freefom wirtters review

Fresh faced, idealistic Erin Gruwell is ready to take on the world as she steps inside Wilson High School for her first day of teaching. Her class, a diverse group of racially charged teenagers from different walks of life--African Americans, Latinos, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members, and underprivileged students from poor neighborhoods--hope for nothing more than to make it through the day. the only thing they share is their hatred for each other and the understanding that they are simply being warehoused in the educational system until they are old enough to disappear. Despite her students obstinate refusal to participate during class, Erin tries various means to engage them on a daily basis. They spark a transformation in the classroom, compel them to listen and force her to take off her idealistic blinders and take in the kids survival stories of their undeclared war on the streets. Erin begins to connect with them. She brings in music from the Hood, and literature from another kind of ghetto, The Diary of Anne Frank, and with these simple tools she opens her student eyes to the experiences of those suffering intolerance throughout the world and the struggles of those outside their own communities. Knowing that every one of her students has a story to tell, Erin encourages them to keep a daily journal of their thoughts and experiences. After sharing their stories with one another, the students see their shared experience for the first time and open up to the idea that there are possibilities in life outside of making it to the age of eighteen.

Review about FREEDOM WRITERS

The freedom writers had served a lot especially about the students as high school students. In the beginning of the movie, the students created a lot of chaos and confrontations among themselves. Apart from that they didnt even seem to care about their studies. The problems in their lives had made them to be half-hearted people in studying as if they were forced to study.

After that the new teacher came and she had changed the students a lot especially in terms of their behaviour. The students had changed from the bad ones to the good ones. Their interests in studying also grew.

It was hard for the new teacher to develop the interest for the students to study. She even tried to borrow books from the school but one of the teachers didnt give the permission to her. Indeed the teacher bought the story books for the students. The old teachers in the school didnt even seem to care about the students' education. I think the new teacher did the right thing that she let the students to let out all their problems in a book this will help the teacher to assist the students how to solve the problems and at the same time know how to make the students succeed in their studies.

In my opinion, the Bruneian students are lucky as they are provided with adequate facilities and books for them to study.

Movie Review: Freedom Writer

Basically, I'm immensely impressed with this movie because it has an interesting storyline to it and it's also based on true to life situation. The introduction of this story is based upon a new teacher who is assigned to teached a particular grouped of teenagers whose background have a variety shapes and forms.

The plotlines of the story goes like these: the students introduced to the new teacher; they ignore, the teacher try to understand them and wanted to changed their views about life and trying to give them a message that everyone of them has a bright future ahead of them, they respond to the teacher and realised theirs errors and faults. Thus, as I watched the movie further I was totally glue to television because I want to know more and especially how the story ends.

In conclusion, this story touch me in a lot ways like it make me realise that I had a dream that wanted it to visualise into the real world and it kind of motivates me to study fort my life. In addition, this story has a connection with human's right to education no matter what background they have. There are still people and everyone has that rights and I believe this world wil prosper with that kind of idealism.

p.s Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.

Education has the immense power to transform individual's life.

According to this topic, an individual will need education to lead or have a better life. I must say i agree to this topic, as much as i don't want to admit it, but that's the fact. You gotta have what it the society wants or else you're just another useless human being(no offense but yea, that's how the world spin).

Today's generation, it is very common for people to go to Universities. But not in the past centuries, where going to school may even be a problem. If it is not about financial problem then it is about gender biased. What has that have anything to do with education? Oh yes it does. Story by my mother, my grandpa doesn't allow her and dint want her to go to school, only her brothers get to go to school. Why you may ask? Probably to them, daughters doesn't need much education cause they'll be leaving home one day(married to someone) therefore there is no need to spend that much money on the 'daughters'. It is so unfair i know, but what can they do right? And there we goes on complaining about how tired we are after school and etc, but never realised that how lucky we are to even have the opportunity to go to school, and more advantage in Brunei is that we receive education for free if we go to Government schools but we still take it for granted.

What i think about the education is that no doubt it is essential in ones life, but that individual will need to know how to promote their intelligence in a proper way. Unlike some terrorist etc, they have brilliant IQ but sadly enough, they used it in a wrong direction. Therefore, to all of us who gets to go to school, appreciate it and try your best to achieve what you want.

