CRASH

STEP 1: WHY DO YOU THING CRASH IS THE TITLLE?

People bump into you.

In L.A., nobody touches you.  We're always behind this metal and glass.

I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just so that we can feel 

something.”

1.1.*Discuss the meaning of these words.

about other people because is a big city and the people knows about they problems and

they friends problams, no the problemos of all the city.

the other driver are.  What kind of problem do you perceive in the conversation you hear?

-       a racial issue

-       tension due to unsolved problems these two women had before

1.4.Graham goes to where his colleagues are working. 

 What have they found? 

 They found a shoe and a dead boddie 

How does Graham react to that?

 He dons't react but int he end he realise that he was his brother.
