Elyjah Williams Erin Brockovich

                                                                                       

1. Erin's aggressive pursuit comes straight from the fact that she's a single mother who is struggling to support her family. She loves her family and she's very determined to go and get what she needs in order to provide for her family fully. Since she is so aggressive her balance of right and wrong loses its way from time to time, but that's because she has a plan in mind and nothing was going to stop her. She's a very pushy person, I think this comes from who she is and the way she was raised rather than her trying to support and look out for her family.

2. At the beginning I really didn't like him at all because you can see at the beginning of the film he didn't care about her case because he didn't even know her name, or warn her what the other judge might try to do even though he knew what was happening. If they had more money then he would have tried ten times harder to help them out and when the case rather than just go through the motions and take a chance. I think that the attorneys should do everything they can to try and win the trail. If they have to show more effort and work harder to do so then that's what needs to be done.

3. Erin's work ethic is unmatched. She's so serious about what she's doing that she missed her baby's first words. She has worked herself into sickness because all she does is work and it has made her so stressed out. I think that Erin is trying to prove herself to Ed and everyone that she's not a worthless lazy person, she can really handle big jobs and finish what she starts. I think that she knows that she's just a temporary employee but she doesn't care. However, she definitely thinks of herself than more than an assistant but that comes from how much she cares about the clients not Ed. Since she cares about the people more the drive influences her job to finish the case and win it.

4. I completely agree with Erin's perspective because these people that are her clients have major disabilities caused from that drinking water. Some of the clients have their genitals destroyed, others have their spines disintegrate, and have cancer. There's no small amount of money that's going to fix this problem for over 400 people. The fact that the offer was so low in the first place is very aggravating and disgusting.
