The Park

Okay.. so on Saturday afternoon I was with Bri, Emmy, Carson and Dal. We were all SO bored so we decied to walk down to the store. We all made a plan to walk into the store in pairs... just in case any Socs arrived. Bri and Emmy walked in first... but Carson and Dally wanted to go in first. I suggested that why don't they walk in together. They didn't listen so Carson and Dallas ended up going in first. They came out 5 minutes later with Pepsi and Candy. Emmy and Bri went in after... they got the same thing. It was my turn to go in and I felt like the odd one out since I had nobody to go in with. As I picked up my pop I heard Socs... Damn it! What did they want?
"Move it Greaser! Your in our way!" I turned round to see Bob and Randy.
"Hm... Why don't you move!" I knew it was the wrong thing to argue back.. but they really made me mad. They came closer and grabbed me by the collar of my sweater.
"That was the wrong thing for you to say... Greaser. We wanna fight!!" Randy spat in my face.
"Uh... get off me!" I pushed him off me and threw the money on the counter. I ran out of the store. Nobody asked any questions, they just ran after me. Finally I ran out of breath and rolled onto the grass. Everyone sat around me.
"Lilly... what happened?" Bri asked.
"Yea... Lilly. You look so pale." Carson added. Dallas just sat there laughing. Carson turned around and hit him over the head.
"Socs!" I answered.
"What about those damned Socs?" Dally asked.
"They wanna fight...." I replied.
"Oh... so were having a rumble?" Dal and Carson asked.
"Hmmm... kinda.."
"When is the rumble Lilly?" Bri asked.
"Its tomorrow.. Sunday night at 10:00pm." I answered. I felt cold and warm all at the same time. Everyone was surprised. I knew I shouldn't have gone in there alone... or answered them back. But Greasers can beat those damn Socs!

We walked to the Curtis' house. Everyone was there. We told them about the rumble that's going to happen tomorrow night.
"I don't know whats going to happen tomorrow. But all I know is that we can beat those Socs!" I explained! Everyone nodded.
"Yea! We all need to have positive thoughts for tomorrow guys!" Brook added.
"Soda... if it wasn't for you we wouldn't have all these friends we have now." Bri answered. We all looked at each other.
"GROUP HUG!" Steve shouted. We all laughed and had a huge group hug. Us Greasers feel like one big family! I love you guys! Im sorry about what I got us into for tomorrow!

Freedom Writers Review

My favourite part in the movie was when you find out that it's based on a true story. I think the movie shows that even if your a different race, you can still get along with others. Violence isn't a solution for everything... actually violence is NEVER the answer. When Mrs. Gruell first started... nobody liked her. She didn't feel like they gave her enough respect. So... she decided to let them read the Diary of Anne Frank. When they read it Eva comes in a slams the book onto the desk. She kind of got mad because nobody told her that Anne Frank was going to die. The class came up with a good idea that they raise money to invite the person who looked after Anne Frank, to talk about the holicost. After being in the same class for Freshman and Sophmore year, the whole class learned how to get along. They didn't care how different they were... because they realized differences didn't matter anymore. Violence wasn't going to solve anything anymore, they all managed to get along in this class. They loved their teacher so much now they wanted to stay with her for their Junior and Senior year. Alot of problems went on to keep the class together... and after that they were able to stay together!
