    Freedom Writers was a good movie. In the very beginning, a young Spanish girl named Eva told us a story about what happened to her real life. When she was a little, she saw her father has been arrested. But he was truly innocent. After that she and her friends grew up together through carious hardships and difficulties. There were lots of fights, shooting around her neighborhood because of gang disputes. Luckily, Eva had met a person who influences a lot at her freshmen year during high school, an amazing teacher. Mrs. G was also a freshman of her education careers. She had been dreaming about this moment for a long time, and she expected that she will have a class of lovely young students who would want to be taught. Obviously she was wrong. These kids don’t show any respects to her. They even had a big fight in front of her face, which not looks like what she thought. But Mrs. G never gave up; she really feels she has responsibility to her students. And the most important thing is she believes she can be a good teacher. She made many ideas to connect with her students. For example, she uses a rapper’s lyrics to teach Internal rhyme, and she divided the group situation at the same day. But the next thing happened to Eva is a tragedy. Her boyfriend killed a boy by mistake. This changed Eva’s thought, and let her to question what she believes. One day, Mrs. G used a ‘funny’ picture to explain everybody about Holocaust. But nobody was buying it; they said Mrs. G doesn’t know their situation at all. Mrs. G wanted to understand her students; she decided to let those kids started write journals of their life. By reading their stories, Mrs. G shocked about what these teenagers have to deal with every single day. I was moved by this plot, too. I can only imagine what it would look like, but it was real. Meanwhile, Mrs. G has to take a part time job to afford books and trips for her students, because the school doesn’t support her idea.  She did not waste it; everyone got benefit after her hard work. During the second semester, every student in her class already had been friends. I really enjoyed this move and I learned a lot. Hilary Swank and other young actors told a real touching story. By this story I realized maybe there still has some classification today as reasons, but I knew that no matter what you are, only just what you can be.
