American History X: Reward

One day, while having a shower, Derek is ambushed by the neo-Nazi group and they rape him roughly. He falls in pieces and shortly after he discovers he has been mistaken and he asks herself: does any of what I've done so far has been worth it? The answer is no.

Now imagine you are in a trouble such as Derek's. What will you do? Will you be sorry about your actions and start a new life? Will you go on with a neo-Nazi point of view? I suppose you will leave behind this point of view specially if your brother is in the same trouble, but now let's continue with the history.

After all this Derek goes out of prison but he has a new problem even worst: he must save his little brother from Cameron, but may be too late. Danny speedily realizes about his brother isn't the same and he is right. In fact, Derek works over Cameron in order to get him away from Danny and he also abandons everyone who is involved with Cameron's cause. When everything calms down and Danny is ready to listen to his brother, I say this because when Derek works out Cameron Danny gets extremely angry with him, Derek explains him absolutely all he has lived in prison and he also explains him they have been seeing things from the wrong border. Danny takes the new life offered by Derek and Vyniard's family is given a new opportunity.

However, not everything could be so nice and Danny is murdered by a black guy who had a row with him. ¿What's the moral of the story? Any idea? Any proposal?

If I had to give you an answer would be the next one: I could draw loads of conclusions, I could ask you to think about racism, I could do whatever, but I am going to say only one thing. Do good things and you will receive back good things, do bad things and you will achieve nothing.
