!! SPOILER ALERT !! The following questions contain spoilers of the film. You are advised to read them after you have finished the film so as not to spoil the ending. If you’ve already seen it…go on right ahead and read them. Choose at least TWO of the following questions to answer. In your responses, make sure you number your answer to correspond to the question number you are addressing. (They are worth 10 points each)  Similar to the Concept Section above, you can answer additional questions for extra credit. Specifically, you can answer ONE additional question from this section for half credit (up to 5 points total extra credit). Your grade will not lower for this answer if they are not answered perfectly; it can only stay the same or improve. However, you MUST indicate which question you want to count for extra credit. 8. At the end of the final battle between T’Challa and Killmonger while they are still in the vibranium mine, Killmonger says tearfully, “My pop said Wakanda is the most beautiful thing he ever seen. He promised he was going to show it to me one day. You believe that? Kid from Oakland running around believing in fairy tales.” How does this relate to life chances and racial stratification in the US? [For context: Oakland, CA is a less affluent area with many people of color living there] 9. After the final battle between T’Challa and Killmonger–after T’Challa offers to save his life and Killmonger assumes that means in a Wakandan jail–Killmonger says “Bury me in the ocean, with my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.” Explain this powerful moment and how it relates to what we’ve discussed in the class. 10. In King T’Challa’s speech to the United Nations [this is from the mid-credits scene], he appeals to the various nations to come together as one. Discuss his speech and how it applies to current times and the US’s political and racial reality.
