Her class of interracial students are deemed incapable of learning. Instead of giving up, she inspires her students to take an interest in their learning and in their future. Freedom writers is about a group of high school kids who attend a class with a teacher who is teaching her first class of english.
This individuals are somewhat of trouble makers, they are all gang affiliated, they all are different. All the students are brought up to stand and protect their own. The movie was directed by Richard LaGravenese and it was released in This movie discusses significant themes such as stereotyping and racial discrimination but most important the power of tolerance and understanding.
The purpose of this movie is to promote the message that knowledge is power and in a world filled with disparities where hundreds of ethnic groups convey and interact humans are obliged. Dreams are like storytelling because of freedom, creativity, adventure, and fear.
While there are many similarities through dreams and storytelling there are differences. A difference being dreams can kill creativity by not being an original thought. Instead of thinking repeatedly and trying to develop fresh new ideas, the mind is doing all the work when resting. I like to believe that I'm the only person who can control my life -- of course there's the butterfly effect and then there is the case where someone else's actions can affect what happens to you, but they are usually single events, and most times, one can always decide one's reactions to such events.
Would you rather wallow in depression because you are going through a life-changing mess or would you rather change the way you respond to that mess? The Freedom Writers' Diary is the strongest proof I've seen about how you can make a difference to your life and to those around you.
All the kids in Erin Gruwell's class have already been written off as failures, by other teachers, other students, and even their own parents. Worse, none of the kids could identify with Erin -- a white woman staying in a safe suburban residence, with no teaching experience and who had no idea of life in the violent gang-controlled streets of LA.
Since even their previous teachers had given up on them, they gave Erin just a month before they believed she would move on. The following odd pages of this book shows so well how every single student has been transformed by Erin's teaching methods, the students' life experiences, their choices and willingness to perhaps hope that maybe they'll come through it all fine. So many stories in the book are moving.
Then the girl who had a really wonderful family life at one point and within a few years, the mother left, the father remarried to a woman she and her siblings couldn't adjust to; soon they moved to an aunt's place who loved her a lot until her lover returned from the jail and the kids were back to square one -- homeless and family-less.
There's the boy whose family doesn't have a home to stay in because they are so poor. There's the girl whose parents stole her stuff so that they can fund their drug addiction. There's also the girl who had to bring herself up because her mother was tired of being a mother. There's the boy whose father doesn't think his son will succeed and offers no hope or encouragement. So many of the diary entries make you really sad, but by the end of each entry, I still smiled because the kids weren't writing with despair, they were writing with hope.
They made promises to themselves and expressed their gratitude that they at least still had the Freedom Writers. Erin Gruwell and her class were a symbol of hope for all these kids. It's beautiful reading about how these kids change and how they do and wish good for others too.
Their hostility is very evident in the initial diary entries, but as I read, I could vividly see the changes happening. It's also a reminder that just because a kid walks around with a gun or a knife, it doesn't mean that they are bad. It means they need help and there are no adults offering them that. I've never had a teacher like Erin Gruwell, but then I've never been in a challenged class like Erin's. Still, every school needs someone like her -- if not to help those 'written-off' kids, then to at least empathize with the kids in their class.
All kids have problems -- maybe not as tragic as the circumstances of the kids in this book, but certainly important problems that can have far-reaching consequences later on in life. If four years ago someone would have told me that Ms. G was going to last more than a month, I would have laughed straight in their face.
She wasn't supposed to make it, we weren't supposed to make it. But look at us now, the sure-to-drop-out kids are sure to reach higher education. Proctor, she claims that she wanted to kill her.

Elaborate and give examples. You walk out of the movie theater frustrated that the film did not feature an important scene that made a difference to the entire plot that was in the book. Most books that are turned into movies do not adapt the entire text to film.
Books are better than movies since books fuel imagination while the time spent reading connects you to the characters compared to movies where details, scenes or events are lost. What makes for a good read; what really pulled you in? To demonstrate one day Marie and her mother went shopping to buy her new bedspreads because they took her old one for evidence, Marie decided to pick out the same exact bedspread that she had when she was sexually assaulted.
Following, her decisions, thus made her mother very skeptical about if she got raped because nothing seems to change with her behavior. Besides Marie is doing what she did before she got raped when her mother questioned her about getting the same bed spread this made Marie anger. A long with these world-wide assessments Amy has applied some of her own into her classroom. Amy then explained that she differentiates literacy in her classroom by an instruction called DAILY 5.
This instruction is where the students read to themselves, read to someone else, work on words, writing, and listen to reading. Essentially, a third party is what caused their conflict to rupture, but also allowed it to be terminated.
