Freedom Writers - Economics of Race and Gender - Movie Review ExampleThe pic is made in the context of Rodney King sparked LA riots in 1992 and its impact on people with a special reference to the lives of students at Wilson High tame after a few years of riots. Director set the stage for a serious subject in the very beginning of the movie eyepatch filming street situation and unrest during riots. Long Beach is a gang-infested and poverty-stricken place where violence and killing is the everyday story. This scenario wages a untried war in streets and school is no different, a cynical resentment and anger moves in school hallways and triggers violent confrontations between students at any head in time. In the very beginning, Erins enthusiasm for teaching was scoffed at and her students were entitled to be un-teachable rather at-risk gangsters who can never be tamed. Despite her unhoped-for encounter with students and their arrogant behavior, Erin decided to fight for the purpo se of her presence in school as a teacher. After the initial hostile reaction to her efforts, Erin creatively tried to be friend with students. It was the only way to unite the teens and teach them to think beyond the racial divided that they couldnt cross even in the classroom. Their minds were blocked by the perceptions that they were anything except students they were blacks, whites or Cambodians. Erin wanted to expose them to different perspectives and ideologies beyond their own streets and homes. It was only possible through books but to Erins surprise, school authority not only refused to provide books but other resources as well. For authorities, it was the waste of time and resources. Somewhat discouraged and shocked, Erin takes up the part-time job in order to provide students with learning aids. By encouraging students to write what they feel like in their diaries inspired by Anne Frank and Zlatas Diary A childs life in Sarajevo, she not only worked on their language skil ls but also taught them tolerance and compassion.
