Coach Carter

 “Coach Carter” is the nonfiction movie about one of Basketball team. This team was on the verge of collapse. But Coach Carter’s method changed player’s thinking and their life. And I answered 5 questions and stated my opinion as follows.
 
Q.1 How does Coach Carter accomplish positive change and how are how are his methods similar and/or different from Erin Gruwell's ( Freedom Writers ) methods. Give examples and details from the movie.

A.1 Compare Coach Carter’s method with Erin Gruwell’s method, I found similar point. It’s both give problem for players(students) and settled it. Player(students) thinking about problem and noticed their answer. For example, Coach Carter is gave hard practice for students and players noticed valuable of teammate, and Erin Gruwell is gave “Anne’s Diary” for student, and got hold various thinking. And Different point is Coach Carter has Sparta training. He gave heavy punishment if players late for practice. And Grin Gruwell is not Sparta training. She is gave top priority to student’s thinking things and helped it.

 Q.2 What were the main items of the contact? And why do you think Coach Carter had the players sign such a contact before they could play? Do you agree or disagree with this?

 A.2 Main items of contract is attend all of their classes and maintain a respectable grade point average. I think he wanted to keep the simple rules they have to follow. I agree with this. Because, Coach Carter wished every players go to university easily or more cheap money. So, he planned this rule.

3. When Coach Carter found out that over half of his team was failing he suspended all practice sessions and forfeited the followoing games.
 Q.3 Why do you think he did that? What does the expression, "student-athlete mean?" Do you agree or disagree with the meaning of this expression?

 A.3 Because, he wanted grow up study and basketball through contract. Coach Carter said “student” comes first. I think student’s main work is study. So, he said so that. And I agree with the meaning of this expression. Because, study is important for living and people judge a person from school background or achievements past. So he wanted grow up players to take player’s place in adult society.

4. At various times throughout the movie, Coach Carter asks Cruz, "what is your deepest fear young man?"

 Q.4 What do you think Coach Cater meant by that? How does Cruz answer Coach Carter and what do you think his answer means?

 A.4 I think Coach Carter wanted got noticed players, they can do it. Each player has each ability and if every ability made one, it is make the strongest power. Cruz answered “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”. His answer mean is players perseverance moving all around people for better or worse. Sometimes they makes all around people happy and sometimes makes discouraged. So they have to shine for other people and as they are liberated from their own fear, their presence automatically liberates others.

5. At the end of the movie during the locker room scene Coach Carter tells his team that he failed to meet his objectives for the basketball season.
 Q.5 What did he mean by that? Give specific examoles from the movie.

 A.5 Coach Carter came to coach basketball players, and they became students and he came to teach boys and they became men. What they achieved goes way beyond the win-loss column, or what’s gonna be written on the front page of the sports section tomorrow.They have achieved something that some people spend their whole lives trying to find. What you achieved is that ever-elusive victory within.
