Comparison

The book and the movie are alike in many ways, but different in others. The same things would have to be, the team struggling with their grades, not knowing what it is like to be a team, and not having any disipline. They struggled with other things too. Every person on the team had different struggles in life. Cruz, for instance, was involved with drug dealing with his cousin Renny. Curz had worked really hard once to get back on the team and than walked away from them when the lockout started. One night he was dealing with his cousin Renny, and say Lyle, Worm, and Battle acrossed the street. He goes over to talk to them, and is going back over to Renny when he sees his cousin being shot. The others run after him. Cruz than goes to Carters house and asks to come back on the team and that he would do anything to get back on the team.
The differance there is, in the book, Cruz is already across the street when Renny gets shot, in the movie he is over talking to the guys and is walking back across to see Renny being shot.
The other differance is that when they got done with the school board meeting they did not go to the Hambagur barn and talk about what happened.
There are so much more that I could right about, but I dont want to give away the whole book. If you have not read or seen Coach Carter, it would be a good thing to do becuase this book will change the way you think about life. It will also change the way you feel about thoughs around you. To sit here and write a whole blog session about the book and the movie, I would be giving away alot. So I am just telling you some of them and what I think happened.
