Question

Describe one moral dilemma that an author faced in the diary entries you read from The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers. What do the moral dilemma and its conclusion reveal about the author?

Answer 1

Answer:

She is torn between telling the truth and being loyal to her family.

Explanation:

In "Diary 33," the author faces a tough choice. While she valued loyalty to her family, she would never knowingly help put an innocent person behind bars. Both of her principles were challenged, but only one could be satisfied given the circumstances she found herself in. The author's deep love for her mother shines through in this difficult moral situation. The resolution revealed that her mother inspired her to speak out, even if it meant betraying her gang's trust.
