What did I learn from the movie “Crash?” A lot. One lesson I learned is not to judge a book by its cover. For example‚ in the movie‚ Sandra Bullock’s character was afraid of and distrustful of her Latino locksmith because he was bald and had tattoos.

In reality‚ the locksmith was a peaceful‚ loving‚ kind‚ and gentle father and husband. I probably would be a little afraid of

Identify a character in the film that presented both their public and private self  I believe that Anthony is a character that showed both his public and private self throughout the film. He was very opinionated about not liking white people and he did not care about what people thought of it. Anthony was very proud to be an African American and it showed throughout the movie. You also got to see a softer side of him towards the end when he discovered the van full of foreign women and children

2.- Did you like the movie ? Why? Yes ‚ I liked it especially because of the unorthodox storyline and how it examines the racial tensions that are still alive today. The movie promotes racial awareness‚ but like any conversation about race‚ it demands close inspection.

A scene will switch to another only because the initial characters story line is intersecting with that of the

With this in mind‚ one can relate sociological concepts‚ such as racial groups and genders stratification‚ to the book “The Sneetches”. To begin with‚ “The Sneetches” can be incorporated with race. Throughout the entire story‚ one can distinguish the racist actions. For instance‚ Dr. Seuss states‚ “all the
