Freedom Writers (Movie) : The Meaning of Self-Success.

An idealistic twenty-three-year-old Erin Gruwell  takes on the world as she steps inside Wilson High School for her first day of teaching. Her class, a diverse group of racially charged teenagers from different walks of life, such as: African Americans, Latinos, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members, and underprivileged students from poor neighborhoods that hope for nothing more than to make it through the day. On the surface, the only thing they share is their hatred for each other and the understanding that they are simply being warehoused in the educational system until they are old enough to disappear. Despite her students' obstinate refusal to participate during class, Erin tries various means to engage them on a daily basis. But then ghetto reality steps in to focus the picture. A racially motivated gang shooting witnessed by a Latina gang member in Erin's class. That  sparks a transformation in the classroom, compel them to listen and force her to take off her idealistic blinders and take in the kids' survival stories of their undeclared war on the streets. Erin begins to connect with them. She brings in music from the "Hood", and literature from another kind of ghetto, "The Diary of Anne Frank", and with these simple tools she opens her students eyes to the experiences of those suffering intolerance throughout the world and the struggles of those outside their own communities. Knowing that every one of her students has a story to tell, Erin encourages them to keep a daily journal of their thoughts and experiences. After sharing their stories with one another, the students see their shared experience for the first time and open up to the idea that there are possibilities in life outside of making it to the age of eighteen.

     I would totally recommend this movie to anyone!  Is so soul refreshing! It teaches us human beings our weaknesses and how to surpass them.  The way in that describes our falls like victories, because when you get up, you do it, but in a stronger way than ever before.  Also, explains the way people stereotype this teenagers just by the way they look, dress and because of the places and conditions in that they live. This movie totally describes how this young society that has lived in deception, hatred and anger become a loving prospective group that learn to engage what comes at them and take the better of it, no matter how bad it looks.  In the situation of the teacher, she is was part of the society of " white people", but as soon as she accepted the challenge of teaching those kids and making them surpass themselves, she became to be rejected and not only by the teachers of the schools, but to by her husband.  He, that was the only person that gave her energy and the breath of going further on putted her away, but she doesnt' gives up and finds the energy and motivation upon herself, and her heart.  That's why I choose this movie.
