Entry #3 Myranda

The movie and the diary entries we read were very touching and they gave me goose bumps. I really enjoyed this I wish we would have read the whole book. I would have actually read this! This book, well the parts we read, was amazing!!! One of the themes that stuck out to me was when the one guy said to Meip that she was his hero and he had never had a hero before and she said no I’m not a hero you guys are and the reason why they are is all the things they have over come on there own and how there survivors. That almost made me cry I had huge goose bumps. I think Erin is an amazing teacher who really touched me. She helped all those kids over come the I guess you could say the segregation they were going threw. Before Erin came into theses kids life's they didn’t get along with different races or ethnic groups. They had clicks and enemies, but after Erin came into there life they all had a different more positive view on life. I felt a connection with the white boy. He seamed to be scared and alone. I feel alone a lot and sometimes scared. I feel like the odd one out like he dose.