As they say ' The future is in your hand'.

Education is a fundamental right for all people, women and man, of all ages throughout the world. Every person, child youth and adult shall be able to benefits from educational opportunities designed to meet their basic learning needs to be able to survive, to live and work in dignity, to increase their standard of living. For example in developing countries like India. They're one of the over-populated countries; they have too much population to support with their little recourses. Therefore, most of them are living in poverty. Their government cannot afford to pay for their education. Most of them work in the farm helping their parents instead of studying.

Imagine life without education, they will not know the basic learning. For Example, The danger of aids, malaria, measles, the prevention etc. But even if they know the prevention, they will not be able to get well as they usually live in the remote area so to get medicine is difficult. Even if the government provide them with the medicine, I believe they rather used the traditional herbs as they do not know what medicine can do and how it works. So education is very important. Government should give full rights to them. And school should be free like in Brunei.

Education has the immense power to transform individual's life

As the above title says it all. In my opinion, to me I find it true to the norm that education has the tremendous power to transform one's fortune and at the same time it's also a human rights where all walking of life has the right to education. Who wouldn't be its essential that all younger generation to have education. In addition, it'll help them to be prepared and to survive in a world that's constantly changes.

Honestly, folks you have to admit where education goes fortune comes in big bundles of money. I'm not only saying that education equals money. I meant people have to be intellectual in certain area where they can be part of the average steroetype community. In certain scenerio like the government's objective: to provide a standard of living to the society. In accordance to the Universal Declaration of human Rights in Article 26(2) that "Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strenthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the maintenance of peace".

Like in the above title and I seriousely stressed that out. In all conjunction, try visualise your life in the early 20th century where people hadn't got the rights to education and there lifes (majority) weren't that harmonious and stabalize in terms of income, security and health. Such circumstances that I can' imagine myself live in that sort of predicament. Therefore, I earnestly believe that education has the immense power to transform one's individual fortune ( i know i'm repeating the same lines but who care's >-< because it had such a beautiful tone to it).

P.S Intelligence appears to be the thing that enables a man to get along without education. Education appears to be the thing that enables a man to get along without the use of his intelligence

#Education is a human right with the immense power to transform#

Nowadays education is very significant in order to survive in today's sophisticated life. Without education it is very hard for us to get the desired job and even to earn money. If someone wants to build a house, he cannot build it just like that but there are certain things that need to be considered of like how many metres, how much sand is needed, what kind of bricks are suitable etc. This is because if these things are not to be considered, the house might create a lot of flaws and eventually collapse.Thus education which includes a lot of things are really important in order to ensure that the house is secure to be living in.

Another example is that a farmer may survive maybe for just a few months without education. But indeed there are so many problems of farming that need to be solved by using the intelligence of education. For instance if there are pests intruding the farms and there are herbs growth then it is prominent to find out on how to solve the problem. The solution is that to use pesticide and herbicides. But these things cannot be used in excess otherwise it may 'kill' the crops. Apart from that if he doesn't know how to deal with money very well then it is going to be a disaster if he wants to sell his crops. This is because if a company wants to buy from him then he needs to know obout 'commercial education'. This helps him in selling with a lot of profits.

But don't ever think that education always brings good things to human. In certain cases it might bring a tremendous problem to the society. For instance, if a person has the intelligence in computing then he might create a virus to be spread to other people's computers to destroy their data. This is called hacking. If this happens to a big company and suddenly the confidential and prominent data has disappeared due to the virus attack, this will bring a big lost to the company and eventually may get bankrupt!

More likely to success

1. Create and bake my very own desserts (the rebirth of such child dreams)
2. Collect as many myths and legends archives around the world (to be crazily genius of such fantasy)
3. Score staights A's for my AS and A2 (studious to an iron fist)

Least likely to success

1. To gain at least a height of 155 cm (the impossible)
2. Try to get rid of my bad habits (I'm reversible to the endless nil)
3. Getting as many new wardrobe (if I have the money the size of America or better 'THE WORLD')
