Reflect:
This week we have been talking about race and gender still, trying to wrap it up. We saw a movie clip of The Great Debaters that reminded me of the movie called Freedom Writers. Even though they are set in different time periods, they still deal with the blacks being supressed and outcasted. In one, segregation is still going on but the blacks are still trying to go to school and make something of themselves while in the other, black and white schools have been mixed for awhile but we notice that all black schools still don't have the supplies that the white schools get. In Freedom Writers, no one spends time with the black students so they don't get good grades but when the new teacher comes, she makes them want to learn and she tries to get better books for the kids and she really makes a difference in their lives. The two movies are different, but they remind me of one another.
