Connection Assessment
I studied the following text Se7en by Anthony Bruno, Pana’s Choice by Mike White, Richie McCaw (Interviewed) by Jim Kayes and film The Band Of Brother by Tom Hanks. A connection between the text and the film was about Leadership.
In Se7en the main character in the text is Somerset who is an old man that has been working for 23 years of Homicide Detective and he was going to leave the city because he is tired of doing his work. But as we go through the novel Somerset start to visualise how he can help and teach others the right way. Somerset start to pick up many of the leadership qualities as he has spent the last 7 days doing his investigation on the seven victims. At the beginning of the story Somerset is a person that feels like it was just caring for his job and life. Also living a hard, horrible life in a banged up city that is filled with people that like to live a life with crimes for fun. Somerset has a lot of experienced as a homicide detective what a leader is like. As we go through the story Somerset started to change to a positive way for being a leader and in the end of the story Somerset decide to stay in the city, so that he could help other and solve case4. “After 23 years as a homicide detective” 23 years that Somerset had worked as a homicide detective, he had seen humanity at its very worst” which made him disillusioned. He wanted to move and leave the city all the time. When Somerset meet David Mills, he started showing him hi leadership as to guide him the right way and prepares him for anything will happen in the futures. “Somerset thought Mills needed some help. Just to show him the right direction.” Somerset wanted to know what had happened but Mills was too angry to talk… He was going to do something stupid, Somerset knew it.” Somerset knows what’s going on, even when Mills doesn’t talk about it. At last “I’ve changed my mind, I don’t want to retire”- Somerset . Somerset don’t want to retire because “He know he could never leave now. With Mills done, Somerset had to stay and fight the flight.”
In Pana’s Choice the main character in the text is Gilbert who is a leader for Pana because he has a similar experience tough family and dropping out. Gilbert has many year working as a drama teacher the helps lead those who want to take acting or any communication careers in the future, so Gilbert also has experience. This is similar to the main character in Se7en Somerset because due to many years of experience (which is a quality for a leader) and lead them to do the right things.” Everyone remembers a teacher who inspired them and I want to be that person for young people”- Gilbert. Gilbert and Somerset has the similar that wants to teach the young people the right way or direction. “I’m not his guardian angel”- Gilbert. Gilbert can’t always be around to help Pana to guard him the right way, just like Somerset can’t always help and solve problem for Mills. Gilbert is just like Pana got into trouble at school “He got in with the wrong crowd got into a whole lot of trouble and was suspended from college for smoking and wagging.” Another similarity that Somerset has tried to lead Mills and Gilbert was trying to help Pana. Somerset tried to lead Mills to the direction “Somerset thought Mills needed help. Just to show him the right direction. I could have easily gone down a completely different road. So I just want to show him the possibilities that are there.”- Gilbert. These quotes show that Somerset and Gilbert want to show them the right way and leadership.
In the text The Band Of Brother, the main character LT Winters. LT Winters at the end of the big shooting scene, he goes to Paris to relieve his stress and have a vacation but he could not rid of the image of killing all those men especially killing the soldiers that looked very young so he became disillusioned. LT Winters risks himself to save his soldiers that were injured because he does not want to leave any men/ soldiers behind. LT Winters makes sacrifices is “Get Boyle, he’s down, come on help me.” He risks his own life to save someone/ one of his soldier which show how a great leader should be. This shown that he is caring for his soldier rather than himself. In the scene of Band of Brother the troops are suiting up for their fight but the troops also few problems when Lieutenant Dyke panics about their CO being absent, but as a result LT Winters forces on LT. Dykes men are ready and to get them prepared this show a great leadership skills from LT Winters of remaining clam so that he does not scare others soldier before going into the fight. A connection between Richie McCaw and LT Winters were their personalities. This was shown by that they always think about what is great for the team then themselves. Richie McCaw “When you become a captain it’s not only about you, it’s about the whole team.” This shows that Richie McCaw is compassionate player. Also LT Winters “Never thought of sending anyone in his life before other.”
Another connection between LT Winters and Richie McCaw is their experience. This way shown by learning everything fast and following instruction of others. Also being clam and working through challenges. Richie McCaw “You’ve got to learn pretty quickly”. You have to learn to deal with pressure, understanding and a skilled communicator on the other hand LT Winters has been in the army for only 2/3 months. He is an experience soldiers and a person that can read the battlefields. “The enemy can outflank us as soon as they realise that.”
This shows me that they are both compassionate and experienced person. This shows me how a great leader should be and also I can teach my sister or guide them the right way.
