My personal response to the movie is that there should be more teachers like Mrs. Gruwell, with the determination and the will to teach no matter what the atmosphere of the classroom is or the attitude of the students. The teacher is the one that makes the difference in the classroom. I actually don’t relate to the movie but yes I have some friends that don’t take school seriously and think that the streets has them a better life.
In the movie I had three favorite characters, those where Mrs. Gruwell, Eva and the . I liked them because Mrs. Gruwell never gave up and even got divorced but never let down her students that really needed her. Eva changed her attitude from protecting her own to doing what is right no matter what. The choose to change his gang life in the streets to saying sorry and going back home with his mother.
Just like this kids made a really important transformation of their lifes, who don’t have nothing, they started having hope and realized that no matter how difficult life is there is always hope. The teachers can learn that no matter what is their situation in the classroom they are the ones that are capable of making a change. They just have to believe in themselves first and then do what ever it takes to make a difference.
Everybody should see this movie because it’s a movie that teaches a little bit of everything to all ages. From the students until the teachers a lesson its been sent by the drama of the story.

1. The movie for my went totally interesting, since for the ones that we are studying education is a clear form to give us account the problems that arise with our students in its newspaper to live and that many times we result to be its fatherly figure. As for the relation with some personage, I relate to the teacher since in a moment of its life abandonment all by being dedicated to the job, achieving so to lose its husband, I think that we should dedicate but time to the family that to the job and to the studies since always we will have to our family so to support us.
2. The teacher because was a woman persistent and not stopping in spite of that the people it put you join in the road and do not I import it the prejudices that they surrounded it. Had the bravery to fight for which belive.
3. The students and master can learn to do not have discrimination as soon as wing race, that every student by badly directed that this if considers some motivation splits of a teacher in this case, achieves to leave forward. As we saw in the movie that many of them arrived at the university and were persons of well.
4. If I create that the persons should see this movie since brings one cultural and social teaching that cover to the under world that is with what we face I gave us to I gave and we can think that to the this teacher we as society owe grab these actions to have less delinquency youthful in our streets.

My personal response to the movie is that it is a very true form of kids relating to it because in one point you have done or passed a similar situation as these students have encountered.
My favorite character was Eva because she had a no tolerance arritud and to survive the war we live in our streets, we must be tuff.
Students can learn from this movie, that it’s okay to trust others that are different from you, because you never know just how mush ya have in common.
Teachers should see this movie, because it gives them hope to know that with your effort, these kids may change and for the better. In other words never give up hopes.
People should see this movie, because it’s very interesting and it will touch you in a way that it’s indescribable.

My personal response to the movie is that it is an excellent and inspiring movie. The teacher is the character that I can relate to the most because I am a teacher and love my profession. I am not a teacher because of the money or the benefits. I care for children and believe in every one of them. I try to see the best out of each one and also try to teach them to face the world. Students can learn from this movie not to give up. Even if they do not have the support from their families, somewhere in their lives there ia a teacher or someone who cares and believes in them and are willing to push the limits with them.
Teachers can learn to never give up on our most failed students. No matter who they are or what their reputation is, we have the power to bring out the best of them by motivating them. We can find ways that they may learn and see beyond, to believe in themselves and lift their self esteem. I believe people should see this movie because it teaches us to expect more out of kids today and to give a chance, believe and help those who are in need. To go out of our way to help our youth who are lost in the streets or outcast by society.

My personal response to the movie is that it is an excellent movie. In this time we did not see teachers that were so interested in the student’s problems and that can give more that they have permitted to make a difference in them. That’s why in some way I feel related to Mrs. Gruwell, because i'm studying to become a social worker and I love to help others no matter what I have to do to make them feel supported. That’s why she’s my favorite character in the movie, because she never gives up making her students believe that the streets are not the solution and they have a way in school to make a difference.
The students that see this movie can realize that no matter what is their situation in life, theirs always a solution and that there were others in the same or worst situation that them. The teachers that see this movie can have an example of what is meant to be an excellent, dedicated and professional teacher. That is why everyone needs to see this movie, so they can learn that everyone can succeed in life and we can expect more of the kids of today and to give them a chance no matter if they were on the streets. This movie is full of emotions and I know that it’s gone to touch everyone.
I think personally that movie “Freedom Writer”, represents what a professional teacher should be. Not only did he teach a lesson, but was able to change the students ironic way of thinking. Mrs. Gruwell is a character that everyone who wants to be a teacher should imitate. To have a vocation of a teacher is not only to teach a class. You have the responsibility to prepare a student for his or her future. This person must have the ability to work with society. Utilizing this movie many students have had the opportunity to evaluate and reconsider what changes should take place to better themselves as human and students. In the other hand, as previously mention the teacher needs to consider any changes necessary to help the student transform in a positive way. Everyone should watch this movie, where you can see how many families have destroyed their children self-steem. It is the family responsibility to bring out in to society men and women with good qualities.

