Sugar
As we progress through the movie, Sugar, there's this reoccurring theme of the "The American Dream" in the film. Miguel is a baseball player from the Dominican Republic, heading to the US to play professional baseball for the Kansas City Knights. When he first came to America, he was loving it. He was amazed with the utilities in his hotel room. He was really excited to be in Kansas. We went and got beers and went out to eat. When Miguel and his teammates from the Dominican Republic went to a diner celebrate. One of Miguel's teammates knew how to speak fluent English so he understood the waitress and asked for French Toast. Miguel and the rest of his friends ordered the same thing because they did not know English. One day, the waitress was teaching Miguel English. She taught him the difference between scrambled, easy over, and sunny side up. She also gave him the plate of eggs for free. Miguel thanked her and she went off with a smile on her face. As time went on during Miguel's season, his skills as a pitcher weren't improving. One of his friends back from the D.R. made it to the Minor League. He was slowly taking over Miguel's spotlight as starting pitcher.
