In Invictus, an example of reconciliation is when Nelson Mandela worked together with Francois. At the beginning of the move, the white and blacks were not friends at all they never talked and they judged each other by there skin. Also at the beginning, the white people had green grass, nice fences, and big buildings in the background. While the blacks space was dusty with dirt, and broken down fences.

The character that changed the most was Francois. It was because they played rugby with the black kids and it was really nice of them but if there was Nelson Mandela they probably would never do that because they thought they were way different. In the end, he hung out with everyone it didn’t matter what they look like.

At the beginning of the day, we all wrote down words and phrases that we thought of about Africa. A lot of it was about poverty, the animals, it is hot there, and it was poor. The first thing we talk about was it is hot there. Really we can’t just assume that it is hot there because there are desserts and savannahs. In the USA we have hot days and also deserts but we don’t say this is a hot country. We talked about animals, poverty, and other things but after that, I think that is when I learned a lot. We looked at 22 pictures and wrote down if we thought they were from Africa or not. That was hard to think about.