My opinion: Miguelina Pacheco Candelario.
I think that teachers like Mrs. Gruwell there are few, as are many who take their profession in a diploma and not in the heart. be mestros is not just a title is required to exercise ua true vocation. There are many who do not know about the lives of their students, it may not be interested to many and so judged by what they see without first knowing their students are human beings with thousands of problems and make many sacrifices to succeed. But there are other teachers who truly deserve this title.
My favorite:
In this movie my character is that of Eva, a girl who suffered a lot and although it was a rebel in the end the chosen path of justice, understood the pain of others no matter if it was white, black or Asian. had the courage to acknowledge his mistake that very few do so and decided to talk to a crime not go unpunished no matter that these were his friends once.
our students can learn not to judge a book by its cover. no matter who or where this is coming as responsible citizens we have a duty to help our fellow without looking at who. we all have some problems more than others but you must understand that we are not exempt from some day suffer. saying goes, "Anyone who does not live to serve no use to live."
Teachers will be able to see this movie understand that there are students who have real problems, many of these will affect who can not study and its mestros think that lack of interest without knowing that they suffer from a true hell on the inside. if more people show interest in this movie that can be identified with any character or have a clearer view that the job of a teacher is not easy, that there are many youths who need help and a lot of time. I always say if you do not stretch your hand to lift that is not to drop him put his foot to stumble.

The most interest character in the film was Mrs. Gruwell and how she handles different situations in the classroom. Also she helps those students to be good no matter the color, or the city of origin of other people. Eva was a student who was reveled and spending time learning that everyone had a problem and started to help the other fellow to life in the whole world has problems no matter which country we have to fight and continue forward to face any situation. For me, the student must learn that no matter the color or origin of other student, you must get along. Why not the color or that city to come the most important thing is to get along and do good to others. To me teacher had the courage to deal with each student who will take good. For me every teacher should be like Mrs. Gruwell. Starting to deal with each student and the situation of each one. I would recommend this film because is very interesting and will help you to be more tolerant with other people
By: Wanda E. Bonet
My opinion: Frances Hernández
When I saw the movie I was impress, because I can see the difference between the communities, how they fight each other to obtain power and to be faithful to their people. I identify because when we were young we do things to like other people. The character that I like the most was Mrs. Gruwell, because in every moment she demonstrates strength and love for her work. She was very consistent in helping her students. The students can learn from the movie to be tolerant with others and to respect the authorities. The teachers can learn how to be tolerant with there students and take their work seriously. I think people should see this movie because it will help them respect and give the best of you.

My opinion
The film works the history of a way in which if you are related to the personages, until sometimes you feel that you do lived part on that discriminate. On the other hand, the personage by whom he identifies to me was with the young person that I identify myself with the old one which he sheltered to Ana Frank at the moments of Jewish crisis. Since for, this lady I represent a heroin and an inspiration, to improve its life. That movie is too inspired and suppuration to the students. The professors can learn of this film that cannot be underestimated to/the young people by its place of origin. Also, they can learn never to occur by won in spite of all the slips that you can find. On the other hand, it can be sensitized to have but vocation and less profession, this is that they are identified but with/the students. I consider that if all the people must see this film, since it can serve as overcoming to other people in the same place. Also, I understand that they must see it to copy a little the conduct of the professor that I surpass to all the obstacles that I can.
My opinion is that the movie is very good and it really made me think. Ms. Gruwell is an example of a teacher and I am excited when students started to change that much to me as reality. I am acquainted with Ms.Gruwell, where a teacher look for alternatives not only to educate but also help them in the personal. Ms Gruwell is my favorite character., she faced the problems alone and with courage to help others. I learned to be patient and to achieve the goals although people leave me alone. Teachers can learn the techniques and teachings of Ms.Gruwell when there are teachers like her and not try to go find help. I recommend this movie because it inspires us to improve nustra quality of life and those of others.

