I think what the Freedom writer means by “rock the boat” is to speak up. I think it is good to speak up when something bad is happening to someone good. There are many examples in this movie so far that show people not rocking the boat when they should be. I have been a witness to many injustices. There have been many injustices on the playground, in the dark alleys, and many other places. Some of them have been on me, some of them have been on my friends. I never wanted to get involved, so I just walked away. I should have told the person to take it easy and to stop. Instead I did nothing. If I could go back, I would have tried to stop the situation. It wouldn’t have been that hard. I truly believe that it is hard to speak out because you think you will get in trouble or hurt. I do not think that it is easy to tell someone to leave another person alone. It takes a lot of guts. But once again, not really that hard.
