ABOUT THIS BOOK
Straight from the front line of urban America, the inspiring
story of one fiercely determined teacher and her remarkable students.
As
an idealistic twenty-three-year-old English teacher at Wilson High
School in Long beach, California, Erin Gruwell confronted a room of
“unteachable, at-risk” students. One day she intercepted a note with an
ugly racial caricature, and angrily declared that this was precisely
the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust—only to be met by
uncomprehending looks. So she and her students, using the treasured
books Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Zlata’s Diary: A Child’s Life in Sarajevo
as their guides, undertook a life-changing, eye-opening, spirit-raising
odyssey against intolerance and misunderstanding. They learned to see
the parallels in these books to their own lives, recording their
thoughts and feelings in diaries and dubbing themselves the “Freedom
Writers” in homage to the civil rights activists “The Freedom Riders.”
With
funds raised by a “Read-a-thon for Tolerance,” they arranged for Miep
Gies, the courageous Dutch woman who sheltered the Frank family, to
visit them in California, where she declared that Erin Gruwell’s
students were “the real heroes.” Their efforts have paid off
spectacularly, both in terms of recognition—appearances on “Prime Time
Live” and “All Things Considered,” coverage in People magazine,
a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley—and
educationally. All 150 Freedom Writers have graduated from high school
and are now attending college.
With powerful entries from the students’ own diaries and a narrative text by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary
is an uplifting, unforgettable example of how hard work, courage, and
the spirit of determination changed the lives of a teacher and her
students.
The authors’ proceeds from this book will be donated
to The Tolerance Education Foundation, an organization set up to pay
for the Freedom Writers’ college tuition. Erin Gruwell is now a
visiting professor at Cali.

这是影片的一小部分
很久都没有介绍电影了，这次想介绍一部励志电影，《街头日记》。
我蛮喜欢看电影的，有时候没事做就会扭开 HBO 频道，随便选一部戏来看。
不知道是不是我幸运，我常常都看到很多我觉得很好，我也很喜欢的励志电影，不过有些我连戏名都忘了呢！
这部电影是根据真人真事改编的。
一个教师用她独特的方式教导一群被别人放弃、歧视的学生，她教会他们如何尊重生命，要他们相信自己的命运是可以被改变的，差别只在于你有没有尝试。
她要求他们写周记，后来也要他们把这些周记制作成书，虽然她不知道这本书能不能出版，她告诉他们，就当是为自己而写的一本书。
她让他们阅读《安妮日记》，告诉他们，就算只是自己的故事，也有改变世界的能力。
“有些人活着，却已经死了'有些人死了，却依然活着。”
我忽然就想起了这句话。
我很敬佩这位老师，她对生命和生活必定是充满热诚的。
如今，有多少个人可以毫不心虚的告诉另外一个人：“你可以掌握自己的命运，你可以改变世界，只在于你有没有去做。”
生命充满无限可能。
我想也有些人对这部电影要传达的信息觉得不屑，因为他们根本不相信。
可是为什么不呢？我永远都会保持这种人生观的，我不觉得有什么不好。 ^^
乐观的人才会长命耶～
