The Freedom Writers: Writing Prompts
Choose one of the following and write a rough draft of a one page response:
• Do you ever feel like you are “living a life you didn’t agree to”?
• What does Scott mean when he says “because I can’t be your wife”?
• What does it mean to love “the idea” of someone more than you actually love them?
• One of the students asks, “Why should I read books about people that don’t look like me? People that I don’t even know and that I am not going to understand because they don’t understand me!” How would you respond to that question?
• What does it mean to be “blessed with a burden”?
• Do you agree or disagree with the statement “silence will get you no where in life”?
• Ralph Waldo Emerson said “To improve is to change, and to be perfect is to change often”. Do you agree or disagree?
• What does Erin Gruwell mean when she says, “Don’t use me as another excuse as to why you can’t make it”?
• When Erin Gruwell is lobbying to teach her students their junior year, she’s asked by her adversary “what is it that you’ve actually accomplished?” In your opinion, what has she accomplished?
