He loved helping Ralph and his wish was to make this island like a home for the boys. The chief of the hunters was even afraid of killing a pig at first: "They knew very well why he hadn't: because of
Following Oscar Grant as he performed his daily routine made it very easy to sit back and pay attention to what was occurring and the inevitable that would happen in the end. Another good observation Turan makes is how the director was not afraid to portray the flawed parts of the main character. "As much as "Fruitvale Station" makes no attempt to hide these things, it is also insistent that they do not define the man"(Turan 2013).

He could have just given up on his writing career but he kept plugging away and was noticed by Walter Jekyll, an English buff who became McKay’s mentor and pushed him in the right direction (Giles). Through the love of the game, desire, dedication and just pure stubbornness to take no for an answer when the odds were against me, I was able to work my way on and redshirt with the team. The mentality of win or die trying is engraved in these men’s minds that are portrayed in “If we must die.” This same mentality saved me from being cut from the team. Being a non-recruit and from out of the area my chances were slim and each day was a new battle and proposed new challenges and new lessons learned. I quickly learned it was a battle field out there, each man fighting for himself to make a name and fighting to make the team better.
