Annelies Marie Frank, author of The Diary of a Young Girl, focuses mainly on the idea of loneliness of adolescence. This book was originally written as a diary then later published by Frank’s father, Otto Frank, to fulfill his daughter’s wish after she passed away. Because this book was written in first person point of view and falls under the non-fiction category, I believe that the strongest things about this book is that it is able to leave an impact to the society as well as a dark past that

In the book, The Freedom Writers Diary, some things were not added into the movie. They changed the perspective, so instead of the students telling the story and the teacher secondary, like in the book, the teacher (Ms. Gruwell) tells the story, and the students are secondary. Also, the entries are worse and more horrifying than in the movie, like abuse, drugs, peer pressure, illness, and violence. I think that these changes, in the book version to the movie version, were to have a 3rd person

The Freedom Writers Diary is a book that I truly enjoyed. It is a book broken down in diary form viewing the survival of a first year teacher and her students. This book shines light on real issues that these students as well as their teacher went through. These issues range from racism, death, and gang related violence. Although the only person that is named throughout the entire book is Ms. Gruwell, one can still identify and keep track of the situations that occur. Diary number two, by far was

protagonist, Doggie, woke up in a bush. It was the tenth time it had happened. Feeling overwhelmingly frustrated, Doggie attacked a butterknife, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). Without warning, he realized that his beloved diary was missing! Immediately he called his best friend, Catman. Doggie had known Catman for (plus or minus) 200,000 years, the majority of which were sassy ones. Catman was unique. He was ingenious though sometimes a little... dimwitted. Doggie called

REACTION PAPER “FREEDOM WRITERS” By: Racel Emmanuelle R. Mendoza There is an obvious discrimination shown in the movie “Freedom Writers”, where everybody hates everybody and they got no choice but to live in a world full of pandemonium. Random cultural implications are shown in the movie. Where one has to accept his/her society since birth, or someone has to really join a gang to keep up and belong to a hood. In the case of the students in the movie, they are just simply hopeless and what they
