Freedom Writers
Tolerance - Willingness to recognise and respect the beliefs or practices of others.
Evidence
An example of when the students showed tolerance of each other was when the were eager to learn when Ms Gruwell taught them. When the student drew a picture of another student, mocking his lips - Ms Gruwell spoke to them about the Holocaust and told them that they are nothing compared to the Nazis. Another example is when the student told the class he was being evicted and that he felt like his English class was his home. The whole class showed love and compassion towards him and made sure he felt alright.
Reflection
I think tolerance of other races is important because if we tolerate each other we can all get along and the world will be nice and peaceful. I also think it is important because everyone deserves to be treated the same as everyone is equal no matter how different they are.
After watching Freedom Writers I have learnt that tolerance and heroism can change a whole group of people. I also learnt that one person is able to change a whole group of people with positivity. Another thing that I learnt is that there are lots of people in America that grow up with bad backgrounds.
