In “Diary 24” from The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers The author is taken out of his apartment and became homeless, this even a sudden as it came throws over him a bunch of frustration like in this excerpt “While kids were having fun enjoying the summer, I was packing my clothes and belongings into boxes and wondering where we were going to end up. My mom didn't know what to do or where to go. We had no family to lean on. No money was coming in. Without a job, my mom didn't have enough money to get another place. What to do? No father to help out, just a single mom and her son.”
Explenation The poem reflects the time period because Madam's words show she is frustrated about being treated unfairly but determined to fight for what is right. Her attitude is like that of many people who were living then. The poem also uses language of the time.
