Why is Jackie Robinson a "Hero"? By Bernice Chong (Examples are from the movie "42" (2013)

 In the film 42,  Jackie Robinson is a hero because he receives a notification. The second thing that Jackie Robinson did to become a hero was he succeeded in his goal. He succeeded in his task, by making goals for his baseball career. He also became a hero because he returns home as a winner to a celebration.



    The first reason is that Jackie Robinson became a hero is that he receives vocations. Like for example in the film 42, he received a vocation to try out for the “Brooklyn Dodgers.” It is very important for Jackie because he was the first African American man to try to do this kind of baseball thing.


   The second reason is that Jackie Robinson succeeded in his goal because he controlled his baseball team: “The Brooklyn Dodgers” to win. Another example from the film 42 is that Jackie Robinson broke down discrimination against white people and black people. This reason causes other African American players to join the MLB. 


   The third reason is that Jackie Robinson is that he returned home as a winner to a celebration. An example from the film 42 is Jackie was chosen to be part of the “Baseball Hall Of Fame.” Another example is his jersey number has the number “42” on it, and no one in baseball was NOT having this jersey number. The cause of this reason is that “Jackie Robinson” day was created because this is the day where Jackie remember in all of baseball, by the number “42” on his jersey. The last reason from the film 42 is the “Jackie Robinson Foundation”. The “Jackie Robinson Foundation” includes money to students from college/university. 


In my opinion, Jackie Robinson is considered to be a hero because he succeeded to become a famous baseball player and he overcame many obstacles.