My personal response is that it is a great movie, and it is a movie that every one can relate to.
It made me cry.
I relate to the character because, they are just kids that are coping what they are thought and following their family foot steps when it comes to trusting others.
I liked Eva because she was tuff and she was confused but in the end she did what she had to do.
Students can learn that you most do the right thing and keep your conches clean and don’t do what you think it may be wrong.
Teachers could learn not to judge students by their aritud, and try to find a way to talk and understand that student that may be screaming for help.
People should see this movie because you won’t regret it, it will make you laugh and cry, it’s a great movie.
Obviously it's a very touching movie, even if you are not a teacher, because you were once a student. I'd say it's an eye-opener, makes you think you are not the only person with problems. I regret to say I didn't relate personally with any character, but my favorite character would have to be Marcus he was one of the first to show respect to Mrs. Gruwell and whose life drastically changed. He lived in the streets when he first started in Mrs. Gruwell's class and Mrs. G gave him the will to change his life and move back in with his mom. He actually defended and understood Mrs. G's main idea with Anne Frank, he did it without any help. I think there's a clear message in this movie stating not to be quick at judging your enemy just because he's different, you might find out you have lots in common. I can just hope that lazy teachers around the US got the message, I hope they understood that no class is hopeless, the students go as far where the teacher is willing to lead them, don't just teach for the sake of the job, teach for the sake of passion and dedication with the knowledge of knowing that my actions as a teacher can dramatically affect my student's impact on the world, and can be greatly rewarding.

My personal response to the movie is good and strong, because in the live have situation positive and negative in the youth. My favorite character from the movie is Mrs. Gruwell because is strong and severe. The students learn from this movie is listen to a teacher. The teachers can learn from the movie is pay attention in the student. I am recommend this movies because it really impressive and good.
Johanna L. Soto
It was a very interesting movie even though it had a intense drama. I relate myself to the teacher Erin because she accepted the challenge of teaching the students and facing their situations and at the end she accomplished her objective. I am like Erin I like to face challenges. Eva is a young girl that has gone through tough situations in life. She is very resentful and has a strong characterization. The lection that the movie teaches us is it doesn’t matter what color you are, you race or where you come from, we are all the same and we shouldn’t discriminate anybody. We should always struggle to reach our goals. The movie teaches the teachers that sometimes at work you are going to find hard situations but you just have to take it as a challenge and make the best of it and keep moving on. Yes, I recommend it because you could see the problems that teenagers have and the positive changes that could occur if you put yourself to it.
My personal response the movie is very motivation. It show us have to persevere and keep on with life no matter how many problems we have. Mrs. Gruwelll show us in the movie that those who fight will be victories, and her student learn to make a difference and even throw has difficulties to keep on going with help they made it. I like the character of eva , because she was the one how shock me most, she can all identify are self in this movie. We all have difficult moment in our lives. Perseverant and then we feel good with our self and that help us keep going. The recomended, because it teacher us to further the goals.
1) I felt a little sad by the situations that passed the student s to and the suffering of each one of them to not to much age and the racism that habia and the separacion, although to the end allwas better.
2) I do not relate to none because in my life they have passed things but not as strong as the of them and if in algun moment had me to compare with some serious with Mrs.Gruwell by its valentia effort and never to give up.
3) Ido not relate to none because in my life they have passed things but not as strong as the of them and if in algun moment had me to compare with some serious with Mrs. Gruwell by its valentia effort and the never to give up.
4) The students learn to not be racistas to that all we are equals and not there are some better than other. The teachers can learnto fight and to seek solutions for us the students that problems or not we are servants as we should bit due to the situations.
5) I do not relate to none because in my life they have passed things but not as strong as the of them and if in algun moment had me to compare with Mrs. Gruwell by its valentia effort and the never to give up.

This movie is very interesting, because we could learn about other people how they live and understand their behavior. We can see how they little by little demonstrate their feelings. I didn`t relate with no characters but I got impressed how Eva at last helped her enemy and made justice. She had anger inside her, she hated white people because they think that they were better than black people. But her teacher was able to change their mind with other strategies and activities to attract their attention.
The students can about this movie that a teacher more than authority is friend. To be in a gang is bad it could you and your family and everything that surround you. The difference of white and black people is our color of skin but it doesn`t mean one is better than the other. We all are human being, we have to get on well to each other. You don`t know one day that person you treated bad could help you.
The teacher have to understand that all their student are different, that have different style of living. All educators has look different ways to attract their attention like Ms. Gruwell did.
I think that everyone could see this movie, you can learn to be a better person and not disregard some people because they have another style of living. Look for a way to help this people and be their friend they really need it.

