The teacher Mrs Grunwell wrote a diary every day about the class and how it went from the day she began to teach them.She even thought that she was to young to involving with teaching at a high school but anyway she loves to teach young students about literature,but the whole class was unteachable.She kept pushing them to learn in any kind of ways.
The three most important in the diary was:
She really wanted to help them even though everyone stood out after a week or so,but the thing was they all say her as a wealthy women and wanted a good conscience.She took good tricks how to bond the class mates by learning stuffs that all of them is similare to them.
If you were latino,afro-american,white or asian there was a war between them all and kept shooting at each other on the streets.There were only one white boy int that class everyone thought what in the hell is he doing in this class because every white students are smart and goes for their selves in a class of their own.
The latina girl found herself similare to Juliet because her loves story is the one she got and her parents didn't approve the relationship between them.As she wondered more about the story about Juliet and Romeo,she wanted more details for exampel how her parents reacted and how she responded to them unlikely for her she didnt saw anything to the parents and got curfew and no outside communication.
The three intressenting parts in the story was:
The teacher never gave up on them and now got them a idé about writing a journal/diary and no one in the class could read it besides herself if they wanted to,they could write everything from musik to their onwn lifestyles and how the experiance the "ghetto".After a while she read awful things they got throw by themselves and thought no one could understand how they felt/feels but they wrong and she planned to have some games with them and talk serious with them.
She took the whole class for a field trip to Schindler's List and saw how the people looked strangely at her and took their purses in fear of the colored young "gangsters".One even had the nerv to tell her "if you love black people so much why don't you just marry a monkey".That is the most awful thing she ever heard I belive but that is just my opinion.But luckily the proffessors read all that on a article in a newspaper and invited the class to a seminar to see the author of Schindler's List Thomas Keneally.Even himself he got impressed of them and invited them to meet Steven Spielberg at University Studios.When they returned from the University the head of the English department "You are making us look bad" !
Her bubble burst their but she wanted to keep her job and make a diffrence to the students.
There were a reputation about Sharaud threatened his last english teacher with a fake gun and was the clown of the entire class.But it took a month for her to win over Sharaud and by time got exicted for her lessons to learn more about literature.Mrs Grunwell or as "mrs G" as they called her for wondered how long it would take forthe other ones to be as Sharaud.
(This is an incredible story and even true,I've seen the movie and I just wanted to saw I loved with my entire heart.They spoke like it really was real but the "ghetto" they speak of know I can't understand because it's much better now than ever before.)
