Writing 1 and 2—February 18, 2016 Journal: What are the reasons that a Hollywood movie might exclude details from a “True Story”? When you find out that details are omitted from a “True Story,” how do you feel? Clemente/Robinson essay due now. Staple the essay to the top of the packet that had all of the questions and charts.

Discussion Questions 1. What does Branch Rickey tell his associates is his primary motivation for bringing a black player into the Brooklyn Dodgers organization? Throughout the film it becomes clear that Jackie Robinson means a great deal more to Rickey than he initially suggests - please describe some of the scenes that depict this. At the end of the film, Branch Rickey tells Robinson he’s able to love the game of baseball again - why do you think he says this? 2. Branch Rickey tells Jackie Robinson he’s looking for a player with the courage not to fight back if he is persecuted, insulted, abused, and hated by players, officials, and fans. How can having a “thick skin” can be an advantage in life? How might things have turned out differently if Jackie had given in and lost his temper on the field? 3. Success often results from adapting to change. How do the various players of the Brooklyn Dodgers and other members of the league adapt differently to the addition of Jackie Robinson to the team? What happens to those who don’t adapt? is a story of personal courage, of people with the guts to stand up against a situation that is both wrong and accepted by the masses. Do situations like this exist today? Do we all face these situations, even if on a smaller stage, in our own lives? Have you ever experienced one? What did you do? Was there something you’d do differently, if, like Branch Rickey, you had the chance to go back and right an old wrong? 5. Jackie Robinson tells Wendell Smith he doesn’t like, “needing anyone”. What does Smith say to Robinson that makes him realize their situations are not all that different and it’s probably ok to “need” the help of his friend? Do you think Jackie would have made it through the season if he hadn’t had the support of Wendell Smith, Branch Rickey, his wife, and eventually teammates like Pee Wee Reese? How can finding the right people to support us increase our ability to stand up for what we believe in? 6. Are Jackie’s teammates, who at first do nothing when Jackie is ridiculed on the field, as guilty as the people who yell racial slurs? When we pretend not to see bad behavior or injustice are we, in effect, saying it’s okay? 7. It was obviously hard to watch the scene in which the Phillies manager, Ben Chapman, yells racial slurs at Jackie Robinson on the field. What thoughts did you have during this scene? How did you feel when Jackie’s teammate came out of the dugout to stand up against the Phillies manager’s racism? How can being “under fire” sometimes propel us to heroism we didn’t know we were capable of? 8. After showing support for Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese receives a threatening letter, but when he takes the letter to Branch Rickey’s office, he soon learns that Jackie has received hundreds of mail threats. Can we ever really understand what another person may be enduring without walking in their shoes? How did you feel when Reese stood beside Jackie on the field as a demonstration of support? Why did he choose to do this? 9. Why is April 15, 1947 such a significant date? What does Major League Baseball do annually to recognize this historic day?
