journal 12: Freedom Writers

Friday April 11

   Denis had us bring tears to our eyes in his class from the first period. It was because he showed the impressive film " Freedom Writers" produced in 2007 starring Hilary Swank, Scott Glenn, Imelda Staunton and Patrick Dempsey. The film is based on the book The Freedom Writers Diary by teacher Erin Gruwell who wrote the story based on Woodrow Wilson Classical High School in EastsideLong BeachCalifornia.
  
 It was so touching that almost all the classmates shed tears and several times had to wipe our eyes and nose with some tissues . At first, I was much stunned at finding out that the boys and girls in the region spent their daily lives in such a danger. Second I was deeply moved at  Erin's commitment.
This movie seems to teach that the first thing in education is to have a true relationship between the teacher and the students. Thank you for showing this movie, Denis!
