    Book Summary: You Don T Know Me

    This is a man versus man conflict. The climax of the book is when John goes out with Violet Hayes and comes home late thinking that the man who is not his father isn’t there but he is there. The man who is not John’s father starts to severely hurt John but he said stop and starting running away. The man who is not John’s father finally catches him outside of the house in the front lawn. Mr. Steenwilly then comes and rescues John. His mother then pays more attention to him. The author’s purpose was to show that people who are abused need to speak up because their teachers are not always going to check up on them and happen to be there when they are getting hurt. It was a good book about a teen and his mishaps. I recommend this book for people who are quiet and for kids who are in seventh to twelfth grade. It is a book with lots of hilarious parts, sad parts, and exciting situations that will keep your heart pumping for more. To sum this book up, I guess you can say that it’s a book about a teen who can slip through the cracks and lose almost everything but wind up having the things he wanted…

    Who Is Hillary Swank's Room 203: Here It Matter?

    Social issues were touched upon making the story extremely controversial and yet somehow important for all teenagers to see. It touches mainly on racial discrimination and how at that school, African-American, Mexican and Asian students in gangs do not get a voice. As Mrs. Gruwell develops relationships with each and every one of her students, she learns that all they truly want is for somebody to hear them, for somebody to remember them if they die. By giving the students their diaries, Erin attempts to get them in touch with who they truly are, and what they do with such a quiet voice shocks her. The movie shows viewers that together, they can move mountains. The viewer will explore touching diary entries, teaching them that everything that is said will make a difference to somebody. It doesn’t matter what is spoken, or what is written, what matters will always be the moments when somebody hears the author. Hears them not by reading what is written, but by understanding that everybody has a story to tell and everybody’s story is important. The viewer will grasp a new found respect for everybody that they meet because, as learned though the movie, everybody has a voice, they just need to learn how to use…
