Freedom Writers Diary opinion piece
Chrystal Peterson Opinion Piece
2/3/14
Reality check Fantasy, mystery, action, adventure, horror, and romance are all types of genres people generally have interest in reading. Most of the time, a person will pick up a book of the genre fantasy to escape into a different world, that may not exist. They may even pick up a romance filled book to day dream and fantasize. We have the freedom to read any type of book we desire, and the freedom to read it whenever or wherever we like. The Freedom Writers Diary is a non-fiction. A book that tells the story of war, reality, and struggles of daily adolescents lives. It’s a book that teaches and educates students, parents, and teachers honestly and straightforward to understand a different world than what they may live in. The Freedom Writers Diary should be taught in schools because it demonstrates students how to overcome adversity and find success, teaches students the reality and the dangers of events that could happen in reality, and also motivates and engages kids to read the book or even read a book in general. “A 0.5 now a 2.8- Change is good, for those who wait,” Freedom Writer, Diary 78, Page 160, defines the meaning of overcoming adversity and finding success. Every day, these students are reminded constantly that they are a failure, culpable for the death of friends or family, a drop-out, a culprit or even a no body. The freedom writers face deadly struggles daily and still manage to keep their life and overcome their biggest challenge, adversity. Overcoming adversity and finding success is the most difficult struggle they wake up to and face. As seen in the book, students are likely to explain that they won’t make it past graduation, they won’t succeed, and they’ll be just like the others and drop out as expected. I think this book teaches students, such as myself, that even in the toughest times you can overcome adversity. Finding success is an essential piece to life that people give up on after
