The FreedomWriters Diary is a great non-fiction/memoir book. The authors are the Freedom
Writers, and their teacher Mrs. Gruwell. It is in letter format, and it has
entries from the freedom writers throughout their high school career.
Everything
they say, and you read truly happened. Their friends get killed, their family
went to jail. A lot of terrible things happened in their lives. Their teacher Mrs.
Gruwell, or Erin Gruwell, helped the students push through their tough times,
and Preserver. She helps the freedom writers find ways to take out the anger.
Mainly, through writing. The students come love, and respect, worship, and love
their English teacher. She is probably the most loved person. That’s because
most of the students have been abandoned by their parents.
She helps
them learn by bringing in guest speakers, and taking them on field trips. Some
of the guest Speakers are Zlata Filipovic, the author of the diary of Zlata
Filipkov, and Meip. Who is the lady who hid Anne Frank, her family, and the
family of Anne’s father’s friend. The field trip is Washington D.C. She also
takes them to a holocaust museum so they can learn what the holocaust was, and
why it is a very important piece of history.
Mrs. Gruwell
was a great influence on the freedom writers. I would say that this book for
people who like writing. The book tells a true story of the life of Teenages
that live in “the Hood”. People who like to read true stories, or people who
like books in letter format. I think this was a great, inspirational book.
Definetly a great read!
Book Review by Isaac G.
I agree with Isaac when he says that this is a good and a good book. The Freedom Writers has so much reality to it and so many real life situations it's not just a plot with made up people it's actual people with an actual struggle, this is why I fell Freedom Writers is a great read.
