This is a class blog based on tv series such as LOST where students are asked to do some assignments based on the episodes watched and analysed in class. There is more to it than the eye meets.

"Freedom Writers"-Comment

I truely loved the movie... It makes me realise the way teachers can strongly interact in their students lives, I mean this honorable teacher could notice that those students couldn't learn anything because they were too worried trying to stay alive when they were out of school, on the streets or at home (if they had one). So the teacher managed to combine literature with human integration with a unique way and that plan turn out really good! All the races that were in the class turned into a really close family. By just one game ("the line game") she showed the students that they had a lot of things in common, apart from their origin and color skin. She risked her own personal life in order to make those hopeless students grow up with an excellent level of literature and with their own personal diary. She gave them hope, faith and the strong belief that, no matter what other people say or the obstacles they have to pass through, THEY STILL CAN DO IT! And that was exactly what they needed. She made them change their negative point of view to turn it into an optimistic one, into a hopeful belief that they can change the strong violence between races; they toasted for a change!
I think she's a heroin as all those kids are (like the old lady of the "Diary of Anne Frank" said). I admire the people that give so much and risk such a lot of things in order to make other people succeed, the kind of people that have such a tight commitment with their work and can make the world better by doing it with love, passion and hope.

FReedoM WriTers!


The film I saw a few days ago, introduced me into the real world of our society today. It caused in me a very deep impression about people of different cultures, colour and countries. they need to make GANGS to survive in the U.S.A.


The example given by the teacher Erin Grunwell is really fascinating, it shows us that if you really want something with all your heart and you really want to do that .. you CAN do it, you only have to trust in it and don´t give up at the first obstacle!...





This movie gives me a lot of Hope. People can change the WORLD if they want to!

We are all the same...! we are all humans and the colour of our skin, or the country we are from, or simply our origin is not a very good reason for violence and divisions in our society!


Well, I recommend you to watch this movie, 'cause it's really fantastic.


Bye
