order to feel better again.  But using violence like Roberty Kennedy said is not the right answer and will not only hurt yourself but others around you.  People need to stay strong and keep on fighting peacefully in order to overcome their conflictions and grow stronger from them.  But this is a hard concept to understand and grasp which is why there is great difficulty when people or movements  come face to face with death of someone that they once loved.
