free period

We watched a movie called the "freedom riders". Inspired by a book base on true story of a teacher. This movie is about how a teacher helps her students to get along with each other. Everyday the black walked out of their houses, the chances of getting beaten up by the other races is high. Both parties felt that they do not gain respect from each other. Everyday, there's chaos outside the school and inside the school. Everywhere.

This is where the teacher comes in. The teacher, Erin, sacrifices her own time, knocking senses out of them. Each and every students have their own story to tell. Erin encourages them by telling them to write their experiences in life. Present future or the past. She wanted to know how they felt. She knows. What matters in the past can never be resolved. Let bygone be bygone. The most important thing is to strengthen themselves and not let a conflict destroy your life. She took them out of the classroom to watch the Jews conflict. Gather up the Jewish and tell them their story. She want to tell them "in the end what do they get in the war?" Blood, dead bodies lying around and rattling of shotguns? No point fighting against each other there will be more people dying everyday.

urgh i love peace.
