The movie Remember the Titans is a great story that follows the plot diagram wonderfully. It teaches you about race discrimination, and team work. The story takes place when segregation began. It’s about high schools that are segregated together, and the struggle that the town and football team go through because of the segregation.
In the beginning of the story they follow the plot diagram wonderfully by introducing the setting and main characters. One of the first main characters Coach Yoast is introduced in the beginning. He was a great football coach and had won many games, However when the schools where put together it was announced that the coach from the black school would be head coach. Coach Boone the black coach was a great man but many of the white people first highly doubted him.
A rising action towards the beginning of the story is when Yoast was offered many jobs from other top schools but stayed for the players. The players said they would leave if they didn’t have their coach. By far one of the greatest rising actions in the story was training camp. All the players black and white had to go to camp together for two weeks. At first the students rebelled and they even sat on different buses to go to camp. That is they did until Boone told them to do otherwise.
A main climax in the movie was the graveyard scene while they were in training camp. This was when the team really started to come together and be one. Instead of white players and black players they were now a team. Some of the players of different colors even started to become best friends. By far the greatest climax in the movie was the big game; there was a lot of tension because of the segregated team. Of course the Titans came out on top and won. However after the game Gerry was in an automobile accident, which once again grabbed the audience’s attention and made us wonder how they would now win the state game.
In the end Gerry is paralyzed from the waist down but is still able to see his team win and become state champions. Even though no one thought things would work out in the beginning everything turned out to work for the town. They resolved everything wonderfully by showing how the players became a team and by telling us about what happened to all of them later on in life.
