Green Street Hooligan Essay Example

realize you’re not made of glass, you don’t feel alive unless you’re pushing yourself as far as you can go. ” In this quote Matt is saying that even though he is living close to danger has he never felt safer, and I believe that the reason is because he is living rough, but he is still having his boys behind him and he knows that they would help him if he was in trouble.

Even though he had a tough period he have grown stronger and become more confident than he have ever been before. In the song the expression of the unity is shown. “One flesh, one breath, one life, one blood” This quote describes how close you really are. Even though they are having these fights and “wars”, where they fight to die for cause, they are having real dreams about a world with peace and with no war. They try to follow and learn from their “heroes”, which in this case is the Major.

In reality they are really ashamed of they are doing, and their fights are called “killing field, because when you are in a fight you actually kill more for the person than you really can imagine. Besides that the unity and the community is described as a really thick bond, where they got each other’s backs.

Bert Trautmann experienced an accident, where he

broke his neck in a soccer game. I believe it shows that you have to be thankful for what you got. Like Bert says, he was happy that he could just survive and that he could ever play soccer again. Besides that Bert has been to a war, but it is another war than the one the boys in the film are having. Bert has been fighting for his country in the second world war, and compared to Matt and Pete, who have been fighting for their reputation he have done a huge thing by fighting because it is for other people.

In the movie Matt says “Pete Dunham's life taught me there's a time to stand your ground, and his death taught me there's a time to walk away” which also shows that you should stop while the going is good and appreciate what you have achieved. There had to be a death before Matt could be grateful for what he had and before he realized that what he had got himself into wasn’t good for him. But it shows, just like Bert Trautmann’s story, that you should be grateful for what you have. It is too late to realize when it is gone.
