I've chosen these questions:
3. Why is trust such an important component of a teacher-student relationship?
My answer: I think that if the teacher trusts the students the students will feel like their words and what they think is importent and that they matter. I also think that if the students trust the teacher, the teacher will feel more confident and sure about teaching.
5. How do the classmates learn to trust one another? How does reading and writing initiate this change?
My answer: The students do different sort of tests and "games" to learn to trust one another. I think that there were a lot of missunderstandings before Ms Gruwell came. These kids had seen a lot of bad stuff in their lives like death and drugs. So I think that when they were reading they got to see how other peoples lives were. And when they were writing they got to tell their own stories and write what they think about.

8. Why is Eva so affected by the ending of Anne Frank’s diary?
My answer: I think that Eva liked the book very much, maybe because Anne Franks life reminded her of her own. And because Anne Frank had such a hard life I think that Eva wanted Anne to have a happy ending.
10. Do you think it’s more important to “protect your own” or do what’s right?
My answer: I think that sometimes it might be hard to do whats right when someone you care about gets problems because of it. But I still think that you should always do what you think is right.
11. In what ways does Ms. Gruwell’s classroom become a family for the students? Do you have a “family” outside of your actual family?
My answer: The students feel safe in the classroom and I think that wherever you feel safe and you feel like people respect you, that can be your home and the people can be your family. You don't have to be related to be a family.
16. What did you think about the movie? Motivate your answer!
My answer: It was a really good movie. It made you think about how different people are and how good your life actually is. It's a really good movie when you want to learn about how it can be in other schools and how special everyone is. Everyone has their own story that they want to tell, the only thing you need to do is listen to them.
