Freedom Writers Diary

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl – Anne Frank
The Outsiders – S.E. Hinton
The Giver – Lois Lowery

I thought it was great how the text was presented. The anonymous entries allowed for more connection with the reader in relation to the text. I also found it interesting how each text was left with grammatical and spelling errors present; to me this created a greater sense of reality in the stories.

In the diaries there is a much higher degree of individuality and therefore reached many more people on a personal level. Did some of you feel overwhelmed or offended by some of the diaries?
