Freedom writers' diary

I would like to invite Marthin Luter King or Malcolm X because they represent the

poursuit of happiness for black people and muslim people and they were killed for

their opinion, but their death changed the world.

If you read books about different people,you're going to understand them and why they understand you.
Anne Frank didn't live like their but her life was dangerous like the Freedom Writers'.

The danger of stereotype is to hate an ethnicity in particular.For exemple, people are afraid when they see 2 black guys at night because they think blacks are going to kill them.

I think that we can beak free from stereotypes when we are educated and if we keep a good spirit .I think it's important because if we don't there will be a lot of discrimination.

In this book(freedom writers diary),the students come from different ethnicities like black,asian,latinos(mexican),little bit white.

The "hood" is constituted of housing projects,it's far from the gated communities and school.It's very dangerous,there is racial tension,you can be threatened,jacked,jumped...

In the "hood",there are wars between different races.

The role the students' parents have is limited because they can't help their children ( they work a lot to make ends meet, the fathers have often left home), but I think they love them and sometimes the students don't have parents,like in diary 13.

The students' experience of Juvenile Hall is really bad, one of the student cried the first night,he was scared to be in jail because they are gangs in jail too.
