The book begins during the freshman year in the fall of 1994.
Due to busing and an outbreak in gang activity, a large majority of the white students had left.
Blacks, Latinos, and Asians made up a large majority of the student body.
On Ms. Gruwell’s she experienced a racial situation between a black student and a Latino one.
There was a lot of racial tension between the different racial groups of the school.
Where did all of this racial tension start?
How does this tension affect clubs or sports teams?
How have Freshman in High school not heard of the holocaust?
Why does it seem like as soon as Ms. Gruwell shows up all of this racial tension is gone?
Propaganda- the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person
integral- necessary to the completeness of the whole
anonymity- an anonymous person
The first couple of chapters are about Ms. Gruwell’s adjustment to her new class and their metamorphosis into kids who actually care about her and realize that she is trying to help them.
