Document Summary
Amy"s story resonates with people struggling to survive in their everyday lives: it shows what is possible when one commits to. Similar to justin, everyone with injury resonates to him. a collective. Experience of life in eastwood. she is a community level activist, the audience are kids who feel trapped and abandoned. Strict ideological code between injury and moral failing. Pastor tim sees all poor black people are a blight. generalization does more bad than good, since solution is to remove these ppl. i. e. pastor jeffrey brown, boston. Not a question of medicine, church blames individual so faith is only solution. Amy blames herself but also place blame on context of social life she lived. Target audience for justin and amy is gangs. dance battles done to outperform other gang members. a way to work out gang rivalries without violence. Gang members and amy do not buy into church narrative.
