Tolerance and acceptance
In the book "The freedom writers" tolerance plays a role for de developing of the story. In the book we can see the differences between races, white people only talk with white people, black people with blacks people, etc. This show how intolerant are the freedom writers because they dont interact with people from different races. This intolerance causes all the crimes, the fights and the problems that the freedom writers have to deal with. Acceptance also plays an important role beacause the acceptance of a group or a gang is important for the characters. In the movie we could saw how some kids were pride when they tell them that they are criminals. This fight for acceptance causes the creation of big groups that fight against the other groups. This causes a tense situation for the characters for all this things and some more is why Ms. Gruwell want to help the freedom writers.

I agree with you. In the book, students discriminate each other and criticize other races. Ms.Gruell tells students the importance of tolerance and acceptance. Tolerance and acceptance are essential for a lot of kinds of people to live together. If we keep them in our mind, we can make better society.
ReplyDeleteI agree wit what you just commented tolerance is a very important topic in the book, and leads to all those violent actions the students have with each other, but its also important to mention that as time passes by, they become more tolerate people. They are talking a little bit to each other because of Ms Gruell's class. Every day they are understanding each other a little more, but in my opinion, the book they all read together helped them to understand each others problems and find out that they have many things in common.
