Straight from the front line of urban America, the inspiring story of one fiercely determined teacher and her remarkable students.
As an idealistic twenty-three-year-old English teacher at Wilson High School in Long beach, California, Erin Gruwell confronted a room of “unteachable, at-risk” students. One day she intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature, and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust—only to be met by uncomprehending looks. So she and her students, using the treasured books Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Zlata’s Diary: A Child’s Life in Sarajevo as their guides, undertook a life-changing, eye-opening, spirit-raising odyssey against intolerance and misunderstanding. They learned to see the parallels in these books to their own lives, recording their thoughts and feelings in diaries and dubbing themselves the “Freedom Writers” in homage to the civil rights activists “The Freedom Riders.”
With funds raised by a “Read-a-thon for Tolerance,” they arranged for Miep Gies, the courageous Dutch woman who sheltered the Frank family, to visit them in California, where she declared that Erin Gruwell’s students were “the real heroes.” Their efforts have paid off spectacularly, both in terms of recognition—appearances on “Prime Time Live” and “All Things Considered,” coverage in People magazine, a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley—and educationally. All 150 Freedom Writers have graduated from high school and are now attending college.
With powerful entries from the students’ own diaries and a narrative text by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary is an uplifting, unforgettable example of how hard work, courage, and the spirit of determination changed the lives of a teacher and her students.
The authors’ proceeds from this book will be donated to The Tolerance Education Foundation, an organization set up to pay for the Freedom Writers’ college tuition. Erin Gruwell is now a visiting professor at California State University, Long Beach, where some of her students are Freedom Writers.</p>
我是在宾馆里的电视看过这本书改变的电影, 第一次看的时候就十分感动,因为一直希望自己也能有这样的老师。值得注意的是,这位老师一直强调并坚持带的珍珠项链,就好像她对学生的关爱和对她理想的执着一般,使得这为白人老师,在一个种族议题激烈的社会中,成为一名为爱的...
评分首先想说的是,这本书翻译很一般,以至于感觉到生硬而没有情韵。但是我还是看哭过(囧)。 这并非奇迹,无论是从起因,还是从结果看。作为一个心怀理想的实习教师,格鲁维尔小姐选择了威尔森高中来任教,是因为她以为这是一个种族团结的学校样本,然后,她遇到了冷漠、敌意、不...

评分当快递小哥将这本《街头日记》送到我手里的时候,我知道,这并不是一个愉快的体验。看此书改编的电影《自由作家》已经是十年前的事情了,依稀还记得当时的感觉,正如我影评中所起的题目,仇视源于生活中的真实。 经过两天时间,终于将书读完了,我不禁想到几个问题,我为什么要...

Part of something special.
评分这是一个奇迹!就像民权运动中的freedom riders,他们是freedom writers。这些放牛班的孩子,用写作抒发自己的情感,记录自己的成长。这是一本关于成长关于教育关于种族的书,它让我想到了自己的成长经历,赞同书中所写的每个人都有自己的故事。
评分比看电影深刻
评分看到一半有点失去耐心,翻到最后几页,看到了一个学生背UCLA录取,心满意足地合上了书。 这是一个好老师,一个好故事,可是吧150个学生的4年日记筛选出这一本书的厚度,一切变化都显得太有戏剧性了,让人觉得好像不太真实,所以我有点无动于衷。
评分简直是奇迹
