The Racisme

The main theme throughout the Freedom Writers diary is racism.
We can read in this book some problems about it.
There are some celebrity who was fight it.
Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was living in the segregated South, she was arrested because she refused to move her seat for a white man.
Her bold action astonished many people, she opened the door for the most famous boycotts of our time introduced the struggle for civil right.

The Freedom Writers and their readings

1. Why did Ms Gruwell have the Freedom Writers study the Holocaust and meet Holocaust survivors?
Ms Gruwell had the Freedom Writers study the Holocaust, because they did'nt know what the Holocaust was. Their situation in the "hood" is similar to the Holocaust. Mrs Gruwell wants to show them that racism is very dangerous.

2. How did the Freedom Writers relate to Anne Frank? Give examples.
Anne Frank was a Jew, it was very hard to live during World War II and Holocaust. Miep Gies helped Anne Frank. The Freedom Writers had some problems and Ms Gruwell helped them as well.

3. In what way Zlata Filipovic impacted the students’ lives? Give examples from several writers. What really surprised the Freedom writers?
She wrote in her diary "Mimmy" about the horrors of war in Sarajevo, through which she was living. He lived the similar life to Anne Frank, some news agencies and media outlets labelled her the Anne Frank of Sarajevo.

4.In diary 47, the writer says: ”Now if you ask me what race I am, like Zlata, I’ll simply say, “I’m a human being.””How could you explain that quote? Do you relate to it?
I can see on the quote "Now if you ask me what race I am, like Zlata, I'll simply say, I'm a human being." that the Freedom writers change opinion of racism after meet her.
Everyboby is human!

My feelings about the school

MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE SCHOOLAt the beginning, I didn't like my classes because, there aren't my best friends, but in this classe, there are some very nice people. I get on well with some classmates, I always laugh with Christopher and Lucas in class, they are stupid. I make new friends and we sometimes go out for a meal.This semester is very difficult, I didn't know if I have good grades. I have difficulties in French, History and German, but English, P.E. and biology are easy.My English teacher is very cool, I understand her lesson and we watch some movies in classes, the movies are very interesting. I have too much homework, I haven't got mush free time... I want play on the computer, watch TV and play basket ball, but I haven't got the time.So, this year in school is very difficult but I need work very hard! in classes, the movies were very great. I have too much homework, I haven't free time... I want play computer, watch TV and play basket ball, but I haven't time.So, this year school is very difficult, but I need to work ever harder!
