Freedom Writers: Review

Her name is Eva Benitez. She speaks average english but you will surely like her. Everytime she talks, you will probably listen attentively because the way she speaks is different. You can feel her with power, the emotion was there everytime she talks.

His name is Marcus. When you see him in the movie, he looks kind of badass and such, but as soon as Miss G transformed her, you can tell that he is one of the kindest person in the class. The way he speaks is like Eva's, he tells what he exactly feels and that's what made him powerful speaker.

Her name is Victoria. She's the new in the class but got along fast with others. I found her funny because she talks very fast when she's talking to herself and what she says is also funny. She is a powerful speaker because she uses her intelligence to express and persuade other people.

The teachers at their school just simply follow their curriculum by teaching grade school topics and stories which actually made their students to get bored. Every teacher follows that curriculum but this one teacher is exceptional.

Her name is Miss Gruwell aka Miss G. You will probably like the way she teach because it is very unorthodox. She does not simply teach academical lessons, but also moral lessons. She is more than willing to talk or counsel other people and she's comfortable to be with. Her students make diaries about their losses whenever they want to and she reads it then does something to make them feel better.

Miss G showed her power as a teacher by becoming a parent-teacher to her students. She risked her teaching career by exposing her students to real life situations. They've also read books like the Diary of Anne Frank. The students also watched some movies like Holocaust and met some significant people that developed their well being. She was so successful because she transformed an unruly class into a well organized class.

Miss G's students acquired some sense of power because of her. She made them realize that they all have powers, and they can use it for the greater good. One situation is when Eva spoke the truth on the court, knowing that by becoming a witness, she might actually get killed by the murderer. Another situation is when they badly wanted to meet Anne Frank. They've held fund raising activities like "Toast for Change."
