The book The Freedom Writers is about a teacher, Erin Gruwell, who confronted a room of "unteachable, at-risk" students. She and her students use the books Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Zlata's Diary: A Child's life in Sarajevo as guides to takle a life-changing, spirit- raising journey against intolerance and misunderstanding. By reading these books they were able to see the parallels that the main characters experienced and were able to conect their own lives to it, recording their thoughts and feelings in diaries and dubbing themselves the "Freedom Writers". I chose this book because I wanted to learn about children with problems and obsticals I would never even think about facing and I wanted to see how they over came those osticals.
i like the movie
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie and have always found the story so inspirational, it would be really interesting to hear, or in this case read, the story from the students' point of view
ReplyDeleteThe movie is very good and it is amazing the personal struggles Erin Gruwell put herself through to give those children an opertunity at a better life.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting, but i never saw the movie but i would like to.
