Practicing Incorporating a Quotation

I enjoyed the movie, Glory, very much and the movie review article captured all of the great things that I enjoyed about this movie.  This movie greatly captures the idea that so many strangers can come together as individuals to create and overcome a common obstacle. Kevin Levin, the movie review author, stated in his review, "The emphasis on a progressive story where the individual characters as well as the unit itself becomes more closely connected or identified with the national goal of emancipation and nationalism.". My quote references the way the African Americans came together as one unit to be emancipated and tear down the barriers in the way of their freedom. The African Americans were very powerful and tear jerking that I believed is shown in classes because of the powerful messages and historical details that are given and thrown at you in the movie. Robert Shaw learns to empathize with the African Americans while they learn to cope with being thrown straight into the war and the ways of living at war.
