How do the classmates learn to trust one another? How does reading and writing initiate this change?
- When they realize that they have so much common and when they do the excercise with the line on the floor. When they wrote down about their own lives maybe it felt better and when everybody saw that everyone else wrote they realized that every on of them has been going thru some though things and when they read other human stories they maybe did a parallel to their own lives and understood that they were not alone.
Ms. Gruwell is the first teacher to show trust and respect for the “at risk” students at Wilson High. How does Erin Gruwell demonstrate this? Why are some students more resistant to trusting each other?
- Ms. G doesn't judge them and she talks to everyone as they are as much worth and she gives them real, new books and that shows that she trust them all and that they can handle new things and so on.
I think that all the students in reality wants to trust each other but they have to much preconceptions about each other.
Why is Eva so affected by the ending of Anne Frank’s diary?
- I think Eva put herself in the situation and really found her way into the book about Anne Frank and understood what she went thru. She read that Anne were in a safe place at first but then she got killed because she was jewish. She wanted that Anne would live longer.
What makes Eva choose to “go against her people” in the courtroom? Do you think this was a good decision? How does her family and friends react?
- She realized that it's the right thing to do, she saw how sad the boys family were and how her classmate looked at her and it affected her to, she didn't want that someone else should get the blame when it wasn't that person.
I really think she did the right thing, it's not right to protect your own when you know the truth and you know that someone else can get the blame and you know that you can stop it.
Her gang friends and family thinks that she did the wrong thing to not protect her own people and she has to stay at her aunt house. But the girl in her class that were in the courtroom is happy that she told the truth and didn't protect her own.
Do you think it’s more important to “protect your own” or do what’s right?
- I think it's important that you think whats right, to protect your own or tell the truth and show that you are a god fellow human being. I think that I would to what's right in Eva's situation. And I think her family did wrong when they doesn't want to have something to do with her and that she feels unsafe
