During the sophomore year Ms. Gruwell began to realize that some of the teachers had it out for her and talked about the students in the teacher’s lounge.
Ms. Gruwell had bought books for the kids about teens in the holocaust and other places of genocide. These books included: The Wave by Todd Strasser, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, and Night by Elie Wiesel.
The students compared their lives to Anne, Elie, and Zlata.
Because of all the teachers were against her Erin interviewed for a new position at another high school but the principal stopped her and talked her out of it.
One of the students invites Zlata Filipovic to the school to talk to them about her experiences and everything she went through.
What did the other teachers have against Erin?
What did Ms. G do that was so special or different from other teachers?
Why aren’t the names of any of the students in the diaries?
Where there still racial conflicts in the classroom?
monotonously- lacking in variety; tediously unvarying
fatalistic- the acceptance of all things and events as inevitable; submission to fate
Logistics- the branch of military science and operations dealing with the procurement, supply, and maintenance of equipment, with the movement, evacuation, and hospitalization of personnel, with the provision of facilities and services, and with related matters.
During sophomore year the students learned more about the genocides and even started a read-a-thon.
