Response to "Freedom Writers"

Freshman Year (1994)

The first year of the freedom writers talks about the undeclared war and a lot of revenge. The undeclared war is a war between color and race. Kids from Long Beach, California have a lot of issues involving race. Blacks, Whites, Asians, and Hispanics can't get along with one another because thats what they grew up learning. What they start to realize with Ms. Gruwell teaching them, is that they actually could get along if it weren't for the race issues. Since there's different gangs and its absolutely forbidden to talk to an Asian if you're a Hispanic, kids get into fights all the time and if one of their friends dies the other members of the gang seek revenge even if it was their own fault.
