Megan Hetterick’s 42 movie summary. Jackie Robinson, 42, first black man to play on a team of all whites and make it to the world championship. He rocks.

That scene made me sad and disappointed in the father for setting such an example for his son and making him say something he was unsure of or however he felt about it. The look on the boys face when Robinson came out and everyone including his dad started yelling at him and saying those things, the boy looked a little scared or unsure and concerned about what to do and such. Broke my heart a little, but it was what it was. Overall, amazing movie!! For sure a favorite!Show MoreRelatedThe Discovery of a Time Capsule1640 Words   |  7 PagesAmerica supported birth control methodologies in 1960s.
