I can relate to Hamilton’s story because in the life that we live in today, your life is what you make it. There is so many people in this world laying around saying “I wish I could’ve did this”, or “I wish I could’ve did that” and their life ends up going down the drain and its sad honestly. Hamilton is a well known important figure of his time because he provided change and he has the rags to riches type story that everyone finds so interesting. Personally, I have lot of respect for him on what I’ve learned and I couldn’t relate to a better story on how I want to be able to come up in my life as well. However, There are some things that I don’t agree with and some things I find quite ironic. For instance, I don’t feel as though the play should involve African American actors. I really don’t want to get too much in detail I just don’t agree with it. From a minority standpoint, it’s just not understandable but the play itself is rather interesting.
Although I gained the message of what the play gives off and also the way in which it’s presented, I don quite think I could use the “introduction to hip hop” word usage because its not hip hop. As I learned more and more information I shied away from that idea pretty fast. I’m eager to find out more things as class goes on. I have a pretty good idea of where I’m at in my knowledge of Hamilton, but I know there is a lot room for me to learn and improve upon. Hamilton so far is a great play and it can rub off on someone to want to make a change in their lives and I’m all for it. On the other hand the “hip hop” creation credit and black actors is a no go.
