Hello,
Could you help me please and proofread my text?
Thank you for your answers.
In English class, we watched a movie called « Men of Honor ».
It’s a movie inspired by the true story of Carl Brashear who was the first black American master diver in the USA.
At the beginning of story, the scene takes place in 1948, in his lifestyle in Kentucky with his father, a sharecropper.
Carle Brashear is determined to be the first black American diver, while it was time when the racism was very present.
Some years later, he decides to join the Navy to realize his dream and to overcome racism.
We can observe that the relationship between the father and his son is strong.
At the Bayonne N.J, in divers’ training camp, Carl isn’t very well integrated with the group, because of his origin. Unfortunately, his master chief and trainer Billy Sunday is aggressive, alcoholic and isn’t friendly with him. This isn’t easy for Carl because of Billy Sunday’s character which is opposed to the idea of a black Navy diver.
Billy Sunday wants to see that he fails and quits the Navy. Until one day, he will prove that he is strong, with lot of endurance and determination to win the respect of his fellow naval officers.
Carl meets a librarian, a good woman who tutors him in reading when he has trouble with written exams.
The other famous character is Mister Pappy, the commanding officer of the group. He has the same ideas that Master Billy Sunday but he respects persons who do and love doing something well.
In the ultimate test is an underwater assembling task where each student had to assemble a flange underwater using a bag of tools. The master chief Billy Sunday cuts the Carl’s bag, but Carl finishes the assembly and successfully completes the diving school, facing the admiration of his fellow divers.
The master chief is later demoted to senior chief by the commanding officer Mister Pappy and he is finally relegated to menial duties.
Thence, Carl rises quickly through the ranks and becomes a national hero. Later for recovering a missing bombs and for saving the life of navy crew in nuclear incident.
Carl loses his leg in this incident and sees his dream crumble. But with his perseverance and conviction, he returns to full active duty, to realize his dream: to be a diver.
