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.
