Issue-Racism and Freedom

Recently I saw a great and meaningful movie about freedom and how a teacher dedicated herself to her students. The film is about students of 203 classroom, the average age of this students is 15~16. This teenagers including the Black, the White, the Latin, the Oriental and they all study at Wilson High School in Long Beach. The Long Beach high school and its area are the place of a gang war, where hatred and racism is abound.

Meanwhile, naive first-time teacher Erin Gruwell gets a job teaching English at Wilson High School. Her first day at school is a shock to her, as she sees a fight almost break out in her classroom and a full scale gang battle at the school. Her students do not obey her and continuously talk back to her. Gruwell intercepts a racist drawing of one of her students, and uses it to teach them about Holocaust . She gradually begins to earn their trust, and buys them composition books to record a diary, in which they talk about their experiences of being abused, seeing their friends die, and being evicted.She takes two part-time jobs to pay for more books and spends more time at school, to the disappointment of her husband.

You could not imagine when you walk in streets, someone of other race would shoot to you. Because we live in a such peaceful and safe country. These students go through many things of seeing their family die or being arrested by the White policemen. They gradually feel the world is unfair and they angry that nobody knows teenagers' situation. It is all caused by different races.The issue has been existed for a long time, but the problem of race is paid attention little by little nowadays. The teacher uses some similar situation stories to teach students. She took them the museum of Holocaust and bought books of Annie's diaries. She almost dedicated her time to students and no matter how difficult problems in front of her, she would try her best to help students. The movie is really great and there are issues that we should concern about.
