World War II

   I believe that the second world war was a very big mistake. When Hitler started he also wanted to rule, but mostly he wanted to kill the jewish people, and in my opinion that's a form of racism. Maybe the war could've been ended before Hitler killed so many jewish people and of course others. There are some people that are still marked by the things that lived during the World War 2, some of them have tattoos and in that way they are forced to look and remember everything that happened. There are some people that even though they can't forget what happened they are trying to not think about and go on with their lives, but those with a tattoo will think about the horrors that happened to them  everyday.
    I'm sure that after the second world war the jewish had some sort of scariness for a few years. Maybe some of them were afraid to admit that they are jewish, and they lived with a feeling that if they admit maybe they will get killed again. I'm sure that the scariness is gone in the present, because everybody accepts them, no one is mean or hatting their beliefs.

Freedom Writers

1. Why are the students so unwilling to associate with anyone outside their ethnic/racial groups? Where does this intolerance come from?
 I think the students are unwilling to associate with anyone outside their group because they are afraid that the person they are associated with can kill them. Maybe because of the fact that they can be killed everyday when they go outside the house has grown to some sort of paranoia inside them.

2. Why does Ms. Gruwell's students hate and resent her at first?
  I think it's because the students saw that Ms. Gruwell was white and maybe they thought that she will also disrespect them as all the other teachers do.

3. Miep Gies, the woman who hid Anne Frank, is a hero to Ms. Gruwell's students. What does Miep Giep mean when she tells Ms. Gruwell's students, ''You are heroes everyday.''?
  Each one of them can get killed every time they step out of the house. And still they go out every day to go school, maybe meet with some friends, etc. The fact that they can be killed doesn't bother them anymore and they go on with their lives like nothing will happen. The fact that they are not afraid anymore makes them heroes. That's what I think Miep Gies means.

4. Why is Eva so affected by the ending of Anne Frank's diary?
  I think she is so affected because she thinks that somehow she and Anne Frank have the same kind of life. And the ending got Eva thinking that maybe she will die like Anne Frank did in the end.

5. Do you think it's more important to ''protect your own'' or to do what's right?
  I think it's more important to do what's right, because it doesn't matter what the problem is, you can save a lot of lives if you do what's right. For example in the movie, if Eva hadn't told the truth Paco would have killed the black boy and maybe more.

6. Ms. Gruwell gives her students the opportunity to find success and graduate. Do you think the students continued along the path of success without the help of Ms. Gruwell by their side? Why or why not?
 I think the students continued along the path of success even without Ms. Gruwell, because they learned a lot from Ms. Gruwell and the things that they learned will help them later in their lives. The students had all the chances to succeed because of they learned.

Darkside

My book is about ghosts and stuff like that. There is a boy named Ricky that may be haunted, I don't know for sure, I didn't come so far. But there is another boy named Jonathan that may be haunted as well. Ricky is the kind of boy that doesn't like conversations so much, and Jonathan has quite the same character, only that he is not staying in school like Ricky, Jonathan likes to jump over some classes. The two boys may somehow have a connection.
 I think that next in the book the boys may turn out to have somehow of a connection. Maybe one of them will die.

And then while their kid is a teenager the parents can have a discussion about how bad doing drugs is and about smoking and all that kind of stuff. But the parent can also protect his child like when during a robbery if the kid is threatened the parent can save him by taking the bullet or something.

Three words

Love pop friends
The words that I find are not something I wish for.


All three them are important because if you have friends you will not be alone for the rest of your life, and if you have love maybe parent love or a girlfriend, etc, you know that someone cares about you. Pop is just the kind of music that I listen the most. I am quite happy with the words that I saw and I’m glad that I didn’t see dog.
