Ideas about Justice/Injustice
the film Freedom Writers focuses on many different injustices in a community on of these being some students not allowed to read advanced literature.
An example of justice in the movie is when Mrs Gruwell provides an out of school learning opportunity to engage the students in the class work.
The students not only enjoyed the excursion, but they were also engaged in class work from then on.
This had a large impact on the students and we see this when they are sitting down with holocaust survivors. the dinner aims to teach the students about the impact of violence can have on the innocent.
The teacher Erin Gruwell tries her hardest to get approval to use these books but is denied.
The school denies Mrs Gruwell's excursion and physical learning opportunities. This shows us that no matter how hard Erin tries to give her students a beneficial education the school is not ready for the changes of racial integration, therefore she will not be given any support from the school.
"you cannot make them want an education, the best you can do is teach them to obey, learn discipline." In this scene Mrs Campbell uses a high modality statement this tells us that the school is not open to giving students a chance to get a proper education.

another time the school shows injustice towards students is when they deny Mrs Gruwell's excursion and physical learning opportunities.
