Introduction to Piece Four

For the writer’s choice piece I chose our first times write. This short essay was based on the intermission unit we had. We were to watch Remember the Titans and at the end of the week we had a time write about the movie. In this short essay we were asked to write a thesis-driven discussion that demonstrates how the film defines what it is to be an outsider. I feel my short essay followed the prompt and is a great example of the progress I have made in my writing this quarter.” In one game Ray chose not to block for one of his own teammates. After the game one of the captains, Gerry, had to tell him to leave the team because of that decision he made in that play. At this point the team had really come together despite their differences. Ray was unwilling to accept the change that was occurring to the team, and for that he quickly became the outsider.” This was one of my paragraphs in my essay that demonstrates the prompt.
