__Freedom Writers Respons __

Writing is so much more than just a way to tell a story. It is a way to free your mind of the problems that are troubling you. The students in the movie started writing in their journals to tell the story of their lives. They could write about their troubles at home, their childhoods, or their gangs. Eventually they turned to their journals to release their emotions. They expressed their worries and fears in a way that they never could in just talking to someone. They realized that there was another way to release their tension without resorting to the violence of gangs. They could write down what they felt and then put it away to forget about it. They could also write about their good times and come back to read it later to feel happy and nostalgic. The movie, The Freedom Writers, made me realize that writing can be used to get so many different messages across. It can tell a story and move so many people. Writing can be used as a way to release all the thoughts from your mind and make you feel free.
