"42" by Jillian N

42 is a movie about Jackie Robinson, the first ever colored baseball player.  It goes in depth about his struggles and how he delt with the rascism and discriminative behavior he has to endure from his team mates, competition teams, and even the crowd. What is discrimination? Discrimination is picking on or making fun of someone because they are different. It is not allowing them to do certain things or go certain places. Discrimination and rascism aren't as common today as they were many years ago. Of course rascism still exists we just don't see it as much. The most common form of discrimination is towards colored people.  It exists with every other race as well.  How would they have felt to be discriminated against? Well discrimination would be very hurtful, it would cause their lives to be a lot harder, having to deal with people not accepting you, everywhere you go.  Insight of my reading and viewing, I can see just how much Jackie wanted to give up, but at the same time he knew he couldn't because he loved baseball, it was his passion and nothing was going to stop him from playing.  He was strong and never stooped to the others levels. He knew things would get better so he just kept moving forward and yes rascism and discrimination still exist everywhere but if more people take a stand and fight against it maybe it could eventually be a thing if the past.
