A personal opinion on the character marcus from the freedom writers

Freedom writers i am home character name

When it comes to teaching writing, I just don't think it can be black and white. Since then Marcus does not seem very good at making connections anymore. His mom is in big depression since his father left them also. That is until her son joins them. This gives him a reason to change. White people are often seen as "goodie two shoes" and as more civilized than other races. She doesnt fit the stereotype of the others because she doesnt give up on people like the other teachers and even the students do. After he is kicked out, Marcus lives in a shack with only minimal essentials. Definitely both. This is not always true. There's a scene in the movie Freedom Writers where Hillary Swank is standing helplessly in front of a blackboard, trying to teach essay writing while the students revolt. How do you feel about that decision? She has learned more from the streets than from her house or school, she is also a darker shade of Asian as people stereotype combodians, as dirty Asians. But they loved The Freedom Writers Diary. And I must have some kind of courage.

He shows a different side of himself when the whole class makes fun of him with a drawing of him, one of his classmates did.

No one has to continue living this lifestyle.

People don't know that behind all his jokes he has lost many friends in the gang fights and he could be killed at anytime. Ever since his mother kicked him out, his microsystem has become very small and with only the influence of the gang he was in affiliation with.

Jamal is stereotyped as the immature teenager who doesn't seem to care about school nor the others. At Freedom Writers, we do give a shit what those kids think and feel.

Frustrated by her efforts to inspire her low-achieving students, she handed out journals and asked the kids to write about their own lives. This gives him a reason to change.

I pulled sentences out of whatever we were reading and broke them down. Now he's an educator in a school made up entirely of refugees. Marcus may be a teenager, but he is still a minor in this film! To the rest of the world it's just another dead body on a street corner. One of them was a really simple sandwich: a piece of white bread, a piece of baloney, and another piece of white bread. This gives him a reason to change. Any subject. Your time is important. Some kids have to work 3 or 4 jobs just to pay the rent. Every time I step out my door I face the risk of being shot. In the begging of the movie he is portrayed as angry with life and he keeps himself from others. And I must have some kind of courage. Overall, Marcus is a character who is very reclusive and lives in solitude for most of the film. Jamal "At sixteen, I've seen more bodies than a mortician. Download
