Opinion For The Movie ~Robynღ

I thought that the movie was heart-breaking.
It was so sad for the mother. If I was her I would've cried and cried.
When they showed the picture of what Emmitt Till looked like when he was dead it was horrifying,
the mom started explaining what the two white men had done.
They cut his head in half when he was dead, the shot him in the head, took both eyeballs out, cut off his tongue, and cut off his ears.
It was so gruesome. I felt so sorry for Emmitt's mom. The two white people were so mean.
I feel so sorry for what has happened to Emmitt.

What kind of man was Muhammad Bilal? ~Robynღ

I chose survivor because he managed to live on a slave ship for a long time.
The ship was full of bad smells, that would make you throw up, you would have people dieing around you, and the white people only fed you once a day and gave you water twice a day. Muhammad was a real survivor. I couldn't have survived that. It would be too smelly, and horrifying.

How did you feel when Lizzy ran away with Joshua and Lem? ~Robynღ

I felt scared for Lizzy because I didn't know what was going to happen to her.
But I also felt happy for Lizzy because she faced her fears and ran away. She was brave to run away.
I would've been scared running away because you never know what could happen to you and the people you're running away with. She had a lot of courage.

Do you think it was right for Emmitt Till's mother to have an open casket funeral? ~Robynღ

I thought the mother was right to have an open casket funeral because she was showing people what these white people had done, just because he whistled at the white woman.
It must've been heart-breaking to the mom because it was her dead son.
The mom, I think was really brave because it would've been hard to have an open casket funeral.
I would've said no. It would be too hard. I really like the mom for that. She was really brave.

How did Elijah become a man? ~Robynღ

I think that Elijah became a man by rescuing little David. I think that really made Elijah a man because that's a big thing to do. It must've been hard to rescue him.

Emmitt Louis Till Opinion ~Robynღ

Emmitt Louis Till's story was sad and terrifying.
I couldn't believe that only because he whistled to a white woman he got tortured and beaten to his death.
I felt so sorry for his mother because she must've loved him so much. I never would've had an open casket funeral, it would be to sad, to see your dead son's tortured body. But, I think the mom did the right thing to show all of the people who lined up what the two white people had done to a black boy.
He was only visiting relatives in Mississippi Delta. He was only fourteen years old, and the two men who tortured and murded him were in their twenty's. It was so unfair, people should have the same civil rights, no matter what.
I feel so sorry for Emmitt Louis Till, and his mother.
