coach carter essay

The thing I liked about this movie was it was about reality. In this movie ken carter(Samuel Jackson)was the main character. He went to a high school in the ghetto and when he got older he coached their. His son Damien carter(Robert Ri'cahrd)went to the the best high school in the district.

When ken carter took the job at Richmond high school he realized that he had a lot of player messing up in school. His job was to coach but he wanted these kids to exceed out of the ghetto and go to collage. He did that by making the players study instead of play b-ball he made them study. Know body wanted him to close the gym but he did and people got mad because of it. But he didn't care what they thought and he continued what he did.

On the basket ball team their was a player named Junior Battle. He was a really good player and he was struggling in school and in his life. He had a girlfriend Kara(Ashanti) and they were in love and they were in love. She ended up getting pregnant and that almost caused him not to go to collage. He was smarter then the rest of the players because he wanted to further his education past high school but he didn’t have the resources to do it. Well at least until ken carter came and coached him through his basket ball high school career.

In this paragraph I will talk about team unity. After the lock out that coach carter organized ended he thought the players would give up on their studies and go back to messing up in school. But they didn’t give up on their studies and started to do better. Coach carter made his players realize how important school was and showed them that they could succeed in school. Also he showed the players that they are STUDENT affiliates and not affiliate students.

This is my conclusion and I feel that the movie was good but the message was even better. The message was stating that anyone can make it if the try. Weather the are black, white, or whatever they may be. All you have to do is apply your self and you can make changes in the world. That is why i feel that this was the best message ever put into a movie.
