Why is trust such an important component of a teacher-student
relationship?
If you need help from the teacher is easier to ask her/him for help if you trust her/him. You must feel like you could talk about other things than about the school with the teacher. Some things maybe you couldn't talk with your parents with and then it's good to have an other adult to talk with.
2. How do the classmates learn to trust one another? How does reading and writing initiate this change?
When they understand that they aren't the only one who had lost a friend or something and understand that they are quite equal then they trust each other. The writing help them to think about their lives and that it just could become better. They had so many feeling inside and it helped when they could get them out with writing. The reading helped them because in the book there are people who had live a hard life exactly like them.
3. Describe the transition in Mrs. Gruwell’s classroom from the first day of freshman year through the end of the year – how have the students changed? How has Ms. Gruwell changed?
The students accepted each other more now than they did in the beginning. They don't care which color their classmates have or in what group they are in. In the beginning they fight much in the classroom, but that they didn't do now. Even the black could talk with the white now.
Mrs. Gruwell had divorced and she want to was at the school as much as she can to help the students.

4. Do you think it’s more important to “protect your own” or do what’s right?
It's
always best to do what's right. Sometimes it could become hard to do
what's right, but you feel better when you done the right thing.
Sometimes are the right to protect your own, but it isn't so often.
5. In what ways does Ms. Gruwell’s classroom become a family for the students? Do you have a “family” outside of your actual family?
In the classroom the students feel safe. It was like their second home. They trust each other in the classroom and they could talk about everything.
Outside the classroom they couldn't feel safe because if they said wrong things at wrong places they could be killed.
I don't have a family outside my real.
