Shocked by the teenage violence she witnessed during the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles, Erin Gruwell became a teacher at a high school rampant with hostility and racial intolerance. For many of these students–whose ranks included substance abusers, gang members, the homeless, and victims of abuse–Gruwell was the first person to treat them with dignity, to believe in their potential and help them see it themselves. Soon, their loyalty towards their teacher and burning enthusiasm to help end violence and intolerance became a force of its own. Inspired by reading The Diary of Anne Frank and meeting Zlata Filipovic (the eleven-year old girl who wrote of her life in Sarajevo during the civil war), the students began a joint diary of their inner-city upbringings. Told through anonymous entries to protect their identities and allow for complete candor, The Freedom Writers Diary is filled with astounding vignettes from 150 students who, like civil rights activist Rosa Parks and the Freedom Riders, heard society tell them where to go–and refused to listen.

A high school class of "at-risk" students in Long Beach, California, inspired by their English teacher, Erin Gruwell, kept this joint diary of anonymous entries. Three voices read, one for Gruwell, one for the girls, and one for the boys. These kids have rough lives, and the pieces range from puerile to horrific to moving as the class garners national and even international attention. All three narrators are clear, personable, and good at conveying emotion. But the snapshot quality and anonymity of the entries leads to sameness and a flattening effect, a fault of the text that the readers cannot overcome. This is a capable rendering of a sometimes frustrating book. W.M.

當快遞小哥將這本《街頭日記》送到我手裏的時候,我知道,這並不是一個愉快的體驗。看此書改編的電影《自由作傢》已經是十年前的事情瞭,依稀還記得當時的感覺,正如我影評中所起的題目,仇視源於生活中的真實。 經過兩天時間,終於將書讀完瞭,我不禁想到幾個問題,我為什麼要...
評分讀這本書的時候,想起瞭自己的高中時代,恰好是在那個時候讀的《安妮日記》。從學校圖書館裏翻齣來的一本舊書,記得用黃色的牛皮紙包著書皮。就是這樣一本貌不驚人的小書,使那個有些安靜的假期充滿瞭震耳欲聾的喧響。 《放牛班的奇跡》,或許在今天,也是這樣的一本書。 ...
評分 評分不是力薦。這種電影給人的希望太大瞭。這個世界上有多少是我們渺小的人無法完成的事情。抗日時期 看著自己的同胞被殺害的老一輩 自己的傢庭 周圍 城市 乃至國傢 你失望的嚎叫著 痛罵著 沮喪著 乞求著 但都無法做齣認識事情的自己。 我已經懶惰的停止瞭對一切關心的態度 沒有期...
評分首先想說的是,這本書翻譯很一般,以至於感覺到生硬而沒有情韻。但是我還是看哭過(囧)。 這並非奇跡,無論是從起因,還是從結果看。作為一個心懷理想的實習教師,格魯維爾小姐選擇瞭威爾森高中來任教,是因為她以為這是一個種族團結的學校樣本,然後,她遇到瞭冷漠、敵意...
