Do the Right Thing

I feel that do the right thing could be related to a real world example to people who live in Edina, yes I know that this sounds kind of weird but I feel that it is kind of true many people hate the kids and anyone who lives in Edina and they do it just because of where we live. Some examples are; if I am at the airport wearing an Edina sweatshirt there is always someone who will yell out “cake eater” an sometimes its funny and ill turn to who ever I am with and say “yeah I do like cake” and then there are sometimes where is just gets plain old and I wish people would just stop saying it. I feel that just because I live and go to school in Edina does not give people the right to say mean things to me or anyone else who lives in Edina. This is like when any colored person would be back talked or in the movie when they colored people would yell at the Japanese people and make fun of them for moving here and that they do not belong here.


Another example is when I was dating someone who went to a different school, we had been dating for quiet awhile and many of his friends would ask him are you still dating that spoiled rich girl from Edina, and some of the people who would ask them that didn’t even know me or even my name. It would drive me crazy having him tell me this, they had no right to say anything like that about me because they didn’t even know who I was. I feel that this is like when Sal’s sons would say so many wrong things about the colored people that lived in the area of where his store was. And most of the time they didn’t know the exact person who they were talking about just the colored people in general.

Battle

What I chose to read was the Washington Post article by Ann Hornaday who is on the Washington Post staff. This was different then what I thought it would be. I was thinking that it would be more like critics saying bad things about the movie and maybe mentioning some good parts to it but that is not what they did at all. What I thought was cool is they did some kind of interview where they would ask a question and in some kind of way they would answer it.

Some things that I did not agree with were; the parts where they said that the movie did not have any heroes I felt that each person was their own hero in their own way, another was where is said the French had their own moral backing and could go back and forth, I felt that it was true because it seemed like the French really did that it seemed like if something failed for them they would find a different was to get back at the Arab.

One of my favorite things about this review is the fact that Mrs. Hornaday she made the violence in the movie relate to the violence that we are experiencing right now with the war that we have put out selves into.
