The summary of the film is about a lady who had a very hard childhood and who ended up being a teacher in a public school, the first days they did not repeat or pay attention to her because it was a conflictive class. She began to change the teaching methodology and began to see changes in the students because their biggest problem was that they were dark-skinned and had many problems with each other, but after a boy died she began to see the changes and that everyone they collaborated. She gave them a book to read that left many of them intrigued because she wanted to meet its author and her teacher made a speech with her where they could learn more about history and understand many things in life. Another problem that arose during the movie is that they were going to finish their school year and they did not want to have another teacher because they felt good with her and they already got along with their group, she had many talks to solve that and what she got is have them until the end of school.
A message that this movie leaves us is that regardless of where we come from or our skin color, all of us have personal problems but we must get ahead and with the help of the people who surround us and love us.

This is a film based on the real life of a young teacher who started teaching in a school in a dangerous area of the United States (California). It shows the reality that many young people are socially excluded or discriminated in the streets and within the same institution because of racial and gangs problems , these problems were all too common at the time. Despite her lack of experience and the frustration of a bad start with her students, Miss G decides to move forward, even though she does not have the support of the other teachers at the school, and to look for strategies that will allow her to gain the trust of each and every one of them. Like visiting a museum and reading the "Diary of Anne Frank". These actions deeply moved the students, so much so that interracial conflicts in the classroom were put on the back burner, allowing them to take a first step in learning and moving forward. By gaining their trust, I was able to generate a change in their mentality to give them a vision of a better future. Miss G opened the doors for them to choose to be better people.

Summary by: Kazzandra Alvarado, Jose Velasquez and Alberto Dominguez.

2)
Erin Gruwell: Erin was very empathetic and friendly with the students, always putting herself in their shoes. She was very brave to support the students even when no one supported her.
Scott Casey: at first he was an polite man. He becomes malicious because Erin because was trying to help teenagers in gangs, was very selfish.
Eva Benitez: Eva was a rude teenager, she had lived through a rough past. At the beginning of the story she was kind of grumpy and we can say she was a rebel girl.

3)
Build up: When teacher Erin arrives at the school, she finds a group of misbehaved students who were being affected by the gangs. Erin finds it difficult to control and educate them. There are not many people who support the students, and she decides to change that.

Climax: The teacher discovers a rasist drawing made by a student and starts talking to them about the holocaust. The teacher realizes that they have lived a very hard past and gives the students a notebook where they can write down all the problems they had in the past. It also help them to express their feelings and help the teacher to understand them.

Resolution: The end of the story is that the teacher manages to change the students' view of the world with a lot of effort. She also makes them understand that she will be there to help them with their problems.

4)

One scene I liked in the movie was when teacher Erin plays with her students.  She tries to understand them and is very empathetic. There was a line in the middle of class, and she asks her students questions that make them think and realize all the people they have lost because of gangs. She also gives them a notebook to write down everything they experienced and how they feel.

5)

One part of the movie that I didn't like was when teacher Erin went to the library looking for books for her students. The point is that Margaret didn't want to give her quality books for them, she say that they always ruined them and that's why they didn't give them the good books. Margaret even tells Erin that if she wants to give them good books to buy them herself.

6)

The message of the film is that students need to be more responsible with their lives and the way they act. That everyone should work together to create an environment where everyone can feel safe. Don't let your past define your future.

7)

If I had to rate the movie from 1 to 10 I would give it a 9. The reason is because I really liked the way the students are guided by the teacher and how she educates them and understands them. It also shows the reality in which many teenagers live and the problems they go through due to gangs.

8)
Discouraged: used by people to express that they have lost confidence or enthusiasm.
Example: The bad weather discouraged us from playing soccer.

Boundaries: is something that represents a limit of a particular area, it is used to divide.
Example: These walls mark the boundary of my property.

Courtroom: It is the room where the court of justice meets to resolve a problem.
Example: The defendant entered in the courtroom to solve the problem.

The story tells how a recently graduated teacher began teaching language classes to a group of students from the most violent areas of California.
These students have gone through all kinds of circumstances, such as: poverty, violence, drug and alcohol problems, family and friends in jail, among other things. This makes them a very difficult group to teach, because of their lack of interest and their vision of school.
But the teacher, even more convinced and enthusiastic after realizing the reality of the young people, was convinced that she could manage to teach them and guide them on a better path. To achieve her goal, she even fought with the principal.
As one of the strategies, the teacher buys some notebooks for the young people to write their own diary and in this way they have a space to unburden themselves for things they have suffered in the past. At that time there was a war of racism where they discriminated against each other, fighting for their territory, this led the young people to keep hatred with the certainty that no one understood them, this teacher did everything possible to improve the situation at the university and each one of them without having to suffer with them that situation, she never gave up and had all the patience in the world to achieve a good society and ensure a better future for young people and that is how she did it.

It is a movie based on real life, which leaves us with a very emotional message. It teaches us to fight for our dreams and not to give up.
At the beginning the teacher Erin finds herself in a challenging situation because of her students, since they have had bad life experiences. She wants to help them by reading and writing by teaching them to express their feelings and to face them in a correct way. Erin is going pass by several obstacles including her divorce from her husband Scott. We liked that part because in spite of that she remained firm with her convictions. Which she had the support of her dad Steve. There was one girl who was a little suspicious named Eva but in the end she agreed to the teacher's good heart. There was an envious teacher who did not want the students to excel, her name was Margaret, but the teacher did many activities to teach her students to see the good things in life.
Finally the students changed their lives, they left the streets, they liked to read and the teacher will continue to teach and support them.

The film tells different stories of different students who have had to live different experiences. Some characters stand out, such as the teacher Erin, the student Eva and the father of the teacher Steve. During the movie, there were different moments of tension, and where some stood out. At first, the students did not want to side with her by showing rejection towards the teacher and she had moments of frustration for not knowing how to have control over them. She began to solve these problems when she began to understand them according to the stories about her that were told in the newspapers. And for resolution, an important moment is when Eva speaks the truth in front of the judges. A good moment in the movie is when the teacher tells her group that she will continue with them next year. A bad moment is when the teacher discriminates against a student because of her offspring. We should never judge people without knowing them and as much as possible help them to grow.

Eva is serious, leader, and stubbornness. Erin Gruwell: sweet, intelligent, and consistent. Father is supportive, caring and lovely. The movie started with the story of Eva and explained how she became part of a gang, as well as the other characters. Mrs Erin started gaving classes in this school and notice they were not common students so she decided to start understanding their story for changing the way of the class. At the end, all the learning and advices she gave them were took and consideration by each students in their life. Scene I like: when the teacher decides to the drawing of some students and explain them what they are making with something so simple comparing with the kill of the Jewish people because of their appearance. I did not like when the alarm sounded because some people of a hand that belongs to Eva group, all students started running away from classes disturbing their learning and study time. Moral, To understand it does not matter color, race or economy to like someone or even to judge them before knowing them, the importance is to overcome your situation and try to be more comprehensive. The rate for this movie is 8 out of 10, i considered the idea to focus the movie on a real problem happening in United States even nowadays, is an example of how students should be educated and explain the importance of their own studies for their future. Moreover, learning the story of each individual can cause an empathy of people hearing from them. Rot: rot in the ground, meaning it will decay. Holocaust: You will finish like what happen in the Holocaust, this means the war against European jewish during the Second World War