My opinion
The movie was impressive. I identify with some of the characters. My favorite character was Mrs. Gruwel. She was a very perseverant teacher and a person who knows what she wants. If students see this film, they will learn that there are no excuses when you want to achieve something. They can also learn to respect people no matter whom they are or where they come from. If a teacher sees the movie they can learn that students are all different and come from different types of families. They can also learn that students have many other problems beside school. This a movie that I will recommend to everyone, especially to people who choose a profession related to students. The film will make you realize that teaching is not just a profession in witch you talk, give homework and grades. It takes allot more then that. It takes courage, responsibility and must of all commitment with the future of those in the class because they are the representation of our society.

Opinion from Freedom Writers
This movie seenied to me very interesting and impressive it shows you, how a teacher works with a certain a mount of students with social and emotional problems. I think that the girls with the curly hair. She showed that she had sociologic problem and she was also a rebel, and that she did not get a long with her class mats. Students can learn that if they have some kind of a problem. That there are people that can help them. Before they make some kind of mistake that they can regret for the rest of there life. I would recommend this movie. It shows you the social problem that our kids are going throw. And about the racism that we live day after day. And how we put up with it every day.
I like the movie because it shows the problems of life and it made me sad. The teacher I liked more and I felt related to her, was Ms.G. My favorite character was Eva because she had a bad life, but she learned how to grow in life. Yes, I will recommend the movie, so other people can see that other people have problems and are worst than others.

Eva was a young man who had spent many challenges in his life. She was a strong girl, have negative attitudes. At its heart had a lot of hate. He was involved in missteps and cared nothing. It was actually a girl of good feelings. The students learned to respect to others. Value more what God gives every day. They understood the importance of life, respect, honesty and love of life. They had the opportunity to see how the love and union changed the reason to life. The importance of family feeling. Gain experience making new friends to a different races and love them as a family. Mrs. Growell learned to serve students from his heart. To give the maximum as a teacher. Strive to observe positive progress in their students and fight for them to feel equal to others. Even though she had problems with her husband could face life positively and move on.
In the movie “Freedom Writers”, present many problem for the society. The drama is in a school. The school have many students for diverse group racially. They have problems for communication and relationship personality. The characters important in the movie was Erin. She was support, help and pilot for the students. Erin is the example for the teacher’s. She is dedicated and responsibility with the profession. I admire your attitude, she is brave. I think she do the excellent labor and give time extra for help the students. The student learned a fight for their dreams. They were competent and decided the change your life. The teenagers receive a help for the teachers. The students acquire new knowledge and conduct your life for good direction. She believed in the students. Erin learned with dedication and effort, success is achieved.
I like the attitude of the teacher Mrs. Growell because she is strong, fighter, intelligent, persistent and gets what she wants. She is able to reach a goal. She fight for change the style of live and the education of their students. She loses her marriage but archives her dreams. All made of heart. In this world it takes many teacher like her. They students learn lo sharing like family, have friends and learn to be good peoples. The students learned to express their feeling, they focused on their studies. The students obtained the opportunity to star again in the good road. There are many student in the world who have the desire but lack the motivation of the teachers. The teacher learn to fight for what she want.

I learned as a student there tolerance towards others. Be no discrimination between them. The film teachers should learn to be more tolerant,more communicate. Being able to trust and do see that they are important. My character was important Mrs. Gruwell. The interest of a teacher by a student to help a little difficult. Where his attitude led to them to have confidence in it. She made them feel like family. The teacher was pleased that he did something important for these young people and made them feel important.Awilda Millet Beniquez
My favorite was the teacher, because I saw her interest in the students. She helped them in many ways. She got an additional job to supply materials for students and made them better persons.
As students we can learn to not discriminate between ethnic groups, appreciate studies, love our family, and to respect other’s ideas.
Teachers can learn to not mix work with their personal lives, to never quit regardless of any hardships, always help students, teach unity and that everything is experience.
People should watch the movie because it shows a story of perseverance, compassion, kindness, dedication and effort.
